Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is a California blonde with couture clothes (mostly pink), fabulous friends and the hottest boyfriend on campus. So when Warner Huntington III suddenly dumps her and heads to Harvard Law School, Elle takes matters into her own manicured hands. She enrolls too! Now getting Warner back should be a snap (well, maybe a bend and snap), right? Wrong! Elle's about to begin the toughest fight of her life...for love, honor, justice and respect for blondes everywhere!
"In 2001, Reese Witherspoon was already on her way to becoming a household name. But it would be the feminist masterpiece Legally Blonde that would cement her status as a Hollywood star. [Her character Elle Woods] remains an emblem for challenging stereotypes and embracing female empowerment in the face of misogyny. By refuting the 'dumb blonde' trope, Elle has become beloved for her sincerity and her insistence on unapologetically being herself." —Ilana Kaplan, The New York Times
