Summary: My Pink Report
Review: "Legally Blonde" is the funniest,coolest family movie I have ever seen! It has great acting and a very original plot. Reese Witherspoon does the best job as Elle Woods! I love this movie so much because it's about a dumb,blonde go-girl who tries to make it at one of the hardest,smartest schools that there is. How she tries to handle being "smart" is what makes this story so hilarious! Everybody out there,this a definitely must-see movie! The DVD version also contains some great special features,including the cool music video "Perfect Day" by Hoku.

Summary: Cute As Can Be!
Review: I totally love this movie! I wasn't really expecting much when I went to the theater to see it but I loved it so much that I saw three times. Reese Witherspoon is absoulutely adorable as Elle Woods. She truly gives an excellent performance. This movie suceeds on so many levels! With all the humor and the uplifting message you can't help but love this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Anybody can get into Harvard
Review: Isn't there that joke, "Dumb Blonde"?

The movie Legally Blonde will prove that little phrase otherwise.
In this movie, the glamorous blonde Elle Woods(Reese Witherspoon) goes to Harvard to win her ex-boyfriend who dumped her because he thought she wasn't smart enough. Elle trying to get the love of her life back goes to Harvard to prove that she isn't dumb. When she gets to Harvard, she finds out that her ex-boyfriend is engaged to this girl, Vivian.

Elle goes to do manicure and do her hair to get rid of her sadness. Did this work? Well, kind of. She just gets by each day until the party that Vivian had one day. She is told by Warner at that party that she wasn't smart enough to be in Harvard. Elle proves it wrong by starting to study hard and actually succeeding in class!

This movie shows how facts about a girl's life such as how to get your hair permed, keeping in the latest style helps Elle win an important case.

In the end, Elle dumps Warner, her ex-boyfriend, when he proposes to her and dates another guy(Luke Wilson) whom I can't seem to remember the name.

In all, this is a hilarious movie worth watching. You can see that the people who actually enjoys their life sometimes have more success and that blondes are not always dumb.

Summary: One of the year's best comedies
Review: This was a great movie-- funny, smart, heartwarming and inspiring-- in spite of stupid trailers and bad reviews. I usually avoid the average teenage fare of dumb slapstick stupid guy humor like the plague. But this movie develops a great story and characters with character, even the villains who you love to hate. Watch it and laugh, let your heart glow and your eyes fill. It's one of my favorite movies of the summer of 2001.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Legally Funny!
Review: This film was hilarious and heart-warming without being raunchy and tasteless (i.e. "American Pie", "Scary Movie"). Reese Witherspoon's performance was witty, cute and vivacious as Elle Woods. I thought that she was a bit ditzy to apply to Harvard Law School only to win her man back, but by the end, she proved that she didn't need Warner Huntington III to complete herself. This film has a great motto for young girls: "Believe in yourself, a guy does not complete you"!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Legally Blonde
Review: I have always enjoyed Reese Witherspoon, I think she is a very talented, smart, funny, and beautiful actress. I hope that people really notice her talent in this role. Reese Witherspoon is hilarious as Elle, a steriotypical blonde, California girl. Elle really shows everyone, especially her boyfriend Warner that thinks she isn't smart enough. I never laugh out loud in movies, and this movie had me laughing the whole time, Jennifer Coolige is also very funny as the woman from the salon! ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Blonde Bombshell is RIGHT!
Review: Though I am not the biggest fan of Reese Witherspoon, she was really delightful in this film. She fit the part perfectly. This is the perfect movie for any female who is down in the dumps. It is definitely a "feel good" movie which makes you want go out there and "get 'em". I loved it! This is definitely a must see!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rent, don't buy...
Review: Reese Witherspoon, in a 5 star performance makes the "Legally Blonde" DVD rentable. Like Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, Reese carries the film. She is so confident and charismatic in her performance as a seemingly dumb blonde (a sharpie in blonde's clothing) that the film is worth a rent.

Other positives: great soundtrack of girl songs, terrific DVD features about the making of the movie and the outtakes - there are a huge amount of extras here.

What makes it not "buyable"? The rest of the cast is forgettable, unlike Clueless, which featured great support for Silverstone, Reese is forced to carry the movie. Both love interests are unworthy of her and there is little or no chemistry, there are no breakout character actresses in the ranks of other students in the sorority or in law school. The familiar actor playing the high powered law school professor, Callahan, changes so quickly into a lounge lizard, it will make your head spin. The actress who plays Paulette, the manicurist that Elle befriends, is not believable in the role. Exceptions? A great chihuahua, and the fabulous Holland Taylor as the woman law school professor....

In an effort to transform a California girl into a Harvard Law student, the filmmakers go too far into the "Barbie syndrome"...fashions and accessories are too girlie and just too adolescent to be believable. A great illustration - while Elle is getting ready for her "engagement dinner" (which turns out to be where she gets dumped) she tries on a knockout dress in turquoise. Unbelievably, she appears ready for dinner in a cheap red and black number, instead.

A nice flick for chicks where the misunderstood heroine gets more than just the man she adores, she shows the world she is a person of quality, without giving up the girlish touches that make her unique. Witherspoon proves she can carry a comedy, but her film presence is so strong, we all hope it will translate into meatier roles in the future, and not just give her the opportunity to host Saturday Night Live.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant writing
Review: For a movie that is in no way shocking, and that has no suprise twists it is the brilliance of the writing that truly makes this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
