QUICK, SLICK CHICK-FLICK KICKS Favorite Movie Quote: "What!!?? You wanna break up with me 'cause my boobs are too big!!??" JUST BEND.....AND SNAP!!....BEND.....AND SNAP!! Oh, no! Not another 'Dumb Blonde' Flick! Even before I sat down to watch LEGALLY BLONDE I had solemnly sworn to myself that I was going to hate this flick as far as the law would allow. Yeah. I was gonna put this piece of dumb-ass trash straight through the movie meat-grinder at least a dozen times. I mean, what the hell did I care about some poor, snot-nosed, little, rich girl and all her empty-headed, bubble-brained, bleached blonde troubles? Nothing! Nothing, at all. That's what! Uh.....Believe it or not, I can be a real stubborn, old fart about matters such as forming a negative, preconceived opinion about a flick, especially a chick-flick, long before I've actually seen the blasted thing. Well, as the story goes..........After just 5 minutes into viewing LEGALLY BLONDE my attitude completely changed. It was a movie-miracle! It really was! LEGALLY BLONDE's story follows the often amusing (sometimes not) adventures of the ever-flighty, but always up-to-date and, yes, even resourceful, Miss-Fashion-Degree, herself, Elle Wood (played wonderfully by REESE WITHERSPOON). Elle and her, bug-eyed, pet chihuahua, Bruiser are inseperable buddies. In a blind, desperate attempt to foolishly win back the love of her life, Warner Huntington lll, the jerk (Elle doesn't realize it, yet) that dumped her, she crams like crazy and successfully gets herself accepted into Harvard Law School where this cad, Warner, is also attending courses. Early, before semester starts, Elle and Bruiser drive away from their ultra-comfortable surroundings amongst all the mammoth mansions of ritzy-schmitzy Beverly Hills. And, it's good-bye to flaky friends and the filthy-rich family, too. Oh, Boo-Hoo. How sad! Full of determination and high hopes, Elle, and, yes, Bruiser, journey to the unbelievably awkward and foreign environment of preppy, turtle-neck sweatered snobs and Ivy League Scholars at Harvard Law School. Within Elle's first few months of being snubbed and definitely not fitting in with the stuffy Harvard Set, a significant change, for the better, begins to take over her.....She actually 'grows up'. A tough move for a blonde. Out of sheer loneliness and the need for companionship (Sorry, but Bruiser just ain't enough), Elle developes a warm-hearted friendship with a kooky, introverted manicurist. Elle soon learns a few hard, eye-opening lessons about life in the real world of Harvard Law. She quickly finds out that, sure enough, sexism is still alive and well amongst the old-school thinkers of male lawyer wannabes. Here at Harvard chauvanist pigs, and piglets, continue to view their female counterparts as vastly inferior to themselves and, of course, expect them to be easily accessible as sex-objects. Still a somewhat naive, young woman, Elle almost becomes a victim of this Ivy League bull, herself. But Elle is a fighter. And Elle is a winner. And, yes, underneath the big boobs, the nice buns, and the blonde mane of hair, Elle has brains, too. She does. And she proves, without a doubt, that she knows how to use them, too. Indeed. Lawyer, or not. And it's 'Good-Bye', Warner Huntington lll. With LEGALLY BLONDE it's defintely well within the law to laugh. email this review to a friend
