Movie Reviews of Legally Blonde
Movie Review: Funny and Entertaining :)
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a fan for comedy movies of the younger generation and so I thought I would rent "Legally Blonde" and watch it. After seeing the movie, I knew I had to add this movie to my collection. This is a great movie starring Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Luke Wilson, Matthew Davis, etc. Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) has a good life going for her, being President of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, and a natural blonde. She is in love with a fraternity boy , Warner ( Matthew Davis ) whom she wants to marry, but who dumps her simply because she is "too blonde". Heartbroken but angry enough, Elle decides that she will get Warner whatever it takes, even if it means joining Harvard Law School, where Warner is studying. She joins Harvard, but has a lot of twists in store for her, and must battle through them :)
From my point of view, this is not just another "teen" movie, but it actually gives a good moral that you should never judge a person just because of his/her looks, race etc. whatsoever. The movie tells us this moral in a very funny and cute way, which makes Legally Blonde all the more enjoyable.
Apart from this, there are also the Special Features the Special Edition of this dvd contains such as, deleted scenes, 2 original featurettes, 2 audio commentaries tracks with the cast and the crew, music videos, trailers and much more!
This is a really good movie, which is very light hearted and funny. Reese Witherspoon has done an excellent job portraying Elle Woods! Get the dvd edition today, it's worth it!
Movie Review: Reveals What a Blonde Really Is
Summary: 5 Stars
"Legally Blonde" was one of the funniest movies of 2001. It is the story of Elle Woods and how she goes to Harvard Law School so she could get back together with her boyfriend. Beyond this, she ends up being there for a much better reason. (To find that out just watch the movie.)Now let me go over the plot a little more. Elle Woods gets dumped by her boyfriend because he thinks that he needs a better girlfriend (to become a wife) if he is going to be a great senator. When she's dumped she decides that she must become a lawyer to get him back. After vigorous work to get into Harvard Law, she gets in and things take a turn for the worst.
Actress Reese Witherspoon basically makes the movie what it is. This beautiful, talented woman puts on a show that you won't forget. She truly plays the role of what many people would call an everyday blonde. She talks like a rich girl, acts like one, etcetera.
This movie reveals that blondes are not "dumb" and that they really are smart humans capable of doing what any other human with any other color hair can do.
The setting of Harvard University is great and the students and faculty chosen for the roles are great. Many actors that have already been in other popular movies reappear here for a light role.
I recommend "Legally Blonde" to anybody that wants to enjoy a funny movie with a good plot. Whether you are a blonde or not, this movie is a must. It reveals what a blonde female really is on the inside.
Movie Review: Awesome, Almost-True Picture of How to Succeed in Law School
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy this movie! Seriously, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and most of my friends and family fully support that opinion. So take a chance and buy it!Reese Witherspoon makes a steller performance as Elle Woods, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde, ditzy as can be, who basically comes to one day and decides to attend Harvard Law School. Why? Because becoming a law student is the only way to win back the love of Warner Huntington III (played by hunk Matthew Davis). And suprisingly, she manages to convince the Harvard admittance committee that her brains . . . or assets . . . will make her an excellent addition to the school. Once she gets to Harvard, however, Elle is shocked to learn that everyone does NOT love her. She faces hard classes for which she is expected to prepare, a professor who tosses her out of class, and finally discovers that Warner got engaged over the summer to a preppy Eastern girl. But Elle is up to the challenge, rocketing to stardom even as a 1L (first-year law student to those not in the club).
My 5-star recommendation comes from my love of a good lawyer joke, and the ability to laugh at our profession. And this movie definitely does that. You get to see that law school is filled with tough classes, hard profs, nasty law students, and stretching one to one's limits. But you also see a woman with a truly good heart rise above all the pettiness she faces, and succeed by being true to herself. A truly enjoyable time for everyone watching.
Movie Review: Witherspoon slides into Goldie Hawn's Comic Shoes
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never been a Reese Witherspoon fan; however, Legally Blond has changed that opinion. Witherspoon not only carries the movie, but shines as the eternally optimistic if not naïve Elle Woods who initially believes that success in life is predicated on what others think of you, but grows to understand that belief in oneself is the key to personal success. The film actually reminded me of Goldie Hawn in 1984's Protocol; like Elle, Hawn's "Sunny" is an eternally optimistic blond stuck in a fish out of water situation.While Witherspoon glows, the rest of the cast spends its screen time playing stereotypical roles that help "Elle" develop the inner confidence to carry on. However, it is Luke Wilson, playing Witherspoon's champion "Emmett" that delivers a performance that one only sees once every 19 years. Not since Chris Sarandon played opposite of Goldie Hawn in "Protocol" has an "actor" so effectively played an emotionless piece of wood. Like Sarandon, Wilson is tall, dark haired prop, and performs adequately. We know he is acting when he cocks his head (support), gooses his neck (encouragment), and wears a white suit to show he's the good guy. But the movie isn't about Elle and Emmett, its about Elle and the producers were correct to place Wilson in this role to prevent a real actor from drawing attention away from Witherspoon.
Despite these flaws, this is Witherspoon's movie and its worth 90 minutes of your time. Sit back, relax and just try not to think too hard.
Movie Review: Funny and Clever! One of my favorite movies!
Summary: 5 Stars
'Legally Blonde' is a hilarious and clever comedy. It is the story of a young sorority girl named Elle Woods. The movie begins to the song "Perfect Day" which really sets the mood. Elle is going out with a handsome, smart guy named Warner Huntington. Thinking he is going to propose to her, she buys a 'perfect' dress and meets him at the fancy restuarant he is taking her to, only to find out he is dumping her because he is going to Harvard Law School and wants to start a more serious life. Elle is heartbroken and devastated, so when she reads about a woman who is more Warner's 'serious type', she decides she is going to go to Harvard to so she can win him back!
I'm not going to give away all the good parts, but I must tell you, if you are wanting to get a fresh, funny, and totally blonde kind of movie, RENT (if you have not seen it yet) OR BUY THIS! You will laugh and if your a sensitive kind of person maybe even cry too. The acting is great, although I think the Warner guy could have done better. But Reese Witherspoon, being the great actress she is, totally makes this movie totally perfect!
If your a girl between the ages of 13 and up, you'll definitely love this. It's a really girly, chick flick type movie basically about a girl who goes very far for her man. Guys, on the other hand, well, if your a really tough type, you probably won't be that interested. :). It's a five star movie and one of my faves (I'm 13). You need to see it!
