I can tell that Emmett starts falling for Elle in this song and it’s so cute when he smells the paper

[@lucy_9702]

Also this is the song where Elle starts to fall in love with her career

[@crstph]

I love the movie but it just doesn't do Elle and Emmett's relationship justice

[@kaylamorello5478]

Christy S I also like Emmett's character better here.

[@rkah6187]

I love the movie and the musical too, they're both great. It's just that they're about different things. In the film, the focus is on Elle and her alone proving how much she's worth, the romance is just something of an aside. I actually like that, I mean swapping one dude for another would sort of diminish what the story was about, that's why it didn't get more emphasis.The broadway show is a romantic comedy. Nothing wrong with, of course, but its got a slightly different focus.

[@SC-kb9kk]

I was first introduced to Legally Blonde when my high school performed it. I loved it so much that I went to see the movie and... was disappointed honestly. There are a couple things the movie does differently that work arguably better than the musical, the main one being in the movie Elle decides on her own to succeed at Harvard while Elle in the musical doesnt really care until Emmett motivates her. I understand why that it irks some people (it did for me, that was the one thing I didn't like about the musical) but even though Emmett motivates her, Elle goes on to prove herself multiple times without Emmett's help. He was more of a catalyst for actually caring about Harvard. I also dont believe that developing the romance more devalues Elle's character in the musical at all. I personally really loved it, it is leaps and bounds above what was presented in the movie. I dont have a desire to re-watch the movie because I actually find it mean-spritird and catty. I haven't grown to like the actors and characters in general in the movie. But the musical magnifies the very best elements of the movie and truly transforms it into a heart-warming story. Is it corny? Yes, but I love it. Everytime I watch it I feel good and extra motivated to be the best person of myself.

[@monioni7923]

@@rkah6187 this is still about elle starting to know her self worth thats what the song so much better is all about

[@lunacy5772]

@@rkah6187 I see it as less romantic comedy more establishing and solidifying emmet and elle's chemistry with each other as opposed to the movie where emmet and elle hang out twice maybe thrice but the movie still insisted they end up with each other. Also "immediately swapping dudes" is an overstatement as well, just because they were both "romantically available" in one scene together doesn't mean they are immediately a couple. Emmet saw a struggling student and saw himself in her and pushes her to discover her self-worth back until she was strong enough to stand for herself, it wasn't until "take it like a man" he started to evaluate what he was feeling. granted in some cases the movie did better in doing elle's independence better but we are talking about their relationship here, and in reality we people are often blinded by desires and can need a push every now and then. Besides elle's "badassery" wasn't diminished. that is my two cents on the matter.

[@notcarameldonuts6912]

I love how they built up Emmett and Elle’s relationship the way they did it’s just so charming!

[@theatrekidlilly2414]

That's why I prefer the musical over the movie. They show Elles and emmett's realtionship build

there are a lot of ways that this musical captures the frenetic atmosphere of both the film and courtroom culture but one of the most captivating ways (that the actors all execute incredibly well) is the was they interrupt each other in song. like in this clip when elle goes "well why did you come" as a way of being like "you don't need to condescend me to make your point"
