Legally Blonde (2001) 7/10

Starring : Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, Selma Blair, Matthew Davis, Victor Garber, Jennifer Coolidge, Holland Taylor, Ali Larter, Linda Cardellini
Director : Robert Luketic
Running Time : 95 mins

Elle Woods decides to take up law when her boyfriend Warner Huntington III tells her she isn’t intelligent enough to impress his family. When she turns up at Harvard, she discovers that Warner has started seeing his old girlfriend Vivian Kensington, so Elle vows to prove to him and everyone else that she’s as smart as the next girl!

Actually a very enjoyable film, sadly marred by the slapdash plot of the sequel, this has a nice plot through which Elle has to prove an accused murderer innocent of a crime she didn’t commit. Witherspoon is wonderfully vapid in this, but without coming across as totally one-dimensional.
