"There's nothing I love better than a dumb blonde with Daddy's plastic." - Boutique Saleswoman

Why watch this? Reese proves that a blonde can be dintzy, yet simultaneously very intelligent.

Plot Summary: Elle Woods, a fashionable sorority president, is dumped by her boyfriend, Warner, who is headed to Harvard Law School and believes she isn't serious enough for his future political aspirations. Determined to win him back, Elle studies hard, gets a high score on her LSATs, and is accepted into Harvard Law herself, hoping to prove her intelligence and seriousness to Warner.

Dad's Preview: With this film, Ms. Witherspoon gained real "cred" with audiences. It's 100% her film - she carries it, like totally. The very sorority and fashion-minded Elle is dumped by her Harvard-bound boyfriend because, well, she's not Harvardy-enough. This fuels her determination to get into that Ivy school and win him back. It's wonderful Rom-Com fare, and Elle's energetic tactics are a thing of beauty. Like... duh!
