A 180 is a perfect score for the LSAT's. So, Elle getting 179 was near perfect. She's smarter than people gave her credit for because she's blond.

[@simransimran9339]

I don't think it's not just people not giving her enough credit. She's probably got a photographic memory. But because she's so privileged, she's rich and pretty and so loved, she never had to prove herself. So she never had to apply herself.

I love how the musical of this movie deepened the characters of Emmett and Vivian. Emmett with how they gave him more scenes with Elle and a way to show how different he is from Warner. And Vivian by seeing the slap!! So she stood up for her and encouraged her. I love it!!

[@carlalussini]

And even Warner, it is more clear in it that he actually loves his life with Elle (not her because he's a narcissist) and he has not been malevolently using her but more like his parents pressure him into becoming a serious lawyer, but he would honestly would have preferred to be a rich losangelino that doesn't do shit and hangs with his pretty and bubbly girlfriend that never challenges him. It's more tragic, thinking he also wants her back (even if for unhealthy, egotistical reasons) but he's too much of a coward to let go of societal expectations.

[@Trash0Princesse]

I love the musical but one aspect I don't like is that they sacrificed a crucial part of Elle's journey to give Emmett more to do. The whole 'Chip on your shoulder' sequence just doesn't live up to 'I'll show you how valuable Elle Woods can be'

[@filmfangirls9163]

​@Trash0Princesse I know alot of people who feel the same way as you do, but I personally love that change. If he didn't help her in that moment, I wouldn't be as invested in their relationship and I love Chip on Your Shoulder. It's my favorite part lol

Whenever I watch this movie I try to give Vivian the benefit of the doubt...like you don't get engaged out of nowhere which means Warner was likely cheating on both her and Elle, and I can't help but think her hatred for Elle might be because she found out that Warner was 'dicking around' and made some assumptions about the pretty blonde he was cheating with...still not great behaviour from her, but a little more understandable than randomly hating on some girl because she's high fem

[@PinkPopcast]

Honestly I didn’t have much issue with Vivian’s behavior (that’s all Benji) and I totally get that perspective! It would make sense if he cheated on Elle with Viv!

As a kid, I thought Warner lost because he graduated “without honors.” As an adult, I now know a straight white man from an uber wealthy family, who also gets a Harvard law degree, isn’t exactly suffering because of his grades. I wish they had written the ending better! Warner Drops out of school! Disinherited, with no real life skills!

Omg you’re so right 😅😅

[@pinksenshi9690]

​@@limitlesssoul2882I love the musical so much, lol

[@limitlesssoul2882]

In another thought, Warner didn't do anything to earn a "suffering" ending. He was just an inconsiderate/ crappy boyfriend. That's not the worst thing a white man can be/do. So him graduating without honor is an afterthought for the audience and Elle. We have moved on. Why should we care about him? Whatever happens to him, whatever he becomes is whatever

[@HarvestLockwood]

I love this movie because it celebrates women's friendships with each other and showcases different kinds of friendships, and the main character never stoops to the level of the villains even at her most desperate (like Cady's arc in Mean Girls). While some of the humor and that "he's gay!' jump in logic doesn't hold up 20 years later, Elle Woods is still a woman that girls can look up to, and that's saying something.
