DVD Reviews of Legally BlondeDVD Review: Only in Hollywood!! Summary: 3 StarsA bimbo becoming a top lawyer: that's the premise here and a winsome Reese Witherspoon pulls it off in a charming way, which she would have to do to make this ludicrous story watchable.
It's a bit on the feminist side with most men pictured as shallow but there are women pictured the same, too. In an era PC baloney, at least this film pokes fun at everyone, not just select groups.
Witherspoon and Luke Wilson both play good, nice people and it's nice to see a Wilson brother NOT playing someone stupid. There are stupid parts in here, but you get that in any comedy. There are also some very clever lines in there, too, but overall it's pretty low-brained material.....just played for fun. It would have been more innocent without a needless off-key or profane remark here and there.
DVD Review: Cute But Take It With an Ocean of Salt Summary: 3 StarsOnly someone as gifted as Reese Witherspoon could pull off this adorable but ludicrous fantasy movie. Fantasy is what it is, and that's ALL that it is. There are definitely some funny scenes and it's diverting. The idea that it presents a good message for girls about working to achieve goals and being true to yourself, though . . . I have to warn you, girls in our daughter's high school were saying they wanted to be lawyers because this movie made a legal career seem fun and glamorous and exciting. Our daughter told them, "Are you crazy? My parents are lawyers. I KNOW better." I suppose at some sad level, being inspired to attend law school by Elle Woods is no more naive than being inspired to attend law school by Atticus Finch, but at least Atticus Finch lost his big case. Don't be fooled. Even if you enjoy the intellectual challenge and have pleasant colleagues and are lucky enough to handle an occasional case that affects public policy or helps someone with a problem, law is mostly a lot of hard work under mountains of paper with cases dragging on for months or years and ending in settlements where justice is neither entirely served nor entirely undermined. That's assuming you don't do family law which is truly from hell. Unless you're at the very top of the food chain, it's not even all that remunerative. The lawyers who make the most money usually represent the most unsavory clients. Lawyers have very high rates of depression and substance abuse compared to the general population. And nobody wears hot pink suits with stilettos and accessory dogs to court. So have fun, laugh, enjoy the talented cast, but please don't base a career decision on this movie.
DVD Review: a great movie Summary: 5 Starsthis is a great movie. it has a good message too. elle is dumped by her boyfriend because he wants someone better and to try to win him back, she decides to go to law school. she has a hard time fitting in and struggles at first, but she gets the hang of it, proving she is not a dumb blonde. she almost gives up, but she decides to keep going. i love that scene in the court room where she wins the murder case. warren realizes that she is good enough for him, but he is not good enough for her! karma is a pain in the butt, isn't warren? the acting was great in this film, reese witherspoon was funny in this movie and proves again what a talented actor she is. her character is likable through out the entire movie and you find yourself rooting for her character. and one of the things i like about this movie is that it helps show you that you can do anything if you believe in yourself.
DVD Review: Happy people don't kill their husbands, they just don't. Summary: 4 StarsElle Woods(Reese Witherspoon) is young, blonde, beautiful and the president of Delta Nu Sorority, she has a hunky boyfriend Warner(Matthew Davis) and everything in her life seems pretty perfect.
That is until Warner dumps her for being too much of a marilyn, and not enough of a Jackie on the night Elle believes Warner will propose!
How dare he say Elle wasn't smart?! Now Elle is determined to go to Harvard to study Law(where Warner just happens to be going) to win her man back!
With the help of her sorority sisters, her dog bruiser and some well timed mani-pedis Elle gets into harvard, but it will take a lot more then just that to get her through difficult classes, snotty teachers, and the biggest obstacle, Warner's new fiance Vivian(Selma Blair).
Elle even gets one of four internship spots at an elite law firm for a big case, involving a fellow Delta Nu! She even gets to work with Emmett(Luke Wilson) a sweet and mature advisor on the case.
It may not be the most realistic story, but who says a blonde sorority girl can't be smart! Elle is strong, motivated and Reese brings her to life impeccably. She sends us all a great message to be yourself, and never settle for something that doesn't love you as much as you love it.
"But if I'm going to be a partner in a law firm by the time I'm 30, I need a boyfriend who's not such a complete bonehead." (Sorry Warner!)
DVD Review: I have a problem Summary: 1 StarsWhen i put the cd, my dvd and all my friends dvds said, error region, i dont now what they mean, i nead asistance
Description of Legally BlondeShe's a California sorority girl who'll do anything to keep her man. Even if it means going all theway'to law school! Reese Witherspoon (Election) stars with Luke Wilson (Charlie's Angels), Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions), Matthew Davis (Pearl Harbor) and Victor Garber (Titanic) in a knock-out comedy with a heart of goldand hair to match! Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is a California blonde with couture clothes, fabulous friends and the hottest boyfriend on campus. So when Warner Huntington III (Davis) suddenly dumps her and heads for Harvard Law School, Elletakes matters into her own perfectly manicured hands. She enrolls too! Now getting Warner back should be a snap, right? Wrong! Elle's about to begin the toughest fight of her lifefor love, honor, justice and respect for blondes everywhere! If you've ever doubted how much a star can carry a movie, look no further than Legally Blonde, Robert Luketic's pop fluff about a sorority girl who becomes the reigning brain at Harvard Law School. The film tries way too hard to be pop fluff, but thankfully it also understands the comic glories of Reese Witherspoon. As Elle Woods, the supposedly dimwitted heroine, Witherspoon gives a high-wattage performance that somehow comes across as both lusciously cartoonish and warmly human. It's a radiant comic turn worthy of Marilyn Monroe, and Luketic throws the whole movie at her, even though its intentional kitsch and sledgehammer contrivances don't trust you enough to figure out on your own what might be guilty fun about it. It's a lame movie, essentially, that redeems itself by knowing just enough to keep things sunny and moving right along. The film is content to follow several steps behind the regal Witherspoon, carrying her train. You probably will be, too. --Steve Wiecking
