Blondes may or may not have more fun, but in this one case, they certainly provide more fun.

Witherspoon goes further, pouring so much humor and pizzazz into Elle that she lifts up the whole movie.

Such a great movie. Reese is so full of energy and joy and life that she makes you smile every time she's on screen. One of my favorites!

Un clásico de los 2000 y en lo personal forma parte de mi infancia, tiene un potente mensaje sobre la autosuperación y creer en uno mismo mientras juega de manera muy acertada con la guerra de sexos o como quieran llamarle, hay machismo y feminismo a partes iguales, pero nunca tocando los extremos.

Witherspoon turns in yet another stellar, nuanced comic performance.

Like all blond jokes, Legally Blonde is basically meanspirited, and that's when it's funniest.

I half-admire its exquisite balancing act, squeezing laughs out of its leading lady's wardrobe, vocabulary, gestures, and cretinously oblivious Beverly Hills sense of entitlement, while simultaneously demonstrating her brilliance, sturdy ethics, and unflappable egalitarianism.

The character as written is incoherent, but Ms. Witherspoon has the reflexes to make Elle both appealing and ridiculous. It's funny -- in that slightly queasy, un-P.C. Doris Day kind of way.

Really nothing more than "Clueless" redux but without the edgy, knowing wit.

This is such an adorable movie! It makes every girl remember why pink was thier favorite color in elementary school. Elle Woods is a great role model, she takes in the best and worst moments of life with a cheerful laugh. I wish my dorm room would look like hers :). I am so excited to see the sequel!

电影以哈佛法学院为背景，小说中是以南加州大学和斯坦福大学为背景。因为哈佛大学不允许在校园内进行商业电影拍摄，所以，影片中许多哈佛大学的场景，是在南加州大学拍摄的。不过，南加州大学因考虑到电影中展示的女生联谊会的简短场景，难以描绘其校园内良好学术环境，因此拒绝让影片使用其学院的名称

Any early potential this film has as a comedy gets drowned out quickly by the self-indulgent, preachy whine of "See? Girls can do smart stuff too!"
