Legally Blonde: stereotypically funny

"You're breaking up with me because I'm too... blonde"

Blondes everywhere, REJOICE!! Elle (Witherspoon) is a ditzy college girl who is waiting for her hunky boyfriend Warner (Davis) to propose. He takes her out to dinner, and calmly explains that they are breaking up because he needs a serious girlfriend, i.e. someone his family doesn't think is a complete waste of time. Heartbroken and confused (about Warner's grandmother "She loves me, she said I looked like Brittany Spears. Why would you say that to someone you didn't like?") Elle decides to win him back by going to Harvard as a "serious lawstudent". Her first day of classes she is mocked multiple times by her classmates and professors. After class she discovers her main tormentor is now engaged to Warner. After careful contemplation, and some major girl talk at the local beauty parlor, she decides to continue her studies at Harvard to show Warner she is serious. Over the course of her studies, and with some supportive new friends Elle finds a passion for law.

Interesting things:
1. character progression (bubbly airhead, to brainy beauty, to confident cutie...yes, i like alliteration): you truly believe she is changing (but are her reasons sound?)
2. colors (in L.A. everyone wears bright colors and is happy...at Harvard Elle stands out b/c everyone else is in drab boring colors. As she takes her law career seriously her colors fade to black and gray, especially when she joins the court case...but in the end she returns to her "signature color" of bright pink and combines her newfound wisdom with some old girl info)
3. was based off a book by Amanda Brown (apparently there is no Emmet...pity)
4. the final graduation scene was filmed 2 years after the rest of the film (Witherspoon and Wilson are wearing wigs b/c they changed hairstyles for other films).

Overall i love this film, it has Reese Witherspoon and Luke Wilson, she wears a lot of pink, and its all about beautiful blondes...what more could it have?
