Advantages: Feel Good Factor, Morals

Disadvantages: none

Saturday night 8 o'clock, kids in bed, absolute tosh on the telly ('til 10 o'clock when Big Brother live task is on...!) Legally Blonde DVD is still wrapped in it's cellophane (we won it about 2 months ago) gathering dust amongst other articles of little interest. Why? Because it didn't really appeal to either of us. Pink and pretty, dizzy blonde film isn't it? Well nothing else on so let's give it a go.

1 hour and 45 minutes later, my opinion has seriously changed, a brilliant fast moving comedy, with bucket loads of the feel good factor.

The plot: Elle Wood, (Reese Witherspoon) classic American Barbie, a Fashion Major, coupled with classic American hunk Warner Huntingdon III (Matthew Davis) as the dream couple. She thinks he's about to propose, he dumps her as he needs to take his future seriously, considering he's about to enter Harvard Law School.

Elle takes the news badly, however decides that she can get into Harvard, if that's the type of woman Warner wants.

So with the comedy running fast and furiously Elle lauches her new academic career with enthusiasm, and succeeds!

No spoilers here, but it is an uncomplicated story, without the dumb blonde factor being played to a derogatory tone. Elle is portrayed as a genuinely nice person up against several breeds of intellectual bias, however she has the self confidence and the brain to outwit most of them, with support coming from the most unexpected quarters.

This movie will be up there with Bridget Jones for me, but it has a little more substance than your average chick flick.
