In the sharply funny LEGALLY BLONDE, Reese Witherspoon gives a glittering performance as Elle Woods, the natural blonde sorority queen who enrolls at Harvard Law School. When she...
more...first appears, Elle seems to be no more than the bright cousin of CLUELESS's Alicia Silverstone. Expecting her boyfriend Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis) to propose, she is mortified when instead he says he needs somebody serious as his wife. When Elle discovers Warner's brother is engaged to a law student, she decides to go to Harvard. She studies for the LSATs, submits a video essay--in which she appears in a sequined bikini--and, miraculously, is accepted. At first, Elle is rebuked by Professor Stromwell (Holland Taylor) and is the target of snide comments from other students. But, gradually, it becomes clear that Elle is no fish out of water--she is smarter, more driven, and more likely to survive in the rarefied Harvard atmosphere than anyone else.
Witherspoon gets fine support from Selma Blair as Warner's new fiancee, Jennifer Coolidge as a beautician, Victor Garber as an unscrupulous professor, Ali Larter as a client from Elle's sorority, Holland Taylor, and Luke Wilson as a lawyer fascinated by Elle's unconventional approach. The smart, witty script is by Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith. The first-time director is 28-year-old Australian Robert Luketic.

Hey check it out...Malibu Barbie!
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by LR_17

Advantages: Love, honour, justice and respect for blondes everywhere!
Disadvantages: Bad casting in some places as well as acting

...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 ... Read review

Don't Judge a Book By Its Hair Colour!
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by BabyGirl

Advantages: Funny, Light Hearted, Very Girly, Very Me
Disadvantages: A Tad Bit Predictable.

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 ... Read review

IF THE PRADAS FIT, YOU MUST ACQUIT
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by LostWitness

Advantages: Simple, harmless fun
Disadvantages: Intellectually stimulating this is not

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 ...

Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by Angelus

Advantages: Ali Larter!!!!! and genuine humour of course
Disadvantages: Warner's Character

...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.

This blonde has a few highlights
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by christianfilmcritic

Advantages: Reese Witherspoon, innocent humour
Disadvantages: May not appeal to male audiences

...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 ... Read review

A Blonde Goes A Long Way...That'll do, Elle
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by eve6kicksass

Advantages: proves that some blondes arent morons
Disadvantages: too silly for some

...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) ... Read review

Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by shallow

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too many to mention

...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 ... Read review

Simple good fun
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by Staggly

Advantages: Funny, easy to watch, Reese Witherspoon
Disadvantages: People will hate it because it's a chick flick and very american

...was on and saw that Legally Blonde was previewing…I’d seen the trailer, Reese Witherspoon is superb so off I went.(By the way I had a free ticket because on special packs of Dairylea Lunchables you get two tokens. Collect six and you can use ‘em to get a free ticket for any UCI cinema…a great deal!) The basic premise is this. Reese Witherspoon is Elle Woods, your typical stereotype blonde high school girl. Homecoming Queen, ... Read review

Do BLONDES have more fun
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by moose

Advantages: So easy to watch, puts blondes on the map!, very light-hearted, good acting
Disadvantages: Bit predictable, few copied scenes

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 ... Read review

Pink and Pinker
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by Willow_Wiccan

Advantages: It's an excellent flick for chicks and it has the gorgeus Luke Wilson in it
Disadvantages: It's very pink and doesn't have enough Luke Wilson in it

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.

Just another Clueless type movie
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by Simoncook1

Advantages: Some good performances, funny at times
Disadvantages: Weak plot and too many stereotypes.

...we eventually ended up renting Legally Blonde. <The movie> 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, ... Read review

A brilliant comedy not to be missed
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by Great_reviewer07

Advantages: Brilliant story & characters. Very funny
Disadvantages: None

Legally Blonde is the 2001 comedy starring Reese Witherspoon & Luke Wilson. It was released in cinemas 26th June 2001 & was generally liked by the critics. They stated that this film was a surprise hit, it wasn?t expected to do too well at the box office as it?s really just a girly comedy with no real substance although despite it being just your typical chick flick Legally Blonde actually managed to gross an estimated $141,774,679 at the box office ...

Blonde's Really Do Have Fun
Review of Legally Blonde (DVD) by utero

Advantages: very funny, a lot of fun, Reese Witherspoon, supporting cast
Disadvantages: not that original

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 ... Read review
