Blonde Lawyer Reacts to Legally Blonde 2: Red White and BLONDE

[@ryanlilly7264]

Random fact, my grandpa was an extra in this movie - He worked for the Illinois State government and filming for Legally Blonde 2 took place shortly after 9/11, so filming at the capitol wasn't really an option... so they filmed at the Illinois state capitol instead and used employees as extras. You can see him several times during Elle's big speech to the house. He nods a lot XD

[@eryuu4016]

That's so cool!! 🤩

[@rebeccahollman1731]

I had an undergrad professor who answered a call from his wife during lecture and then proceeded to argue with her for several minutes while all 200 of us just sat there and watched. It was a mess

[@pythonjava6228]

In Kenya, the professor would 100% answer his phone in class and speak casually to his students about his personal relationships. It's actually super weird. I knew way too much about my teacher's marriages and sex life. And this behavior starts in primary school

[@fannic8753]

I'm in Hungary but same thing applies here. We know all the tea

[@HAVgiraffe]

My favorite part of this movie is the nearly perpetual halo of pink light that seems to follow Elle wherever she goes...in a car during daylight with top down, pink halo, presenting your new case to your partners, pink halo....

[@marydidyouknow5826]

It's the writing. It just went so beyond reality in just about everything, wears whereas the first one was more realistic even when it was stretched a bit.

[@LoneGamerNerd]

"Hi, Allison, it's Cookie." Is one of the best moments in this movie -- which I've pretty much forgotten since I never watch it. I was so sure you were going to show that for a moment.

[@FronkieTheSaltyRat]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@withempress]

Agree, it was a strangly progressive moment even for a joke, like yes, transphobic as well but it also said "this sorority accepts trans women" but in a sorta gross way 🤣

[@MariaRevArt]

I will never understand why they made this "sequel". Legally Blonde was great as it was.

[@EvelynL.1112]

Agreed

[@doperagu8471]

@AND ANDREY ISN'T HERE was gonna say the same thing. If there's money, they will make the movie no matter how awful.

[@WhiteRaven696]

This one, I can understand. It was a cashgrab. But after this one flopped, WHY ON EARTH DID THEY MAKE A THREEQUEL STARRING ELLE'S TEENAGE TWIN COUSINS CALLED LEGALLY BLONDES?!

[@MariaRevArt]

@@WhiteRaven696 I have no idea.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

@@WhiteRaven696 I refuse to even acknowledge that crap lol.

[@raphabarbosa5605]

Leeja, as a lawyer myself here in Brazil I am sooooo captivated by your videos specially to see the differences and the similarities of our legal system - and of course laugh with you about crazy stuffs happening in films and TV shows. Your work is amazing and I am already a fan! 🥰🥰

[@sierrabird3817]

Ooo any big differences between Brazil & USA laws?

[@kylieashley-jones1742]

Intern Class of 2003? But Elle graduated in 2004. Wrong year.

[@VivaVendetta]

I'd love to see you do a react to My Cousin Vinny, I've heard it's one of the more accurate courtroom movies but IDK if that's true!

[@sierrabird3817]

YES! I need her reaction to MCV!

[@bmccAck]

@@sierrabird3817 she already has kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3KoaXSIaZqZbac

[@DingoDin]

Okay, so (A) Leeja, you could be the next Judge Judy, if you like, you’re brilliant and dry and got the it factor. (B) This film potentially got people interested in actual democratic process. (C) Legislation for the protection of animal rights as a main topic for a Hollywood film at any time is still inspiring and sadly needed more today. (D) Never give up hope, that’s what drives change for truth (you all already know this right?) It’s still a great movie duh ❤✨

[@Munthebun]

You are the epitome of class and knowledge. I'm so glad I subscribed, I enjoy your educational, yet very entertaining content!!!

[@carlostorres7505]

Came for the drag demystification now I’m hooked to this women that is a lawyer but she is not my lawyers so if I have any legal questions.... ect 🤣🤣🥰

[@jordanfaulkner6394]

How have you not reviewed My Cousin Vinny yet! Please review it! The world needs it!

[@chrisvansickle9825]

Leeja can throw legal knowledge at us via any medium! I love that I learn something every video, even on something as stupid and silly as legally blonde!

[@tierraburley6968]

You should do a reaction video to an episode of Ally McBeal. It used to be one of my favorite shows and very underrated as a classic.

[@LeejaMiller]

Omg EXCELLENT idea

[@MoreCoffeePlease.]

I second this, please! 🤞🏻

[@Cat_Woods]

​@@LeejaMiller I'm curious if during the course of these kind of reactions, you could comment on what would and wouldn't be considered professional attire for women today. (Yes, I know there's a double standard, and I'm curious about where it is now.) I edited a book for college students years ago about getting a job lined up after college, and at that point, it was still not appropriate for women to dress like Ally McBeal in court or in job interviews. So the author had to make a point about that to help young women avoid faux pas that could derail their career paths at the outset. But I also know the culture continues to change on this point. So I'd love to hear your realistic fashion (not legal) advice to women in court and the work place. I also recall when I knew some lawyers who helped poor women in court that a big part of what they demanded from clients was about wardrobe. No woman being defended in court could wear anything even slightly sexy - it was a very big deal that they dress in the frumpiest thing they could find. I'm curious if this has been studied and if it has changed.

[@eryuu4016]

1:49. I've actually had that happen a couple times. (High school *and* college. I even had it happen when I was getting CNA training.) Don't count it out.

[@jhonnewell9522]

Please please please please, watch and react to.. To Kill a Mockingbird! Love this movie and book, I try and read it each fall.

[@ester8436]

Dude, I remember having the same reaction when I heard the speech. I said “What does that even have to do with anything?”

[@katarinababic9197]

Love your videos Leeja. I used to go to Law high school and we had a lot of practical classes and trial simulations and that was always so interesting to me, but I ultimately decided to study languages instead. Your videos are they really bring me back to when I studied law. 😄 I really enjoy your content. 💙💝 You should definitely react to How to get away with murder.

[@cockyrocky9377]

That last minute mental break was a super appropriate response to Legally Blonde 2.

[@bluranger4d7]

Omg I never noticed the amount of pink side lighting on Elle

[@kim_flynji8461]

the nerd alert on the statute killed me :') can definitely confirm it's not for everyone. i currently work in engineering safety and have done policy writing on various areas of safety - and yep the UK legislation we follow is both dense and difficult to trudge through - but i love it, gotta be someone to do it right!

[@corrinemeshelski1101]

Thank you for including the hot dog line. It was, and still is, hilarious 😆

[@chandlersampson]

Hi, me again. I need your *skincare routine* in extensive detail and any other tips you would provide on how to be so gorg. I will not rest until this happens. Thanks so much ❤️

[@LeejaMiller]

I MEANNNN when you ask this nicely how could i say no???

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

@Chandler it's like you're a real life Elle Woods lol.

[@quenepacrossing4675]

Hyped for the legally blonde musical review!!!

[@richardallen144]

"And she looks terrific in charcoal" is a pretty good burn of DC fashion of that time

[@salvadorangeldiazrodriguez2574]

I am loving all of this! Thanks for such great content, you are amazing!

[@ZhongXinabingchilling]

The gay dogs storyline was simply amazing. I was gagged and my jaw was on the floor when u first watched that scene😂😂. And as a gay guy, I genuinely don t consider it that problematic. It was all in good fun and it did have a certain message to it

[@elainagilbert7663]

It's definitely the writing that's bad, but I also think it's the directing. Like, there were scenes that could've used a few more takes and that's on the director for not catching. This was totally a cash grab and nothing more.

[@joshwatanabe9885]

Btw the steps where they do the doggy dance are actually the Utah capitol building steps outside where the state legislature meets

[@sweeney60]

Yes please review Mr. Smith Goes to Washington! I’d love to hear how it holds up?

[@louise1174]

Love your stuff!

[@LeejaMiller]

hey thank you!!

[@juanitacheerleading8484]

The "what was this speech even about" sent me.

[@terrylovesyogurt5983]

Yeah the divisiveness you mentioned aged perfectly/horribly with being released on Jan 6th.

[@nytheprincess]

This should have more views! Good job :)

[@LeejaMiller]

Hey thank you!!!

[@kmallory100]

Partly filmed in Springfield, Illinois due to it's Capital building looking most like Washington DC.

[@EmilyKresl]

You should definitely review Mr. Smith goes to Washington, and I would love to see what you'd have to say about, "My Cousin Vinnie," "I am Sam," and "My Blue Heaven."

[@deimo3763]

I actually love this movie lmao

[@LeejaMiller]

Hahaha look it’s charming and honestly a closer look at the legislative process than most main stream/rom com movies give

[@horsechick818]

You skipped my favorite line, “Oh my gosh it’s Capitol Barbie!”

[@Josh-Stewart]

This was so fun to watch.. totally does bring me back to a simpler time and yes now thinking how the country is now makes me have a drink or a hotdog REAL bad lol 😆 Also this is my second video of yours I've watched and now I'm a new subscriber and "rung the bell"

[@whipnchainbarbi]

If you're looking for another comedy to react to, how about My Cousin Vinny or Pauly Shore's Jury Duty?

[@liammccreight5853]

how do you only get like 10k likes?? these videos are the highlight on my days hahah

[@DavidLindes]

10:12/10:29 - oooh, yeah, I'd enjoy a review of old classics like Mr. Smith goes to Washington (which... I don't think I've seen, actually; hmm, might have to!). Maybe also To Kill A Mockingbird?

[@jhunifiedwithlove9750]

Criticizing Luke and Reese with their acting is everything. I can’t with u. And I loveeeet hahahaha

[@adamjensen339]

So glad I found your channel! Will you ever do a reaction to the legally blonde musical?

[@LeejaMiller]

Omg it’s been on my list for the longest time, I feel uniquely qualified given I am a blonde lawyer who is also a closet choir nerd

[@belindajohansen2899]

I would actually be interested in what you have to say about Philadelphia. That is if you can get through without crying.

[@DrVVVinK]

When it comes to movies about passing bills, can you watch The American President?

[@LeejaMiller]

Oooh ok haven’t seen that one!

[@doperagu8471]

Yes I *DO* think that AOC wakes up and says that every day..and this is why we love her 😍

[@alicia68000]

Absolutely do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington react video. I would 100% watch that.

[@Blurrei]

Don't know if someone mentioned it here, but you talked about timeline and that was the biggest issue with this movie for me. It takes place in 2003, yet Elle only graduated in 2004, so she was actually still a student and not engaged to Emmett. To make matters even worse, Reese Witherspoon is the sole executive producer of the sequel, so she was aware in multiple levels of how... unique?... she was in it.

[@fireguardiancoty]

Snaps for Leeja!

[@sambeawesome]

Oh man am I so glad I never saw this movie x'D Thank you for watching it for us. Great video!

[@MJ4cars97]

I'd love to see you reacting to Suits! I loved the series overall, but as someone who is legally incompetent I have no clue how accurate it is(I'm guessing not a lot in some parts) xD Found your channel with the RPDR Contract video and been hooked binge-watching since haha

[@nolaray1062]

I wonder if Legally Blonde 3 will be better now that so much time has passed.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the film and TV series the Paper Chase. It features John Houseman, Lindsay Wagner, and Timothy Bottoms.

[@imjustdandy9799]

I worked at a museum for 5 years, after having attending classes and been a volunteer there for ten years. We got a new director, a white guy, who routinely forgot my name and introduced me to board members and donors as 'the intern'. Thankfully, he didn't last long.

Yes!

[@raeannmills5329]

This makes me laugh so hard because I did find out that dogs can actually be gay and then I remembered when I was younger my Nana had a miniature poodle and my pop-pop had a miniature schnauzer and they would just hump the shit out of each other all the time and they were both female and we never knew why we figured maybe it was a hole it was around their time of the month type thing or it was just a dog thing we never really called any attention to it but yeah and if a male dog tried to hump either one of them they would both go ballistic and actually actively get away from the male dog by snapping at them

[@GregInHouston2]

Doesn't "you should all seek the legal advice of a licensed attorney" constitute legal advice? Actually, a reaction to "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" would be awesome. I'm surprise a youngster like you has seen it! Also, a reaction to that School House Rock you showed would be cool; the subject of that bill is a state issue and not in the purview of Congress.

[@LeejaMiller]

Lol the only legal advice I’m comfortable giving on here

[@whitneyedwards2243]

I tried watching this the other day, had to turn it off about 10-15 mins in, I couldn't take the bad acting and terrible storyline. I don't think I've ever seen this one, the first one was adorable (the acting really didn't seem that bad in the first one - compared to this one holy crap)

If your hair is already blonde and you're just punching out up a bit or lightening it a bit, it's certainly attainable with Clairol. I've done it myself.
