If her dazzling turns in Election, Freeway, and The Man in the Moon weren’t enough to convince you that Reese Witherspoon is one of her generation’s greatest actresses, Legally Blonde will close the deal. Go to Full Review
Christy Lemire Associated Press 10/25/2018
The movie is a lot like 1995's Clueless, which was also totally cute, in that it has a brain and a heart. And like its heroine, it's a lot smarter than it looks. Go to Full Review

It is a worthy addition to the canon of strong female led films. It added something new and something never been done before to the genre. Go to Full Review

Clueless meets Election in this breezy, utterly disposable high-concept chuckler. Go to Full Review

See this delightfully silly comedy just for the performance of Reese Witherspoon, who, after her Oscar-worthy coup in Election, proves once more that she is for real an American treasure. Go to Full Review

Mickey B @Mickerdoo Dec 26 Succinct pacing and a character that defaults to kindness and humility but thrives when cornered. Supreme cast rocks this. Wilson charms. See more Emily @Milacademia Dec 8 In my opinion, this movie is one of the 2000s classics. It’s a light, easy-to-watch comedy that’s perfect for taking your mind off things after a long day. I think anyone who enjoys 2000s vibes and aesthetics would enjoy it. See more Frans B @FransB Nov 29 Reese Witherspoon is undeniably convincing in character. Intelligent writing, great cinematography and beautifully brought to screen. A VERY Girly Movie, thought it would not be for me, but it entertains a lot. Lots of drama, emotion, asperations, desperation, twists, disappointment, joy, heartache, bliss, funny (peculiar and some hahaha), gripping, intrigue and adventure.
