-Reese
Witherspoon
In
the
sharply
funny
LEGALLY
BLONDE,
Reese
Witherspoon
gives
a
glittering
performance
as
Elle
Woods,
the
natural
blonde
sorority
queen
who
enrolls
at
Harvard
Law
School.
When
she
first
appears,
Elle
seems
to
be
no
more
than
the
bright
cousin
of
CLUELESS's
Alicia
Silverstone.
Expecting
her
boyfriend
Warner
Huntington
III
(Matthew
Davis)
to
propose,
she
is
mortified
when
instead
he
says
he
needs
somebody
serious
as
his
wife.
When
Elle
discovers
Warner's
brother
is
engaged
to a
law
student,
she
decides
to
go
to
Harvard.
She
studies
for
the
LSATs,
submits
a
video
essay--in
which
she
appears
in a
sequined
bikini--and,
miraculously,
is
accepted.
At
first,
Elle
is
rebuked
by
Professor
Stromwell
(Holland
Taylor)
and
is
the
target
of
snide
comments
from
other
students.
But,
gradually,
it
becomes
clear
that
Elle
is
no
fish
out
of
water--she
is
smarter,
more
driven,
and
more
likely
to
survive
in
the
rarefied
Harvard
atmosphere
than
anyone
else.
Witherspoon
gets
fine
support
from
Selma
Blair
as
Warner's
new
fiancee,
Jennifer
Coolidge
as a
beautician,
Victor
Garber
as
an
unscrupulous
professor,
Ali
Larter
as a
client
from
Elle's
sorority,
Holland
Taylor,
and
Luke
Wilson
as a
lawyer
fascinated
by
Elle's
unconventional
approach.
The
smart,
witty
script
is
by
Karen
McCullah
and
Kirsten
Smith.
The
first-time
director
is
28-year-old
Australian
Robert
Luketic.
