Legally Blonde (DVD) ... released 06 November, 2001 at MGM / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Colour, Dolby, DVD-Video, Full Screen, Widescreen, NTSC / An extraordinary comic performance from Reese Witherspoon makes Legally Blonde a winner. Witherspoon’s Elle is a ditzy blonde forced by circumstances to metamorphose into a strong-minded and academic lawyer, without losing her strong sense of self in the process. After majoring in fashion sales, she applies to Harvard Law School to pursue the boy who jilted her, and discovers that she is smart as well as beautiful. Much of this is standard fish-out-of-water fare, with drab "intellectuals" snubbing the colourful and well-meaning Elle. Yet feminists will be disconcerted to discover that, apparently, a life of manicures and accessorising will teach you as much about female solidarity as decades of consciousness-raising! Recruited to the defence team of a fitness guru, she takes the defendant’s innocence for granted rather than feeling superior to her. Gradually, she and her ex's new fiancée build a fragile friendship that matters to both of them; Selma Blair is excellent as the snobbish vulnerable Vivienne. It might be a predictable self-help fairytale, but it’s also well-observed, cute and funny. On the DVD: the DVD is presented in 1.78:1 ratio with 5.1 Dolby digital sound as standard. The disc also comes with a wealth of features, including a documentary on the film's obsession with hairstyles--outlining the struggle to keep its heroine bleach blonde from day to day--and a bubbly commentary from Witherspoon and director Robert Luketic. There are also promos, a theatrical trailer and an optional trivia track. --Roz Kaveney

On top of this, she's having trouble fitting it at Harvard. Everybody seems to have these preconceived ideas about her being a dumb blonde and treat her as such. After a lot of hard work, she manages to impress her Professor so much that Elle, Warner and along with three other students, she is taken on as an intern on a big murder ca...more

Legally Blonde is a comedy film that was released in 2001 and is based on the book of the same name by Amanda Brown. It is rated 12 due to mild sexual references, some minor bad language and some very mild comedy violence and the film is 96 minutes long. The film was a huge financial success, making nearly $142 million with only an $18 million budget. Plot Elle Woods is blonde, beautiful and popular with a rich, gorgeous boyfriend, Warner Huntington III, to boot. She is also the president of her sorority and life is fabulous for her, she even thinks Warner is going to propose that evening. He, however, has other ideas. Warner is set on Law school and ...  Read the complete review

Film review only If you want some real girly fun then this film is a sure thing! Reese Witherspoon is Elle Woods. She's blonde, popular and just a little bit ditsy. She has a gorgeous boyfriend called Warner and everyone is expecting him to propose to Elle as graduation is very close. On a romantic date Elle is expecting him to pop the question when he says he's dumping her as he's heading off to law school and needs to make a fresh start. Elle is devastated and feels like her whole world just fell apart. Being the naïve girl with the big heart Elle believes she can win Warner back if she heads off to Harvard Law herself and becomes the person he ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Boldly going where no blonde has gone before! (547 words)

Rating:

Legally Blonde is a highly ridiculous but, in my opinion, thoroughly enjoyable 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon (Just Like Heaven, Walk the Line) alongside Luke Owen (Old School, The Family Stone) and Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions, The Sweetest Thing). The running time is 92mins. The storyline is based around Elle Woods (Witherspoon) - a beautiful, blonde and extremely popular sorority girl who is dating Warner Huntington III (played by Matthew Davis). Warner is about to go to Harvard Law School and has the utlimate ambition of becoming a Senator, this results in his decision to finish his relationship with Elle as he needs to "marry a Jackie, not a ...  Read the complete review

I have said before that when it comes to TV and films, I tend to like things that are light and fluffy - I don't like to see anything full of death or destruction, as to me that's not entertainment. This may go some way to explaining why Legally Blonde is one of my favourite films! ~The Story~ Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is beautiful, blonde-haired and head of her sorority Delta Nu. I think it's fair to say that Elle is a very girly girl, always dressed in pink, and paying a lot of attention to her hair and nails, and has that must-have accessory for any fashion conscious young girl - a pet Chihuahua named Bruiser. Elle is dating ...  Read the complete review
