Ms. Witherspoon won me over right from the start.
It's a formula that's well done here with plenty of laughs.
They've devised a potentially rich premise, only to play it safe, smoothing off every sharp edge and dumbing down any acerbic point.
As an actor of distinction who's all of 25, Reese Witherspoon reveals interesting dark roots even as she plays golden girls.
Starts heading nowhere after the first half-hour, and careers and flounders badly until it gets there.
Really nothing more than Clueless redux but without the edgy, knowing wit.
Audience Reviews for Legally Blonde
Loved the ending. The rest of the movie seemed very corny but enjoyable at the same time. Does have few funny and embarrassing moments.
Super Reviewer
Reese is so cool. Barbie meets LA Law! Elle wants to marry Warner but gets dumped as he wants a serious girlfriend. He gets to Harvard and she is hot on his trail. Dog in tow.
Super Reviewer
Pretty sure I was dragged into seeing this with my mom, not really my cup of tea. For what it is though, it is a clever and somewhat funny movie.
