Jennifer Coolidge, Luke Wilson, Matthew Davis, Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Victor Garber - Director: Robert Luketic In the sharply funny LEGALLY BLONDE, Reese Witherspoon gives a glittering performance as Elle Woods, the natural blonde sorority queen who enrolls at Harvard Law School. When she first appears, Elle seems to be no more than the bright cousin of CLUELESS's Alicia Silverstone. Expecting her boyfriend Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis) to propose, she is mortified when instead he says he needs somebody serious as his wife. When Elle discovers Warner's brother is engaged to a law student, she decides to go to Harvard. She studies for the LSATs, submits a video essay--in which she appears in a sequined bikini--and, miraculously, is accepted. At first, Elle is rebuked by Professor Stromwell (Holland Taylor) and is the target of snide comments from other students. But, gradually, it becomes clear that Elle is no fish out of water--she is smarter, more driven, and more likely to survive in the rarefied Harvard atmosphere than anyone else.
Witherspoon gets fine support from Selma Blair as Warner's new fiancée, Jennifer Coolidge as a beautician, Victor Garber as an unscrupulous professor, Ali Larter as a client from Elle's sorority, Holland Taylor, and Luke Wilson as a lawyer fascinated by Elle's unconventional approach. The smart, witty script is by Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith. The first-time director is 28-year-old Australian Robert Luketic. Legally Blonde Reviews: "...Beaming star wattage out of ever pore, not to mention her hair, Witherspoon once again proves herself a comedienne worthy of comparison to such golden era greats as Carole Lombard and Ginger Rogers..."
-- Todd McCarthy, Variety "...[Witherspoon is] a sharp, quick-witted Doris Day....Witherspoon has the reflexes to make Elle both appealing and ridiculous..."-- A. O. Scott, New York Times "...The film bubbles along like a whirlpool tub full of bath gel....Witherspoon is the main course, and she serves justice in delicious fashion..."
-- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today "...Reese Witherspoon reveals interesting dark roots even as she plays golden girls..."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly "...[Witherspoon] stays one sharp cookie..."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...Witherspoon projects an astute mix of genuine affability and game over-exaggeration..."
-- Kay Dickinson, Sight and Sound "...Witherspoon effortlessly animated this material with sunshine and quick wit..."

 Blonde's first Computer...a pencial.
I see leagues of bubble gum chewing,hair spraying (while on the cell phone) teenages and 35 year old moms who want to be their daughters best friends instead of a parent..being taken in by this film.
Other Titles.. Legally Stupid is a good sequel.
Ladies of the world be insulted not amused by this movie.
Buy the story of Helen Keller and learn about a real woman.

 A fun movie
I bought this movies mainly for Reese Witherspoon, and she didn't disappoint. The story itself is pure Hollywood with its cliches and not that original characters. But Witherspoon made it much more fun than what it would be if a less charismatic actress was playing the main character. She puts all her charm and charisma into the movie. So I liked the movie. I don't think I will watch it very often, but it was a good buy.

Co-helmed by WALL-E director Andrew Stanton, FINDING NEMO follows Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an overprotective clown fish father, as he desperately searches the farthest reaches of the sea for his missing son Nemo. Marlin's journey leads him beyond the Great Barrier Reef into deeper and darker waters, where he meets Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a forgetful yet optimistic blue tang, and a number of not-so-friendly--and often very hungry--aquatic creatures. Meanwhile, little Nemo finds himself in a dentist's fish tank in Syndey, Australia, along with other underwater captives, including Gill (Willem Dafoe), the group's scarred Moorish idol leader. As Nemo works with his new friends on a plan to escape their tank, Marlin and Dory swim closer, but they'll need more than just fins to get into the dentist's office.
This fifth computer-animated outing by Pixar continues the ...
