What's great about this movie is that Elle is a believable underdog, and people belittle her in realistic ways instead of just being dumb bullies. And Elle remains such a nice person though it all, this is how a strong independent woman is written. She stays herself. Also it's good that her professor is realistic too, until the scene where he hits on her, he does not seem like that kind of creep. If he did, it would have weakened Elle's character for not catching on. And Chutney is also the name of one of Santa's oldest elves who hates Santa and once stabbed him in the chest with a wood chisel.

I think the writing of the professor and the writing for Warner brings this from an A to a B for me. There was no reason for the professor to have hit on Elle except to say "men in power are gross". They could have had him fall ill or something that would have allowed Elle to take lead on the case. As far as Warner goes, instead of making him the generic bad guy give him something better. Just have him say he underestimated her and show her respect without making it about romance.

I'm 64 and a father of two girls and two boys. The girls and my then-wife were really excited to watch this movie and I was being my typical crotchety film-judgy self, sneering at the marketing material look of the movie and not giving it a chance, all the way through the opening sequence. I watched the movie with everyone at home (rented VHS) and absolutely loved it. Great comedy, great writing, great performances and I totally went with the feel-good vibe at the end. Really glad I gave it a chance and that everyone just ignored me for a while. This movie got a couple Golden Globe award nominations and won a whole slew of super-sweet new-millennium VHS-era awards. Deserved.

As someone who was born in 1993 and an aspiring law student this movie is an absolute treasure! And I’m so glad you love it as much as I do. It definitely has a special place in my heart not just because of its iconic scenes but also it’s very progressive theme of women being able to have a duality of being both beautiful and feminine and also intelligent and classy. It encourages women to challenge themselves and that women don’t have to choose between being pretty and flirty or intelligent and more modest. Truly a theme ahead of its time and of course the music was so perfect! I always get nostalgic when I hear the upbeat and feel good music back then, they just don’t make it like that anymore. Your video was so much and I loved it!

I’ve started to think that Elle was secretly a genius. She got a 179 but beyond that she had a 4.0 gpa at ucla while running a popular sorority and (I assume based on Elle’s character) participating in an impressive amount of extracurriculars and socializing. Then once she cracks open a book at Harvard she starts doing well despite being 2-3 classes in and knowing practically nothing about law before that.

I love this movie because when it first came out I had no interest in seeing it. I thought it was going to be another “dumb blonde movie.” When I finally did watch it, it was so wonderfully subversive, and it actually made me consider some of my prejudices (not against blonde, but I was definitely judging the book by the cover). If you like Jennifer Coolidge that much, I definitely recommend Austenland, even just for you for fun. I don’t think anyone has ever reacted to it, and it won’t get a lot of interest, but you would like it. Jennifer Coolidge, Keri Russell, Bret McKenzie, Jane Seymour, Georgia King, James Callis, and Ricky Whittle. It’s a brilliant cast with a really funny script and lots of leeway for improv.

Hey Shanelle! You're right about how awesome the writing is. One thing that amazes me about it, is just how much plot they crammed in without it being a hot mess. There's the main story of Elle following her boyfriend, but accidentally becoming a good lawyer in the process, there's the new love interest, there's the whole progression of Vivian leaving Warner and becoming friends with Elle, there's the drama of the court case itself and the defendant, then there's the whole harassment side story and all of the misunderstanding that comes from that, not to mention the entire side love story with the UPS guy and Paulette, and also her character arc where she confronts her ex and "takes the dog back" . . . like, there's a ton of story packed into this script and it all feels just right in terms of pacing, believability, acting, length of film, everything is just perfect that way.

Elle is such a great heroine. She is strong from the start, and she didn't have to learn any “lessons”, she just discovered her own strengths and ambition. She began the movie with strong principles- not giving up the alibi, not telling Warner about Vivian tricking her into dressing up, and she doesn't ever judge the other women characters who are wildly different than her, like Paula. She also enevr resorts to sabotage or intentionally making Vivian look bad in order to win Warner back. Elle has real class, even if she's not as “sophisticated” as the snobby east coast people.

I remember reading interviews with Reese Witherspoon during this film's initial release where she said she saw her role in "Legally Blonde" to be her Judy Holiday/"Born Yesterday" moment. Judy Holiday was a B-list actress prior to "Born Yesterday" and decided to elevate her role (and the movie itself, frankly) as much as possible. She could have played the part as a pedestrian 'dumb blonde' stereotype but pushed to make it more. Judy Holiday came away with an Oscar for the effort she put into it. Reese looked at Elle and saw the part as her own vehicle to elevating her name and opportunities in the acting field, and it worked. While Reese may not have gotten an Oscar for her performance, the film is absolutely a cult favorite, being light & fun & intelligent & memorable. Please note, Tori Spellman was the 1st asked & turned down the role, then the script went to Christina Applegate who passed on it. Also turned down by Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, Alicia Silverstone, Katherine Heigl, Milla Jovovich, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Reese was quite happy to make lemon chiffon cake out of what other actors had apparently only seen as stale sour lemons. I recommend you watch "Born Yesterday" (1950) even if you don't do a reaction to it on your channel. I think it's good context for the film, given that Judy Holiday approached her role in an enlightened way and Reese took a page from her to do the same. Reese and Judy were both smart enough to take a calculated step to do a better job than what was written on the page, and it made a difference.

You have a great sense of humor and I have never not smiled from something you said in a video. Great laugh too.

Your reaction at 26:28 with the Perm is the exact reaction my mom and I had. Just louder. My dad looked at us and went 'What? What happened?!'

YES. But I might replace What About Bob with Stranger that Fiction or 9 to 5……

I really think that an underappreciated storyline here is that people just don’t take Elle seriously. It’s said again and again, from the proposal, the chat with her parents, with Warner at the party, and with Emmett and Paulette at the end. People usually take away the whole “don’t judge a book” message, but this movie is really about Elle learning to stop caring that people don’t take her seriously and to take herself seriously without sacrificing what makes her unique (like changing back to her colorful wardrobe at the end).

Dang! I don't know how I have not seen you until today!!! I love watching your reactions to films and you make me totally react to you! You are fun, thoughtful, adorable and make me enjoy the film even more than when I originally viewed them! Thank you so very much! Did you attend film school?? I asked yo before and hopeful you will reply to one of my comments. I am done with my shift and going to go eat lunch :D

Your reactions are always a delight. I have an interesting recommendation. Ever seen Drop Dead Fred? I think you’d get a good chuckle lol

Little bit of trivia that I don’t think is widely known about Reese that may be applicable to her performance in this movie. When she was in high school she participated in the Nashville and Tennesee high school mock trial competitions and was known to be one of the top team members (as you might expect with her acting chops) for Harpeth Hall High School which for many many years was one of the top teams in the state. I ran the Nashville and Tennessee competitions for a number of years starting in 1995 when I was a young lawyer. She had just graduated from high school the year before so our paths didn’t cross but the attorneys who coached her and other teams were still coaching at the time and her performances were apparently fantastic. I am not 100% sure but I believe during at least one of the years she participated Harpeth Hall may have won the TN competition and represented TN in the National competition. Because of all of this that is what I think of every time I see this movie. In my head I envision her in the mock trial competitions. LOL

I never had any interest in watching this movie until one day I was board, had nothing to do and thought, 'screw it.' and watched it. It really is a good movie, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Love Elle and love your reactions. You should definitely watch Legally Blonde 2. Obviously not as good as the first one, but in the world of sequels it is a very good one! I know you would love it!

I love this movie! I love Reese and the cast, the script is excellent. I love that her and the girl become best friends and they both drop Warner.

Legally Blonde is one of my comfort films. I put it on when I'm in a sour mood and by the end, I'm instantly happier. If you can get your hands on a copy of the DVD with the commentary, I highly recommend it. They have such great insight and fun little BTS bits that I think you'll love. I also have a deep appreciation for the musical (I'm a theater kid), so to hear that you'd heard most of it just brought a huge smile to my face. You can compare the two and say that one does certain things better over the other, but I think they both do well as what they are, and to me they're both essential watches. The Legally Blonde musical was filmed for a special for MTV and you can *probably* still find it on KZbin, if you want to give the actual production a watch! It's SO good.

I refused to watch this movie for years because I was absolutely convinced that I would HATE the movie... Nothing about the premise, or story interested me in the least. Finally, it came on regular cable and for lack of anything else I watched the movie and was charmed. Reese Witherspoon totally made the movie for me. (love Jennifer Coolidge too). It is such a delicate balance to be able to play comedy in a totally silly movie, but still get across that the situation is deadly serious to the character. It is really easy to just get the silly part, or to just do serious and bypass the comedy... Reese nails both and carries the movie.
