If you've ever doubted how much a star can carry a movie, look no further than Legally Blonde, Robert Luketic's pop fluff about a sorority girl who becomes the reigning brain at Harvard Law School. The film tries way too hard to be pop fluff, but thankfully it also understands the comic glories of Reese Witherspoon. As Elle Woods, the supposedly dimwitted heroine, Witherspoon gives a high-wattage performance that somehow comes across as both lusciously cartoonish and warmly human. It's a radiant comic turn worthy of Marilyn Monroe, and Luketic throws the whole movie at her, even though its intentional kitsch and sledgehammer contrivances don't trust you enough to figure out on your own what might be guilty fun about it. It's a lame movie, essentially, that redeems itself by knowing just enough to keep things sunny and moving right along. The film is content to follow several steps behind the regal Witherspoon, carrying her train. You probably will be, too. --Steve Wiecking

1) OMG there she is, Elle!!! We came to see your trial! There's like a judge and everything and jury people! Ladies, take a seat.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
"One of the reasons I wanted to come here tonight was to discuss our future...I think we should break up." (GUY)"What?!!! Ahhhhh." (Blondie)"I love you." (GUY)"Liar!!!!" (Blondie)"I feel comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life." (Blondie)"You're not smart enought, sweety." (GUY)"Am I on glue? Did we not get in to the same law school? ...I'm never gonna be good enough for you, am I?" (Blondie)"You think she just woke up one day and said I think I'll go to law school?" (University DEAN) "You remember when we spent those 4 amazing hours in the hot-tub after winter formal?...this is so much better than that." (Blondie)"I didn't mean to shoot him. I thought it was YOU walking through the door..." (Witness)"OMG." (Elle)"OMG." (Mrs. Windham)"OMG." (Judge)"...This case is dismissed. Mrs. Windham, you are free to go." (Judge)"The rules of hair-care are simple and finite. Any cosmo girl would have known." (Elle)

2) Sweertheart of a film!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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.

3) Funny and Witty!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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!

4) Special Features, missing... BUT all-in-all, a great movie   [Rating: 2 out of 5]
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 Scenes2) 2 Featurettes: "Inside Legally Blonde" & "The Hair That Ate Hollywood"3) Hit Music Video "Perfect Day" By Hoku4) Original Theatrical TrailerWhat it DOES include, though, is this:1) 2 Audio Commentaries Featuring Robert Luketic, Reese Witherspoon, Marc Platt & Film Crew2) a Trivia TrackIf 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!!!!!" :)

5) A funny piece of pink fluff   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
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!
