Saturday Matinee – Legally Blonde!

Have you seen this movie? If so, did you think it was funny?

Legally Blonde is a funny movie and I really enjoyed seeing it again! I saw it in the theater when it first came out several years ago, and I happened to catch it on Oxygen channel last Sunday. Elle is a vibrant, blonde, fun-loving, and popular president of her sorority. She gives great advice about fashion and makeup to her sorority sisters, plus, she’s a fashion major with a 4.0 GPA. Her and her sorority sisters are eagerly anticipating Elle’s rich, handsome boyfriend, Warner, will propose to her soon. However, Elle is devestated when Warner breaks up with her – after all, she’s not the best girlfriend material because she’s not serious or smart enough to be a part of his family.

Warner is headed off to Harvard Law School and Elle is determined to get into that same school to win him back! She comically goes through the admission process and passes her LSAT and is admitted into Harvard!

Her entrance onto the campus is so comical – it’s so funny to see the reactions of her fellow students. A series of events happens once she’s in her classes, plus, she’s upset to discover that Warner is now engaged to a frigid, cold-hearted woman named Vivian. Can Elle still win him back?

This movie was laugh-out-loud funny in so many ways. I think I liked it so much becaus the character of Elle was so striking. You have the contrast of the flighty, rich, pampered blonde trying to fit in with the serious, studious grad school crowd. Also, Elle is very compassionate. She befriends her nail technician, helping her to re-gain custody of her dog. You also see Elle in the courtroom, helping to win the murder case of one of her sorority sisters.

Legally Blonde was a treat to watch, and if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend that you watch it.

So, have you seen this movie before? If so, what do you remember about it?
