Legally Blonde

Summary: Good Fluff!
Review: If your goal this Saturday is to see deep philosophical issues pondered for 3 hours on screen, skip this film. If you want to have some fun and a lot of laughs, see Legally Blonde! Reese Witherspoon is once again on the mark as a deceptively bright and motivated college student who doesn't know what she's not supposed to be able to do and then goes ahead and achieves even more. All the while, she maintains her integrity and learns to stay true to herself - something we could all strive for.

It's not without its flaws however. Most of the other characters seem stilted and appear to be reciting lines from a poorly written high school play. I'm not sure why the writers and directors gave only the main character any depth or appearance of acting ability.

That aside, the story is cute ( and that's really the best word for it!) and I'm glad I chose it over Jurassic Park 3 last night!

Summary: The Best Movie of the Summer!
Review: I absolutely loved this movie! I was laughing the whole way through it. It just shows you that if you try hard you can achieve something without help from your blonde hair and big bubes. She goes through law school to get her old boyfriend back. She makes it with help from friends and helping friends. She realizes she can change if she wanted to, know that you don't base everything on first impressions, and understand the differences between people. This is a must-see movie! One you don't want to miss! See it and you'll konw what I mean.

Summary: movie demonstrates why blondes will be disrespected
Review: This movie played into stereotypes about blondes and it was sad to Reese Witherspoon stoop to such a low level. For her to act all "airheady" and get into Harvard is so annoying.

Summary: Had me laughing through out the movie
Review: I had my doubts about this movie when I first saw the commercials for it. Fortunately my girlfriend dragged me to it, and I had a blast watching this film. The movie had me laughing for the whole time I was there. If you are looking to have a good time at the movies, go see "Legally Blonde".

Summary: Legally Blonde
Review: Legally Blonde is fun if you don't mind taking your comedy with a lot of tongue in cheek. The story in Legally Blonde is preposterous but knows it but asks you to go along for the ride anyway. Reese Witherspoon makes the film work with her unsinkable upbeat spirit. Often films like this win me over with the secondary friendship even more than the central story. In this case Elle Woods (Reese) helps her painfully bashful trailer trash manicurist Paulette Belafonte (Jennifer Coolidge) find love with the brutally handsome UPS guy. Its little stuff like this that infuses some heart into the picture that leaves you with a little more affection for the story after you leave the theater. I do classify Legally Blonde as a chick comedy that the dudes will enjoy but a few will probably secretly wish was about something else. The three star rating of the film is more because as a guy, accessorizing and fixing my depression with a manicure and a new handbag isn't something I can relate to. But it does not reflect that I didn't have a good time. If possible I would give it three and a half stars.

Summary: Legally Blonde
Review: This movie is the funniest, most awesome movie I have seen in a really long time. Reese Witherspoon shows that if you are blonde you have all the fun and brains no matter what people say.Sure, the part wheen she takes over a case is a little unrealistic but this is Reese Witherspoon we're talking about and she can do anything!One of my favorite parts of the movie is when Reese is buying a dress and a saleslady tries to rip her off but because Reese majored in fashion merchandising she gives the lady a really funny tounge-lashing. This is the best movie that has come out in summer 2001!

Summary: Reece Shines as Complex Blonde...Again
Review: Reece Witherspoon finds herself carrying a major release feature film for the first time, and rises to the challenge. Legally Blonde is a crisp and energetic comedy that refuses to be taken seriously, even during its most pivotal courtroom scenes. The subtle and smart screenplay, adapted from Amanda Brown's novel, nonetheless falls into mediocrity for long stretches, the plot is somewhat half-baked, and the characters are archetypal at best. Yet somehow, I was genuinely entertained.

Witherspoon triumphed as a troubled teen with a razor sharp edge in "Freeway" (1996) and as an annoying and ruthless over-achiever in "Election" (1999). In each of her roles, her intelligence and capability smolder under a Barbie-doll exterior. Her characters put us on edge. One moment we're haughtily amused, the next, hopelessly intimidated. It's the type of feeling we got watching Sharon Stone in her prime. Expect more of the same from Witherspoon in this upbeat vehicle.

As she pursues her ex (Matthew Davis II) to Harvard Law, men and women alike hastily underestimate Elle (Witherspoon)-a Sorority president and Fashion Merchandizing major from Beverly Hills. Each faces the consequences as Elle repeatedly tramples the mythology of the ineffectual Blonde, all the time remaining impeccably dressed and manicured.

Myself a graduate student at Harvard, I must admit I enjoyed Brown's jabs at the mentality of many Ivy Leaguers. But this film is mostly worth seeing for its down-to-earth common sense, for its unbelievable comedic situations (one character is outed by his knowledge of shoe designers), and of course, for Reece.

Summary: An Enjoyable Romp
Review: Reese Witherspoon proves herself a talented actress in what could be a sequel to Clueless. The film is satirical and bubbly with stereotypes about West meeting East (Coasts, that is). While the movie is a silly and enjoyable film for young adults, it does have more than just pretty people and slightly unrealistic situations. The great messages the film manages to get across for young women are very important.

1. You shouldn't give up on something because other people tell you you can't do it.

2. What you think you want is not always what's best for you.

3. If you promise to keep a secret, you should keep it.

4. If you believe in yourself then anything is possible.

Aside from the "feel-good" messages, the film is just a lot of fun. You'll find yourself laughing out loud no matter your age. This is a movie you should be happy for your kids to see. This is also a wonderful film for mothers to enjoy with their daughters. There is no sex, no drugs, and no violence. It's great that such a positive film has made it to number one.
