Pros: Funny movie, that just borders on believability Cons: The ending is kind of hard to swallow...
I really liked this movie. Its not the kind of movie I'd buy on DVD or anything, but its definitely entertaining. Its a nice "light" movie to go see if you need to escape for a while and laugh. Yes some of the plot is a bit of a cliche, but how many...

Pros: Provides a good role model, gives the message to not 'give up'. Cons: Far fetched, unrealistic.
This is a movie that keeps your interest from beginning to end, it is a much better movie than the title eludes to. It talks about matters of dating, how not to act, how to keep your integrity intact. It provides a good platform to base friendships and...

Pros: I loved the spontinaity of the actors Cons: I couldn't find a single thing wrong with the movie
I am a blonde and have been teased my whole like - this movie put a little perspective into the intelligence of blondes as a whole and was inspiring too! I feel that looks mean nothing and it's what's on the inside that counts. Didn't your mother...

Pros: Most of the girls are pretty cute Cons: It's definitly a chick flick
Let me start out by saying I usually like most movies, so this says something if I don't like it.
If you are just starving to see a movie and don't care what, then go to see this. It has a great plot, and many funny situations, but mostly it...

Pros: Pure escapism and many quotable quotes!
Pace is good, never bored. Cons: Story line is preposterous, cliched, stereotyped--but who cares, it is funny!
After a bad day/week--this is the movie that you want to see. The laughs are continuous and that is considering the cliched plotline. The dog, Bruiser, is as entertaining as the human characters. Supporting characters are good and take a healthy swipe...

Pros: Ummm... Cons: Let's see...
To start off, this movie was pathetic. Reese Witherspoon acted so hard in the film that you could tell she was acting. When you see a movie, you are supposed to be drawn into the plot and believe the characters and everything in the movie is real. I...

Pros: a ton Cons: not that many surprisingly
So yeah...I went and saw this movie with a few of my friends thinking that it would be one of those no brainer movies. Where you watch it and dont have to really think or try and "uncover" different endings. Boy was I wrong. This movie had a very good...

Pros: Fresh, flirty and good clean fun Cons: Very unbelievable, very cliche
Legally Blonde is "mind candy" to movies like romance novels are to readers - takes no brain power and sometimes it makes you smile. This is a story about a young lady who is very intelligent but has a Hollywood movie star image who is dumped by her...

Pros: Has a good message to other girls Cons: Predictable
I had heard many good things about the movie, "Legally Blonde" but I couldn't help but think how ridiculous this movie was going to be since it was about ditzy blondes. I was completely wrong. The movie wasn't based at all on the fact that blondes are...

Pros: It showed that even dumb blondes are smart enough to go to law school. Cons: Can we say........Clueless part 2!?
Legally Dumb, oh I mean Blonde was as dumb as to be expected. You take a sorority girl from L.A. and you put her in Harvard Law School...........yes it could happen, but not likely. I am not doubting the intelligence of anyone, I do know some "sisters"...

Legally Blonde (Express Review)
by WilliamJones - Top 1000,Apr 19 '07
Pros: Reese Witherspoon, clothing, amusing details. Cons: A scented, pink resume can take you only so far.
With her Fashion Merchandising major and homecoming queen credentials, a southern California sorority president (Reese Witherspoon) applies for Harvard Law School with the intention of winning back an ex-boyfriend in the comedy confection Legally Blonde. Once accepted ("What, like it's hard?"), she lands on campus, pet Chihuahua in tow, only to discover it's not quite what she expected. Shunned, everyone is, like, totally mean to her. Her first class, too, does not go well when, unprepared, she's asked to leave (cf. Timothy Bottoms in The Paper Chase). Our blond Barbie, however, is not one to shrink in the face of adversity. While some of the details are, no doubt, amusing (the bikini-clad videotaped admissions essay springs to mind), much of it is awfully hard to swallow, although you're free to try. Given the possibility that a first-year law student could assume the role of an attorney in a bona fide criminal trial, are we also to believe, for example, open seating would exist at such a venue? Given what we know about high-profile celebrity trials? What are the odds? With Luke Wilson, Matthew Davis, Selma Blair, Holland Taylor and Raquel Welch. Directed by first-timer Robert Luketic.

Definitely better than I thought it'd be
by JoRenae ,May 17 '04
Pros: It has a great message. Don't worry about what others thinks...just be yourself. Cons: Nothing
Ok, here's the thing. Yes, I've just now seen this movie. Why? I basically thought it'd be stupid. For some odd reason my husband, yes you read correctly, rented it while I was gone and told me that it was a really good movie. For the longest time HE had even thought it'd be stupid. I mean, come on, a dingy blonde as the main character? haha
Anyway, I just got done watching it and really liked it. I thought the storyline was great. Basically this girl gets dumped by a 'perfect' guy because she's not the proper girl to bring home to his parents. He's in law school so she gets this idea to get into law school(yes, a dingy blonde who is smart...whuda thunk huh?). She thinks that by proving she's good enough he'll end up taking her back etc. She REALLY loved him! Anyway, he's already engaged to someone else...that someone doesn't like her. She ends up realizing that she didn't need him, goes through law school and ends up with someone even better than that guy. I'll leave the rest for you to find out when you watch it. *smile*

Legally Blonde...
by angeline1983 ,Mar 20 '05
Pros: Plot, characters, goes through several emotions. Cons: Need more info. on where to buy products from the movies wardrobe... :-(
A brand new classic. I absolutely love this movie which allows women to embrace their beauty-loving femininity. But not only is this movie complete eye-candy, it also teaches wonderful messages about kindness, confidence, pursuing and achieving your goals. I am proud to show this movie to my daughters.
Reese created a wonderful character. She is Elle Woods.
The casting in this movie is really important and is excellently done. The supporting characters are great.
Elle Woods discovers she can step outside of the molded-role she has always filled to become even more and achieve more than others or maybe even she thought.
