Plot Summary
Reese Witherspoon stars in this romantic comedy, the feature film debut of award-winning Australian director Robert Luketic. As a ravishing Miss Hawaiian Tropic, sorority president, and calendar girl, Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is a big hit on the campus of her sun-drenched Los Angeles college. She's also got the perfect boyfriend in Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis), a wealthy East Coast blue blood. Fearing that his snooty friends and family will never accept the bubble-headed Elle, however, Warner dumps her before heading off to graduate law school at Harvard University. Determined to win back her man, Elle enrolls in the same imposing institution, quickly becoming an object of scorn and ridicule, especially to Warner's old prep school flame (Selma Blair). Despite her penchant for malls, makeup, and tanning, Elle is no dummy and is soon showing elite Ivy League snobs a thing or two about class, self-confidence, and courtroom victory.

Fresh: As an actor of distinction who's all of 25, Reese Witherspoon reveals interesting dark roots even as she plays golden girls.
Rotten: Starts heading nowhere after the first half-hour, and careers and flounders badly until it gets there.
Fresh: It's a formula that's well done here with plenty of laughs.
Fresh: Ms. Witherspoon won me over right from the start.
Customer Reviews
AMAZING AND SUPER HILARIOUS!
Resee Witherspoon is excellent as Elle Woods. The character has that essence of funny but not every minute funny. She has brains and wit. Resee is pitch perfect as Wood's. The cast that includes Jennifer Coolidge <the manicurist>, Luke Wilson <the new guy>, Selma Blair <the evil girl>, Matthew Davis <the ex that she still loves>, Ali Larter <the convict>, and Victor Garber <the big shot who pulls a move on Elle>. The cast is hilarious and the plot is very suprising! A MIX OF LAW AND SORITIES! VOTE "AGREE" IF U LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!
Whoever said orange was the new pink..was seriously disturbed
Legally Blonde is funny, original, and awesomely smart. It made me want to become a lawyer, and really shows people that they can do anything they set their mind to. The characters are loveable, and the wardrobe is fantastic! I couldn't be happier that iTunes FINALLY made this amazing movie avilable. If you don't already have it, buy it today!
