The acting in this movie is really good.
Have you ever heard about the movie Legally Blonde? Well, I have certainly heard about it, but I just never watched it. That changed last night. I was a kind of tired and it didn't seem like a hard to watch movie. So I decided to put on Legally Blonde.In the beginning you just get to know the character (Elle Woods) a little more. Everything is going wrong (of course), because her boyfriend wants to break up. He thinks Elle is too immature for him, if he ever wants to be a successful lawyer. She wants to prove the opposite to him and decides to go to Harvard Law School all of a sudden. You can imagine that not everything is going as planned for Elle, but will she make up for it?In my opinion this movie is a feelgood movie. You don't really have to think during the movie, you can just sit back. Some scenes in the movie are too crazy to imagine that something like that will ever happen to you, but I think this makes it really fun to watch. Moreover, because you can sit back and relax, you will feel compassion for the main character during the movie. On the other hand you can predict most of the movie, because most of the events you've seen in dozen of the movies. There is not really an element of surprise in the film and I think that's a pity. Overall I really liked watching this movie and I would recommend it, because it will really gives you a happy feeling and it is quite funny.
Witherspoon's role as Elle Woods seems like it was made for her. She emanated the rich spoiled girl, an over-achiever, a go-getter but dumb. Or so everyone thinks.This is a perfect feel-good movie that should be seen by teens to let them know that it's not too late to reach their potential if they put their mind into it.But then again, only if you have the beauty, the money, the luck, and connections. Huh. What do you know. I just contradicted myself.Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie. :)
I can see why this film is popular, especially with women. It's essentially the film version of the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".It's an OK film, rather than a spectacular one. Without Reese Witherspoon's considerable charm it wouldn't be half as good, because she really carries it.It has it's moments, but is not a film that I can imagine myself going back and watching time and time again. It is passable entertainment at best, but won't go down as being a classic by any stretch of the imagination.
Under the impression that she is soon to be betrothed, "Elle Woods" (Reese Witherspoon) is heartbroken when her boyfriend ends the relationship because he is headed for Harvard and wants someone who is more intelligent and serious than her. So to prove to him that she is the serious person he is seeking she decides to apply for the Harvard Law School--and somehow gets accepted. As a result the bubbly--but rather protected and naive--social debutante from Bel Air finds herself like a fish out of water among highly competitive--but extremely snobby--students and needs to find a way to succeed in a world that she is not accustomed to. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that despite being somewhat predictable and full of clichés, this film still managed to be funny in its own unique way with Reese Witherspoon being tailor-made for her particular role. In short, while it may not be the best comedy ever made it was still entertaining enough and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
