I've seen it countless times and still laugh out loud every time! At the same time, it's motivational and emotional - girl power! Reese Witherspoon is absolutely wonderful. The cast and crew researched a lot for their roles and making the sets looks realistic, which definitely paid off. I also remember loving the soundtrack when it first came out, and the songs are still nostalgic and uplifting.

I love the opening credits scene, because where the film is dancing and also I really loved it! Elle is my favorite character and she is very pretty and she likes to wear pink for the performance. The best scene is Elle makes her way to the elevator and gets stuck or something.

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.

Legally BlondeThe classic "chic-flick." The feel good movie. Actor Reese Witherspoon plays college student Elle Woods, a charming, bubbly, and kind heart-ed Los Angeles sorority girl who positively impacts the lives of everyone she encounters. After being dumped by Warner, her Harvard Law-bound boyfriend, Elle is heartbroken. He expressed to Elle that he is obligated to marry, "a Jackie not a Marylyn." Not taking no for an answer, Elle decides to follow her heart and leave her sorority and attend Harvard Law in order to win him back. Reese's excellent acting, production elements, and the overall message of the film will leave you wanting more. With her bleach blonde hair and designer clothing, she is seen as a Barbie doll, or a "dumb blonde", before being credited for her intelligence and positive influence on others. Reese portrays Elle perfectly, in an extremely comical way yet still particularly believable. Her tone of voice can change drastically based on her mood, and her humor is contagious. She carries a great deal of confidence and charisma with her, and speaks with such positive's to everyone which is special to watch. Elle encourages others to do their best which makes being the viewer inspirational because you feel like you are able to take the motivation and positive's that Elle shows in the film, and use in it your own personal life. Elle's life is a roller-coaster of excitement, which means sororities, men, crazy friendships, and lots of fun and glamour which is a treat in itself to watch. The camera work is pleasing to the eyes, and the soundtrack is agreeable to the ears. In the beginning of the movie when the sorority was first introduced, the camera frame perfectly captured the essence of what the common audience would picture a sorority to look like: the women were working out, putting on make-up, and doing their hair while upbeat music played in the background, which effectively set the scene and gave the audience the knowledge of where Elle Woods comes from. Sure, that could be boring to watch if you are not interested in stereotypical "chick-flicks." However, the sarcasm and humor that the characters use appeal to anyone and everyone. Elle's life can make anyone envious and the camera work, and the soundtrack only add to the pleasure. Every song fits the emotional state of Elle Woods, which can range from heart break, to over the moon with joy. Overall this movie will make you laugh until you cry, and just plain ole' cry from the emotional connection you feel from the characters in Elle's life. This movie can boost your spirits by making you feel that anything is possible. Following Elle's relationship and life journey is an experience that will keep you guessing and laughing all the way through the film. Whether you just got out of a relationship, need a little motivation or are just looking for a good laugh this light heart-ed movie will appeal to any of your needs.
