Legally Blonde is a funny movie. I liked it because I could relate to Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) being lost at first and then catching up towards the end.

The movie starts with Elle being the head of her sorority; Delta Nu and having the whole sorority wish her luck for her engagement to Warren Huntington III (Matt Davis). When she sees Warren, she is avidly envisioning him bending down on one knee and holding a ring box in his hand, proposing to her. But, no, it was to announce Warren's breakup to Elle because he wanted a more serious girlfriend to accompany his budding political career (going on to Harvard Law is his first step). Elle, after hearing the news, is devastated, and everyone in the restaurant could tell. After their breakup, Elle then was depressed for a bit and then is determined to follow Warren to Harvard Law to hopefully win him back. Things do not turn out well at first when no one could take her seriously because of the way she dresses and of her out-going personality. Emmett Richmond (Luke Wilson), an associate attorney, then tells her the tricks to survive the professors. She then befriends her manicurist, Paulette Bonafonté (Jennifer Coolidge). Eventually, throughout the movie, Elle slowly successes her way to scoring an internship with Professor Callahan along with Vivian Kensington (Selma Blair), Warren's fiancée; and Warren. At the end [~SPOILER ALERT~], Elle gets hired as an attorney and she saves the day. Three years later, she graduates with high honors, get hired at a prestigious law firm in Boston and gets engaged to Emmett. Warren proposed to her at the end but she rejected. She and Vivian are good friends and happily ever after.

All I can say is that Elle is one smart, determined blonde. It seems that what you can learn from this movie is that if you want it, you work hard for it, and you will achieve it. Plus, hair color makes no difference.
