  Reese is so cool. Barbie meets LA Law! Elle wants to marry Warner but gets dumped as he wants a serious girlfriend. He gets to Harvard and she is hot on his trail. Dog in tow.

  Pretty sure I was dragged into seeing this with my mom, not really my cup of tea. For what it is though, it is a clever and somewhat funny movie.

  Finally got around to a rewatch of this. This is one of those films I loved at the time, but a dodgy sequel, followed by a third, even worse one had dulled the memory of the original. I haven't watched this one in about three years, and I wondered if there would ever come the day I would want to watch it again, but the day came! I was amazed again by how good this movie actually was - this is for sure a superior chick flick. Reese is perfectly cast as fluffy Elle who is as bright as she is ditzy. You can not help but like her and darned if I didn't find the ending moving! A great message to this movie about strength and using your brain and there is more to life than men (especially one who doesn't deserve you!). There is still a romantic side to this, Elle does meet a nice guy by the end and Warner gets the boot for once and for all from both the ladies in his life! Added to this, I loved Reese's hair all through this and all the clothes! I guess the one small cringe moment is the "bend and snap", but it's a small gripe in an otherwise feel good and inspiring movie. There are certainly worse ones for young girls to watch! (and slightly older ones. haha).

  Maybe a little to cheesy for my taste, but I laughed a couple of times, but still crap.

  This movie is so cute,and Reese Witherspoon is so hillarious.If you like comedies you'll love this movie!!! :) :) :) :)

  This film was okay. It had some really great parts but had some really bad parts. It is worth a one time watch but I don't know why this is considered such a classic that has spawned it's own broadway musical.

  Loved the ending. The rest of the movie seemed very corny but enjoyable at the same time. Does have few funny and embarrassing moments.

  Not bad. Good for laughs. Witherspoon is a blond having more fun and ends up being likable.

  Sweet little piece of Saturday-night escapism. Reese Witherspoon hits the comedic notes, but I particularly dig the one dramatic moment at the law school party. After Warner benignly suggests that Elle stick to fashion marketing, Reese steps back - her big, blue eyes glazing over, a half-smile tugging wistfully at one corner of her lips, her Playboy bunny ears, slightly less perky than before - and says, "I'm never gonna be good enough for you, am I?" Like totally.

  what the hell did I just watch. D

• Anthony L

  
  No one was surprised as much as me when I actually quite enjoyed this Reese Witherspoon vehicle. It?s actually quite funny!

• Thomas B

  
  it's okay for a few laughs

• Film C

  
  Well whats not to like about this hilarious cute silly movie that just leaves you with a smile on your face! Witherspoon is fantastic in this role as a dumb witted blonde who goes to harvard! Really worth a watch a great fun movie!!

• Jennifer D

  
  Really quite good for a comedy.

• Dean !

  
  A reasonably funny comedy but more of a chick flick. Very similar to the Clueless TV series.

  I always wanted to see this movie since knowing that Reese Witherspoon playing in this movie... The movie itself really fun, Reese really looks like that she's having fun in this movie... The story, from a blonde wanting to become a lawyer, just look simple and ordinary, but it still looks funny... Great to combine the story between the law school with a beauty school, it looks great and really fun... And the soundtrack was really nice too...

• Sophie B

  
  I actually LOVE this movie! It's really inspirational and lets you know you can do anything you want. Such a good chick flick. Reese is awesome too.

  I missed the last half hour. But did I really miss something ? Nahhh.

  <b><u>Directed by:</u> Robert Luketic.</b> <b><u>Starring:</u> Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, Selma Blair, Matthew Davis, Victor Garber, Jennifer Coolidge.</b> You could very easily say before you even see this, that you know what to expect and in some ways you are right.... The film is extremely formulaic, the characters are portrayed as stereotypes and it is all extremely cliched....but the film turns out to be a surprise. What does help make the film shine is Reese Witherspoon's perfect performance. She shows her great range as an actress, perfectly fitting into her role and managing to be so sweet and lovable, as well as being smart and stupid, nicely balancing on each other. The film also has some surprisingly funny one liners as well as a message that comes across during the film, one that is overused so much in unoriginal films nowadays....but it manages to work. Its definitely a film made to be watched on a Sunday afternoon, but you will be surprised.
