Overall Call:
Legally Blonde was the complete antithesis of Jump Tomorrow (also reviewed this week). This one was complete Hollywood contrivance. I really appreciate Reese Witherspoon and her performance is excellent once again. She is the main reason this film succeeded for me. I cared for the other characters but you've met them all before, in zillions other movies. What saved the reconstituted characters were fairly decent stabs at them by the actors. If the packaging of this film seems like something you would be interested in check it out you'll enjoy it.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Reese Whiterspoon's portrayal
+ A handful of successful jokes
