Blonde sorority queen Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is dumped by her politically-ambitious boyfriend because she's "a Marilyn, not a Jackie." So she enrolls in Harvard Law School in hopes of proving to him she is smart and winning him back. Reese is charming and lovely as ever. It's impossible to dislike her in this movie. Holland Taylor, Victor Garber, Luke Wilson, Selmer Blair, Matthew Davis, and Ali Larter are all part of the wonderful supporting cast. Jennifer Coolidge is the movie's scene stealer, which will probably come as no surprise to anyone who's seen her in anything. Well-paced with a good script and solid direction. It overcomes its predictable elements and exceeds expectations. Sure it's light and fluffy but there's nothing wrong with that. It's the kind of movie that puts a smile on your face right from the start and never lets you down.
