Legally Blonde is a very fun movie! The lead is very good as Elle and there are a lot of laughs.I won't defend the sequel, which is awful, or the musical version I saw, which was worse than awful... but they don't detract from the original movie for me, which in my opinion is still a very fun and very funny film. Elle is hilarious and even though she is somehow and somewhat objectionable as a snobby diva of a pampered rich "girly girl", you just have to root for her as she becomes a better person and a better lawyer.It's no Citizen Kane or anything but if you're willing to just shut down your mind for a bit and laugh at some fun jokes, Legally Blonde is worth a watch or two.

Apparently, IMDB users who like this film also like "How to lose a guy in 10 days" which I ve also seen and is dreadful, pappy nonsense. However, this film I ve seen a few times and have enjoyed it each time. It's described as comedy, romance, but really it's just comedy. Reese Witherspoon is brilliant. The script is full of double entendres ("I ve got a big package"), so it doesn't take itself seriously. But the script is well written and well signposted so that her final performance is justified by two or three prior occasions.

The movie is basically about a sorority girl named Elle Woods who cares a lot about fashion and other stereotypical girly things. Her boyfriend ends up dumping her because he implies that he wants to marry a smart girl. She gets heartbroken and decides to follow him to Harvard Law School in hopes of winning him back.Feminine and PowerI like how Elle isn't a character that's not like other girls (looking at you Andy from Devil Wears Prada). She likes girly things, and still ends up being one of the smartest characters in the movie. She's like the other girls, and that's okay. She helps other women around her as well improve their own lives. Elle ends up winning the respect of the strictest professor (also a woman) because she's a hard worker who doesn't give up and is intelligent.A few nitpicks"No movie is without sin" -CinemaSinsElle saying she's discriminated against because she's blonde is inaccurate. Blonde women actually hold more positions of power despite brunette hair being more common, and the myth that blonde people are dumber. Blonde women are the standard of beauty in society, so no discrimination. The 2000s was not a good time for the LGBT movement. We were still behind as a society during that time period with the stereotypes. We are still admittedly behind the times unfortunately. I say that to say that I hated how Elle knew he was gay because he knows fashion. The early 2000s and before tended to perpetuate the stereotype that gay men are fashionable and feminine (basically women in men's bodies), while straight men could care less about fashion and can't spot a designer's outfit at all.Werner was a douchebag, but him not getting any offers is unrealistic. Wasn't his brother like some bigshot? Isn't his brother married to a woman from a famous political family (starts with a V)? His father pulled some strings to get him into Harvard Law School, so wouldn't he pull some strings to get him a job? OverallThe movie was great and really empowering. They even had diversity with the black women at the salon, and a black female judge. The professor harassing Elle ended up in a bad position which is the opposite of actual society.
