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

From The New Yorker
The fabulous Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), a West Coast sorority queen, follows her escaping boyfriend to Harvard Law School, where she shows up wearing leather and carrying a Chihuahua in her arms. The first-time director Robert Luketic displays a talent for candied artifice and gentle parody: the scenes in the sorority house are so stylized they could be out of an old M.G.M. musical, complete with pink-on-pink décor and squealing girls who are both silly and likable. But "Legally Blonde" collapses very quickly into low-grade farce. Almost everyone at Harvard is a jerk or a phony, and the plot, including a murder trial, is sitcom-obvious. See it only for the talented Witherspoon, who manages to embody the Cosmo girl, Lancômed to the hilt. -David Denby

Predictable yet Enjoyable4
In my 4 decades of movie watching, I don't know if I've ever seen one with a more predictable plot than this one. The writers made no effort to mislead the viewer, unlike movies such as Charade with Audrey Hepburn or Sixth Sense. None the less, Legally Blonde was quite enjoyable thanks to Reese Witherspoon's spirited acting, some good gag lines, Reese's amazing pink wardrobe, her Chihuahua's amazing and often coordinating wardrobe, and clever supporting characters. Unfortunately, the supporting characters like the angry lesbian law student and Raquel Welsh as a pampered wealthy socialite only had a few lines and were pretty much background for Reese Witherspoon, but they did add some interest and amusement. Reese Witherspoon's acting carries this movie and brings it from a mediocre 3 stars to a respectable 4.

Sweertheart of a film!5
Legally Blonde is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's not groundbreaking, it has no pretensions of greatness -- but it's absolutely tops for wonderful laughs and a cute chick-lit kind of story.

Legally Blonde is more endearing every time I watch it.
