Pros: Celebrates being feminine and chic. Cons: Lots and lots of pink.
"Legally Blonde" is a light comedy that's perfect for an afternoon retreat from the summer heat. I expected it to be a diatribe against dumb blonde stereotyping, but it's more than that. The movie cleverly manages to validate feminine perspectives. I...

Pros: A comedy way too lame for the talents of Reese Witherspoon.
Cons: A comedy way too lame for the talents of Reese Witherspoon.
From the moment you see our heroine Elle's name spelled out in spangles, it's hard not to think of “Clueless,” whose lead character was called Cher. In “Legally Blonde,” the Southern California landscape of giggling, yellow-maned Rodeo Drive shoppers and...

Pros: Nice performance by Witherspoon, some good and funny moments. Cons: Not what you'd call unpredictable
Here's a lesson for Hollywood about how movie dollars get spent.
It was a rainy weekday afternoon, and I decided to go to the movies. There were no obvious choices at the nearby multiplex, so I opted to roll the dice in a manner of speaking. I...

Pros: Entertaining albeit mindless at times; Reese Witherspoon's funniest role since "Election" Cons: Typical stereotypes, e.g., "men only want one thing", gorgeous blondes only want money
All the trailers leading up to the start of Legally Blonde were for, duh, teen flicks....was I surprised? No. Considering that teens will often will go to a film they like over and over again (as my teenaged nephew will attest to), it's no wonder that...

Pros: surprisingly intelligent, funny, full of surprises, overall outstanding movie Cons: REESE WITHERSPOON'S STUPID POINTY CHIN!!!!!! It drives me up the wall!!!!
HOLLYWOOD GOT ONE RIGHT!!!!!!
I'm telling you people, I walked out of that theater STUNNED! I've worked about 180 hours the last 3 weeks and I specifically chose this movie to go see last night because I thought it would be a low-grade humor...

Pros: Light, sweet, cliched, and thoroughly enjoyable. Cons: A better title would have been "Clueless 2."
Well, hooray. Finally, summer has brought us a movie that allows you to leave the theater with something resembling a smile on your face. When the temp is 90 degrees, I want to go to the movies to sit in the air conditioning and not think, and not cry,...

Pros: Whitherspoon Cons: The jokes get less and less as the movie reaches it's climax.
Finally, movie about dumb blondes. The country has been calling for this ever since that first dumb blonde joke was told.
Meet Elle Woods (Witherspoon). She is the country's classic "dumb blonde." She attends beauty school where she has a 4.0 GPA...

Pros: Reese Witherspoon really shines Cons: Very unrealistic
Legally Blonde is about a cute blonde who's snooty boyfriend dumps her because she isn't the kind of girl a future graduate of Harvard law should marry. To try and win him back (as well as show him up), she meets the minimum requirements to enter...

Pros: A fun movie, Great acting, a feel good ending. Cons: nothing
Did you see the movie Clueless? Did you like it? If so you will enjoy this movie as well. It reminds me of what would happen if there was a sequel made to the movie Clueless and we saw the characters all grown up in college. This is a fun movie with...

Pros: A cute and funny comedy for the entire family to watch. Cons: If you don't have a good humor, you might sit throught it's entirety bored.
So I guess you heard about the new blonde valley girl in Harvard, huh! With a 4.0 in fashion, the credentials of being president of her sorority and Miss June in her campus calendar, plus video representation in a pool about how good of a student she...

Pros: Reese Witherspoon Cons: Quite predictable
Reese Witherspoon is an outstanding actress, particularly for such a young woman. Tonight was video night because our family was ready for a much needed break and this was a very funny movie. I couldn't stop laughing and thoroughly enjoyed Ms....

Pros: Entertaining, cute, girls win Cons: Welll...they say all things are possible
Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde is believably beautiful and unbelievably brilliant. Who cares, it’s fun and the girls win. Dumped unexpectedly at dinner by Warner Huntington II when she expected to be asked to marry him, he callously...

by Alena - Top 1000, Jul 27 '01
Pros: Reese Witherspoon plays this type character to the hilt. Cons: somewhat weak story line
Being a blonde myself, I have set through many a blonde joke poking fun at the IQ, I am not supposed to have. With that in mind, I had no intention of setting through this expensive and elaborate blonde joke, but I let a friend of mine talk me into it....

by ragdoll21 , Nov 19 '01
Pros: over-the-top, campy, 'smart' hilarity Cons: none
Take the appealing charm of spritish Reese Witherspoon, lingo culled from the film "Clueless" which this film is reminiscent of, throw in a script that is pro-women and anti-jerkballs, and you get 96 minutes of great entertainment aimed at the teen-adult...

by sussmanbern , Nov 25 '01
Pros: Good acting, plot, production values. Cons: Not a lot of room for further development.
LEGALLY BLONDE begins as an anti-feminist cliche and ends up as (well, almost as) a feminist parable. Gorgeous blonde Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is the enormous popular and even beloved president of her UCLA sorority, Delta Nu, where she is...
