Legally Blonde

I’m not a huge Reese Witherspoon fan, but I have to admit this film is actually pretty darn good, and Reese does manage to pull off the “ditzy blond who – shock horror – is sharp as a knife.” There are both genuine “laugh out loud” and quite moving scenes, although this is never in danger of being a deep film. The relationships between the characters is the main appeal, and are handled very well, although, as expected, it corners like it’s on rails (both me and the missus had the entire film pegged within about 5 minutes of the opening credits). A good evening’s entertainment, and well worth renting.
