Okay Okay I will admit before today I have never watched nor had any desire to watch Legally Blonde. I don't set out to be THAT person that goes against the grain; I am just not drawn to frilly girly movies with pink and fluff. However, recently I have been watching the MTV TV show about the Legally Blonde musical. This week I fell in love with the song OMIGOD the title may sound silly; but the range of the song is truly remarkable. That brings me today when I decided to rent the movie Legally Blonde and see what all the hype is about.
My oh My!
What I discovered is that there is a little of Elle in all of us. Wanting to please someone else and making someone else our dream then, realizing that there is more to life than a relationship and the hope that you can do anything your heart desires. Like many other famous Broadway Shows the story offers hope and inspiration. Even in a character like Elle Woods-whom, we would all love to hate. And as much as I hate to admit it this is the film that really drove Witherspoon's career. All the ingredients for a brillant success were present: Selma and Witherspoon had worked together before so they had the experience to pull off a brillant match up on screen, the movie clueless was produced a few years earlier so the writers knew this type of material would sell, and there was more to the story than girl finding herself.
I love the script, I love the characters, and most importantly I love the ideas proposed in this movie. Legally Blonde inspires all of us to reach inside and make a little difference in our lives and the lives of those around us!
