Legally Blonde (2001)

Predictable yet Enjoyable

In my 4 decades of movie watching, I don't know if I've ever seen one with a more predictable plot than this one. The writers made no effort to mislead the viewer, unlike movies such as Charade with Audrey Hepburn or Sixth Sense. None the less, Legally Blonde was quite enjoyable thanks to Reese Witherspoon's spirited acting, some good gag lines, Reese's amazing pink wardrobe, her Chihuahua's amazing and often coordinating wardrobe, and clever supporting characters. Unfortunately, the supporting characters like the angry lesbian law student and Raquel Welsh as a pampered wealthy socialite only had a few lines and were pretty much background for Reese Witherspoon, but they did add some interest and amusement. Reese Witherspoon's acting carries this movie and brings it from a mediocre 3 stars to a respectable 4. May 13, 2008

Sweertheart of a film!

Legally Blonde is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's not groundbreaking, it has no pretensions of greatness -- but it's absolutely tops for wonderful laughs and a cute chick-lit kind of story.

Legally Blonde is more endearing every time I watch it.

Funny and Witty!

Witty and smart is how I'd describe this movie. I'm a big fan of Reese Witherspoon, so she's an added bonus to this movie. I saw this movie once and fell in love with it so I had to buy it. It's so funny and cute at the same time. Definitely a movie to see! November 16, 2007

Special Features, missing... BUT all-in-all, a great movie

This DVD version of "Legally Blonde" is corrupt. They SAY it includes many many special features on the box, but when you open it and pop it into your DVD player, it does NOT have these special features:
1) Deleted Scenes
2) 2 Featurettes: "Inside Legally Blonde" & "The Hair That Ate Hollywood"
3) Hit Music Video "Perfect Day" By Hoku
4) Original Theatrical Trailer

What it DOES include, though, is this:
1) 2 Audio Commentaries Featuring Robert Luketic, Reese Witherspoon, Marc Platt & Film Crew
2) a Trivia Track



If you want "the whole enchilada", I strongly suggest you don't buy this DVD. It's a waste of money and a big fake.


On the upside, though, "Legally Blonde" is 'a feel-good girl-power [movie]'. It's one of my favorites and it should be your's too! Some parts are hilarious and the plot is great too. If you just want to buy this DVD/movie just for the sake of enjoying the movie, then I'd say "GO FOR IT!!!!!" :) October 16, 2007

A funny piece of pink fluff

This funny and fastpaced movie is the best remedy for a rainy day or finding out, like Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), that your handsome boyfriend Warner Huntington III(Matthew Davis) has just dumped you. The plot is cute and doesn't claim to be "cerebral." There's nothing really to the story beyond the adventures/misadventures of a California Blonde at Harvard Law School. Her snooty, uppercrusty classmates look down their noses at her because of how she dresses, speaks, and acts...to their way of thinking, Elle is laughably unsophisticated and lacking in taste, with neither a history of social progressivism with which to pad her resume nor a sense of genetic superiority. They are certain she doesn't belong at such a distinguished Ivy covered institution as Harvard. Elle, however, is determined to show them that a girl who doesn't wear argyle and loves to get her nails painted when she's under stress can be anything she wants to be. Every bit a funny piece of pink fluff. Enjoy! September 12, 2007
