...side of him, but in Legally Blonde we see sarcasm and a slightly darker side of him. The soundtrack for this film was ok but not brilliant. The main theme song which is sung at the beginning and the end of the film is perfect, but on it's own as a single it wouldn't sell well. Hoku did a good job but it's not something I would listen to if it wasn't on the soundtrack and the film, I wouldn't bother with it. Overall a good film, one to stop in with ...

Review of Legally Blonde (DVD)

Ok chick flick, teen movie lover here. If you have read any of my other movie ops I always mention the fact that I LOVE teen movies. Anyway my friend saw this movie and said when I saw this, I thought of you. To be honest I guessed what she was thinking of as the film looked really girly and pink (just like me) so I knew I would love it. After I found out it was number one in the states I knew it was going to be good! It was a surprise hit just ...
...Anyway I have to say I expected loads of fun and I definitely was not disappointed this film was just brilliant. I left the movie theatre feeling bubbly and happy for some reason and I just had the urge to go out and buy a pink dress and I did! Lol! This film is definitely one for the girls, I don’t think the guys would appreciate it plus it makes girly blondes look really cool (even though I already know that, haha)! THE PLOT~~ Elle woods has ...

Review of Legally Blonde (DVD)

Legally Blonde is the story of Elle Woods, a beautiful blonde fashion student from Los Angeles. Elle has an enviable lifestyle. She is adored by her room mates, spoilt rotten by her wealthy parents and has a handsome boyfriend who is the talk of the town. For Elle, life has got just about as good as it can get, and the film opens with her busily preparing for her forthcoming date – when she expects her boyfriend to pop the big question. But ...
...week for new DVD releases, Legally Blonde still seemed better than watching terrestrial television for the afternoon, so I duly hired a copy. Against all expectations – and probably against my better judgement – I have to confess that I really enjoyed this movie and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it to others. Legally Blonde is genuinely funny – not in a crude teenager kind of way, or in a subtle way, but just ...

...um I kinda liked watching Legally Blonde, shoot me if you want but I did. ** So when you gonna get reviewing the film then? ** Um, right about NOW!, it is though, its a chick-flick, us guys don´t go to see them do we?, well I do, sometimes, usually when I´ve had a bit of a downer and got nothing better to do and well y´know it kinda felt like one of those days. Brief synopsis of the movie time?, you´re damn right!, All Blondes are dumb aren´t ...

Review of Legally Blonde (DVD)

...from my nieces to watch Legally Blonde, in the belief that it was going to be a really terrible chick flick, I finally succumbed to the pressure, and was surprised at how enjoyable it was. It is by no means an intelligent film, as it never sets out to be, but the humour through out the whole film is innocent and very good. The plot itself is a bit of teenage fantasy which will appeal to young girls as it also includes a sub romantic story. But the ...
...seriousness. Unlike many modern comedies, Legally Blonde works on displaying situation comedy rather than placing purposeful jokes throughout the movie. The humour itself comes mainly in the form of the girlie pastiche which is totally over the top and as a bloke, found myself laughing at most of it and being thankful that I don't live in a pink world. The casting of Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) as Elle was a masterful stroke, as she displays ...

...why I didn't hear about LEGALLY BLONDE until it came out on video...and yet it made over $100 million at the box office!!! (I also heard rumors that it literally saved MGM studios from bankruptcy, considering the fact that the only franchise keeping the studio alive was James Bond.) Anyway, I had rented this film to watch with my sister and brother-in-law...it started almost unbearable (at least I thought so) because of the typical (and stereotypical) ...
...I think I know why LEGALLY BLONDE became a runaway and unexpected hit: after all the blonde jokes we have heard, we were expecting (and maybe needed) a film like this to come along. Personally, I love blonde jokes, which this film has plenty of, though it also proves to everyone that not all blondes are stupid. Now, like most comedies of this nature it is predictable in some spots (me and my sister knew off the bat that she was going to end up with ...

...my pants with mirth, but Legally Blonde just left me cold (and the wife wasn't impressed either!) A shame, as I have to admit that Reese Witherspoon absolutely acted her socks off, but just couldn't lift this dire movie out of the dung heap. So, how bad is it? Well, where shall I start? So very many options... Shall I begin by telling you all about the dreadful script? The terrible acting? The stereotyping? The lack of continuity... Shall I go on? ...
...the only subtle thing about Legally Blonde is… hang on a minute… there must have been SOME subtle moments, clever little tricks you only think about afterwards, erm, nope, not one! Not a single genuine, witty, clever second in this film. Oh, don’t get me wrong, there were some funny moments, but they were all of the slap-stick variety and totally predictable every time. It’s not even that I expect a teen-movie to challenge me, but is asking for simple ...

IF YOU ARE BLONDE AND FEMALE YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM! It has real girl power! I have just got back from seeing this film and whilst it is still fresh in my tiny blonde bimbo brain, I felt it necessary to write about it on Ciao (and I’m not even getting paid for it – that’s dedication for you!!!!). The best way to see this film is by taking all preconceptions that you may have about it completely from your head! Most blokes will ...
...girlie paradise! My mate & me came out of the cinema squealing with delight, whereas most blokes would wonder what all the fuss was about! This has got to be the ultimate chick flick – no doubt about it – an hour and a half of pure girlie pleasure, sit back and enjoy! Storyline --------- Serious stuff now! The film is directed by someone called Robert Luketic (who I have never heard of, but being blonde I don’t suppose I would ...

Legally Blonde is a great feel good movie, it's also very girly, after I saw it I painted my nails and did my hair, it justs makes you wanna pamper yourself! *THE PLOT* Elle Woods has it all. She is head of this famous sorority. She was home coming queen. She has blonde hair, she's pretty and looks after herself, she also has a little dog called Bruiser. Elle has a cute boyfriend called Warner who she thinks is going to ask her to marry him. Unfortunately ...
...out to be her saddest. Warner tells Elle he needs to think about his future, she thinks he's gonna pop the question but instead he tells her he can't be with a "dumb blonde". He says she isn't serious enough and he leaves her to go to Harvard Law School. Elle is obviously mortified and doesn't come out of her room for like ever! But her two best friends Serena and Margot come to the rescue and take her for a manicure and pedicure. While they're ...

...we eventually ended up renting Legally Blonde. Elle Woods is perhaps very stereotypical; with her blonde good lucks, her somewhat dizzy personality, her perfect parents and perfect boyfriend, it is no surprise when she becomes homecoming queen. Expecting her boyfriend is intent on proposing to her at dinner, her friends and sorority ensure that she is ‘beautified’, ready for the defining moment in her life. Her boyfriend, ...
...stink, has a surprise in store. Rather than proposing, Warner has decided to break off their relationship, pointing out the fact that it would not be right for someone of his status to marry a blonde bimbo –she simply has too much fun and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to date her while he attends Harvard. Elle is initially heartbroken, all her dreams in shatters – her friends try to bring her out of a depression in stereotypical ...

Review of Legally Blonde (DVD)

My choice to see Legally Blonde was based on the fact that I’d seen pretty much everything else on release, the film has received pretty good reviews across the board and it of course star’s Reese Witherspoon, an actress who excels at this kind of thing and someone I’ve been a fan of in films such as Election and Pleasantville. Witherspoon plays Elle Woods, a ditzy blonde who’s heavily into beauty and fashion. She sees her ...
...some things in common but Legally Blonde also has a lot of great things going for it. The material wouldn’t be half as good if it weren’t for the casting. Reese Witherspoon is excellent; she’s instantly likeable, looks great and has a perkiness that lifts your sprits throughout. Davis is also great as the handsome but secretly dim-witted (ex) boyfriend. In supporting roles there are the likes of Luke Wilson and Selma Blair who are ...

As it was, I rushed out the following day and bought the VHS in Woolworths for £2.99 - bargain! Since then I've probably watched this movie about 30 times, and I never get tired of it. This is one thing that never fails to cheer me up, because it's a real upbeat ...

Legally Blonde. This really is the best film you’ll EVER see! Directed by Robert Lucketic, It’s all about a girl named Elle Woods(played brilliantly by Reese Witherspoon) who’s every girls envy and every boys dream girl. She has the perfect boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis) who she dreams of getting engaged too, until one night when he dumps her. The only reason Warner has chucked her is because she’s not “clever” enough. His family have high expectations ...
...The music in Legally Blonde is great and really suits the film! It includes Watch Me Shine by Joanna Pacitti, Perfect Day by Hoku and We Could Still Belong Together by Lisa Loeb. It captures the exact way that people really are. Right from the very start when she breaks up with her boyfriend and refuses to come out of her room for a week right through to the end when she realises an important lesson in life. Elle’s a do-gooder, she’s always trying ...
