Jasmin M I mean it’s heaps better than the second one Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Kevin P A sweet and clever spin on the oversaturated "dumb blonde" tropes of the early 2000s that thankfully subverts the tropes we've seen a million times with this kind of setup. Reese Witherspoon is really funny and likable in the main role and avoids most of the cliches of the time. She gets to stay bubbly and traditionally "girly" while still genuinely earning and finding passion into law school. She forms a funny friendship with Jennifer Coolidge without any cliche "makeover scenes" to help her out. Her friend group is supportive and the only cat fight she has turns into another friendship after they both realize they're pawns for the same man. The movie defies objectification of the era without pitting all of its female characters against each other. All while still being a very funny movie with clever courtroom scenes at the very heart of the movie. It's a movie I always dismissed as a kid and assumed it was overrated. But after finally getting to watch it, I can confirm it won me over and I finally get the hype. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é bacaninha, e só a Reese whiterspoon ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom, e o final que o personagem da linda cardelinni admitir ser a culpada foi ruim demais, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.

Definitely a must watch Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Keith N Well, I didn't expect to like this that match. The parts without the goofy girl crap that was in the beginning, it started to become a good movie. Had to watch this for my Film Story Analysis class final. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Audience Member At first glance, Legally Blonde (2001) seems to be just another 2000s teen romantic comedy. You could expect a predictable story of fashionable girls, cute love interests, and high school drama. I thought it was just about a sorority girl trying to win back her boyfriend. But, the film turned out to be something much more than that. It mixes humor with empowerment in a surprising way. Legally Blonde is not just about fashion and love. It is a motivational story that shows the journey of self-discovery and defying expectations. The main character is Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School in attempt to win back her ex-boyfriend. At first, Elle struggles to fit into the competitive environment, but soon she discovers that her unique approach, knowledge, and determination help her stand out. The movie follows Elle as she learns to embrace her intelligence and challenge the stereotype of the “dumb blonde.” She proves that you can be both “beautiful and brainy,” and that’s a powerful thing. The movie centers around Elle’s journey of breaking stereotypes, both societal and self-imposed. Elle’s transformation from a pink-wearing, fashion-obsessed student into a confident law student challenges the idea that women, especially those who embrace femininity, can’t succeed in demanding fields like law. As Elle excels in her studies and legal cases, Legally Blonde becomes an exploration of self-confidence and empowerment. It shows that intelligence and beauty can coexist and complement each other. This “beauty with brains” theme runs throughout the movie, showing that confidence, determination, and Elle’s signature charm can help her succeed in the competitive male-dominated world like law school. Elle’s self-confidence is one of the most inspiring parts of “Legally Blonde”. From the start, she walks into any room with pride, whether it’s a party or a Harvard classroom. As the movie progresses, her confidence deepens. By the time she’s in the courtroom proving her legal skills, it’s clear how much she’s grown. The movie sends a strong message about believing in yourself, no matter what others think. Success isn’t about where you come from or how you look. It’s about pushing past doubts and proving your worth to yourself and to the world. The success of “Legally Blonde” isn’t just about its empowering message. It’s also driven by its strong performances. Reese Witherspoon brings Elle Woods to life with charm and depth, perfectly capturing her journey from a naive sorority girl to a confident lawyer. The supporting cast, including Luke Wilson and Selma Blair, add to the film’s mix of humor and heart, making the story even more enjoyable. Visually, the bright cinematography and energetic soundtrack enhance the movie’s fun and uplifting atmosphere. Of course, the film isn’t without it’s flaws. Some might find the plot predictable, as it follows a familiar rom-com formula. But what makes “Legally Blonde” stand out is how it balances comedy with a powerful message about self-confidence and breaking stereotypes. Even with its lighthearted moments, the film leaves a lasting impact, proving that it’s much more than just another teen comedy. In conclusion, Legally Blonde is much more than a rom-com. It’s an empowering story about self-confidence, challenging stereotypes, and proving that you can be both smart and stylish. It’s a movie that leaves you feeling inspired and reminds you that confidence is key. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a fun movie with a strong, positive message about being yourself, and defying what others think you can or can’t do.
