Chad: Oh yeah? Which movie did you see?

Tanis: Legally Blonde. Have you heard of it?

Chad: Unfortunately I have. My wife made us rent that the other night and it actually was very surprising. I thought it be sort of a, a, sappy you know, little chick flick, but it was pretty good.

Tanis: I thought it was great. I had the best time watching it. I was just cracking up.

Chad: Yeah. Her, uh, Reese Witherspoon[/def]’s personality was quite, uh, original. I mean she was smart, but yet really quirky and funny.

Tanis: Yeah, I thought it was great how they kind of portrayed her to be an airhead in the beginning, but then she ended up being a real smart cookie.

Chad: Yeah. And her, her little dog liked Taco Bell[/def], like, it was pretty funny watching him, you know, jump up and and be amongst the students at Harvard[/def].

Tanis: Oh, you know the sad thing is when I lived in Southern California, I knew people that had that kind of life, but, uh, they were, they were fun too, but maybe not as fun as, uh, her character in that movie.

Reese Witherspoon (Elle) is a popular California blonde. She has everything going for her except a wedding proposal from her boyfriend Warner. Her boyfriend wants to go to law school and be a senator by the age of 30 and thinks that Elle wouldn’t make the right kind of wife. This doesn’t stop Elle from following Warner to Harvard Law School to prove that she is an intelligent women.
I feel that this movie helps demostrate that beautiful women can be smart and talented. It is a surprisingly good movie with Reese Witherspoon giving one of her most funny performances. Even though she is supposed to play a dumb blonde, she doesn’t give women a bad name during the movie.
Have you seen Legally Blonde? Did you like it? Was it annoying? Write me about it in the “Movie Madness” message board.
Good luck on the quiz!
