Our take on Legally Blonde

Robert Luketic's 2001 comedy follows fashionable sorority queen Elle Woods, who has everything but the fiancé she wants. When her boyfriend dumps her before heading to Harvard Law, she marshals all her resources, gets accepted herself, and sets out to win him back, only to discover there's far more to her than her looks. Bright, quick and unapologetically pink, it champions underestimated women and turning a snap judgment on its head. It suits viewers after a feel-good comedy with heart and a genuinely likable lead. If you enjoy fish-out-of-water humor and an empowering, breezy tone, Legally Blonde delivers exactly what it promises. Come for the charm and the confidence rather than any grand realism.
