Reese Witherspoon probably has no idea how many law careers she helped launch by playing this role...lol (years ago I met an attorney who said this movie got her started in law.)
Everyone: You're gonna sue the US government? LegalEagle: What, like it's hard?
This movie is also great because of how Elle doesn't change her core self. Everyone around her keeps saying she can't succeed, or if she's gonna she has to be a totally different person. Elle proved all she really had to change was her priorities, because she had everything she needed to succeed inside her already.
I can't believe legally blonde which is a comedy actually has more technically correct scenes than shows like how to get away with murder and suits lol
She was purposefully, using legal jargon to confuse the man into giving up the dog. She assessed his intelligence and she knew that by spewing random phrases she was learning in class, she sounded more real to the man.
Objection: you didn’t review the actual trial where Elle wins. Request that the rest of the evidence be examined
Objection: You ignored Elle's cross examination of Chutney, which was a perfect example of how her diverse background helped her win the case. Additionally, the seeking of Brooke's alibi was dismissed too quickly. Request for further examination.
objection: elle was clearly using legal, impressive sounding words to intimidate paulette’s ex husband - not actually trying to form clear and coherent sentences.
I love how he mentioned that you shouldn't do a video essay, but he never mentioned that you shouldn't be in a BIKINI IN YOUR LAW SCHOOL APPLICATION
he didn’t even review THE most crucial part of the film.... the ending court?!
I had not thought of that. She could be a lawyer specializing in fashion industry cases or law. Plenty of fashion companies or designers file lawsuits for others stealing their designs as well as other issues pertaining to the fashion company. She would be great to carve out a niche as a lawyer with expertise in the fashion industry.
"I'm a lawyer." is a solid pickup line for the wrong kind of people.
That office scenes always makes me so sad and mad because elle was so excited about the idea of her professor believing in her and wanting to help her and then how her face just falls
my sister became a lawyer because of legally blonde LMAO when she got admitted to the bar she literally showed up in a hot pink suit she's blonde, too 💀💀💀
I've always loved Legally Blonde, they broke the dumb blonde trope in the most epic way possible. I also think the part at the beginning when she's checking out the dress could've been included as well as the later scene with the discussion about the perm. Both scenes show her attention to details- like how she remembered that same dress was already in a magazine months ago and how she remembered that no one ever takes a shower right after getting a perm.
Objection! Seriously? The final court scene about the “perms” is not discussed? That’s like the pinnacle of victory for Elle in this movie and it wasn’t discussed? Booooo.
Legal Eagle: "99% of comments will be saying they're so happy to hear Legally Blonde is finally getting reviewed." Actual Comment Section: "WHERE IS THE FINAL CASE?!?!"
Me knowing legally blonde isn’t going to accurate, but also knowing it’s one of the best film
I’ve never understood why a degree in fashion merchandising is seen as a negative in the film. The keyword is merchandising; Elle is essentially studying business & marketing, just with a focus on the fashion industry. She has a 4.0 GPA, which means she’s acing all her courses. Not just the fashion ones, but the business ones as well. It makes perfect sense for someone with a background in business to go into law, especially with a focus on an industry as huge as fashion.
