  • Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is a California blonde with couture clothes (mostly pink), fabulous friends and the hottest boyfriend on campus. So when Warner Huntington III suddenly dumps her and heads to Harvard Law School, Elle takes matters into her own manicured hands. She enrolls too! Now getting Warner back should be a snap (well, maybe a bend and snap), right? Wrong! Elle's about to begin the toughest fight of her life...for love, honor, justice and respect for blondes everywhere!

    Something I didn't know until recently, Elle's score of 179 on the LSAT was probably one of the highest in her class. The highest you can get is 180, when the movie came out, I thought that she just squeaked by, but she got a nearly perfect score!

    Great movie. I really needed this. I study a male dominated field, which isn't bad per se, so far everything has gone fine and everyone has been nice, excluding a few old teachers, but I feel like I have to be the 'role model' for other women and perform 200% for that reason. Not necessarily true, but I don't want to give a bad impression when I'm in the minority and strengthen the negative stereotype. I'm short and have a child like energy, for the lack of a better word, so I'm worried I won't be taken seriously even if I know my stuff and can take responsibility. My imposter syndrome and anxiety are nuisances lol.

    I love this movie for all of the reasons everyone always talks about...but one teeny tiny thing that would have been amazing: those glasses she wears on her first day are actually really cute. I've had to wear glasses since I was four (no, contacts aren't an option) so as a glasses-wearing natural blonde (like Elle) it would have been really cool if they were just like reading glasses that she uses on occasion. It would have been a really nice touch! Glasses can be totally cute AND even designers make frames, not just for sunglasses either. My current frames are Nine West but I've had Bebe & Candy's brand before. I've seen Chanel, Gucci, Versace, Tom Ford & Ralph Lauren glasses! 👓

    Ser loira e rica é mole..com profissão definida vida boa... Até viro eu deixaria de ser Joana ninguém seria gente... Nasceu virada pra Lua... É conheço muitas como ela... Patricinha vida que pediu a Deus... E Deus como é parcial deu... É de manhã acorda aquele café da manhã... É porque o meu é literalmente café só...depois vai pra faculdade... Depois academia...depois vai ao shopping fazer compras... Isso de carro é Claro... Porque essas mulheres estão acostumados assim... Por último pra fechar o dia com chave de ouro vai com o ficante um rico empresário pra restaurante ou balada... Puxa vida difícil sofrida como essas mulheres aguenta esse sofrimento essa tortura... Elas aguentam porque são empoderadas...mulheres do século 21 . Minha vida é uma merda totalmente diferente será que estou no século errada... Não estou no século 19 não? Faculdade não tenho. Dinheiro não tenho. Carro não tenho. Nunca comprei num shopping..minhas roupas é de brechó... não faço academia... não tenho ou nunca tive namorado nenhum muito menos empresário... Também pobre coitada... É Deus o não existe ou existe?

    The thing that ruined this movie is the casting of the Sorority girls and that woman at the salon.

      Naw they were fantastic. My only change would be getting someone fluent in Vietnamese for that manicure scene. Elle’s friend who spoke it apparently was not accurate.

      @@shawnbay2211 but that makes sense for the scene, elles friend may have not been perfect but she learned what she could so she could talk to someone who spoke it fluently.
