March 17, 2012Reese is cool. Barbie meets LA Law! Elle wants to marry Warner but gets dumped as he wants a serious girlfriend. He gets to Harvard and she is hot on his trail. Dog in tow.

September 24, 2011Finally got around to a rewatch of this. This is one of those films I loved at the time, but a dodgy sequel, followed by a third, even worse one had dulled the memory of the original. I haven't watched this one in about three years, and I wondered if there would ever come the d... read more

August 15, 2011Maybe a little to cheesy for my taste, but I laughed a couple of times, but still crap.

May 29, 2011This film was okay. It had some really great parts but had some really bad parts. It is worth a one time watch but I don't know why this is considered such a classic that has spawned it's own broadway musical.

March 14, 2011Loved the ending. The rest of the movie seemed very corny but enjoyable at the same time. Does have few funny and embarrassing moments.

January 29, 2011Not bad. Good for laughs. Witherspoon is a blond having more fun and ends up being likable.
-
January 13, 2011Sweet little piece of Saturday-night escapism. Reese Witherspoon hits the comedic notes, but I particularly dig the one dramatic moment at the law school party. After Warner benignly suggests that Elle stick to fashion marketing, Reese steps back - her big, blue eyes glazing ov... read more

It's a formula that's well done here with plenty of laughs. Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
They've devised a potentially rich premise, only to play it safe, smoothing off every sharp edge and dumbing down any acerbic point. Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
As an actor of distinction who's all of 25, Reese Witherspoon reveals interesting dark roots even as she plays golden girls. Full Review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Starts heading nowhere after the first half-hour, and careers and flounders badly until it gets there. Full Review

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

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

This might not work with anyone but Reese Witherspoon. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Witherspoon is so innately likable that the film goes along pleasantly enough. Full Review
