Pjtaylor-96-138044 What starts out as a smart satire on the rich, valley-girl socialite society, cleverly inverted to be seen from the inside, soon becomes a much more nuanced affair with the focus on character rather than stereotype and conveying the usual but effective messages of being true to yourself no matter what others think, not judging a book by its cover, being nice to your fellow human and being the best version of yourself you can possibly be. 'Legally Blonde (2001)' gets all of this across remarkably well and, unusually, none of its ideals are ever diluted or corrupted, even during some of the flick's sillier scenes (a pseudo dance number sticks out as the strangest) and some ever-so-slightly problematic moments (more due to an early 2000s ignorance than ill-intent). It's when the film stops poking fun at the protagonist and starts to expertly put you in her fish-out-of-water shoes that it sets itself apart from others of the kind, keeping a kind heart and ending up wonderfully endearing and crowd-pleasing affair. The central character arc is actually really well drawn and realised, with a tangible difference between what she wants and needs, which means the inevitable completion of that arc is extremely satisfying and, actually, quite uplifting. 7/10

aasthat-98209 Well, the best part about his film is you'll be motivated after finishing it up. Though it's a very common and plain drama but it does deliver its message of not stereotyping blonde girls in a nice and simple way. Reeth was also all natural with her fashionista and generous character. This movie can be tagged as a light mood late night time pass film.

studioAT I can see why this film is popular, especially with women. It's essentially the film version of the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".It's an OK film, rather than a spectacular one. Without Reese Witherspoon's considerable charm it wouldn't be half as good, because she really carries it.It has it's moments, but is not a film that I can imagine myself going back and watching time and time again. It is passable entertainment at best, but won't go down as being a classic by any stretch of the imagination.

puidokasshay 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.
