Reese Witherspoon stars in this romantic comedy, the feature film debut of award-winning Australian director Robert Luketic. As a ravishing Miss Hawaiian Tropic, sorority president, and calendar girl, Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is a big hit on the campus of her sun-drenched Los Angeles college. She's also got the perfect boyfriend in Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis), a wealthy East Coast blue blood. Fearing that his snooty friends and family will never accept the bubble-headed Elle, however, Warner dumps her before heading off to graduate law school at Harvard University. Determined to win back her man, Elle enrolls in the same imposing institution, quickly becoming an object of scorn and ridicule, especially to Warner's old prep school flame (Selma Blair). Despite her penchant for malls, makeup, and tanning, Elle is no dummy and is soon showing elite Ivy League snobs a thing or two about class, self-confidence, and courtroom victory. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

The underdog has her day in the 2001 comedy Legally Blonde. MGM has done a very good job on this 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, making sure that the pastel colors and flesh tones are bright and bold. A near-perfect transfer, =Legally Blonde sparkles while having no edge enhancement, shimmer, or digital artifacting present anywhere during the film. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 (as well as Dolby 2.0 in Spanish and French). Directional effects are utilized mainly during scenes that feature rock or pop songs playing over different visual montages. Overall dialogue, music, and effects are all clear of any distortion or hiss. Also included on this disc are English, French, and Spanish subtitles. =Legally Blonde features some well-produced extra materials for viewers to peruse through. Starting off the supplements are two commentary tracks: one by director Robert Luketic, producer Mark Platt, and actress Reese Witherspoon; and the second by various crew members and writers. Both of these tracks are very informative and fun, especially the first track with Reese Witherspoon joking around about her mammoth hair changes. To compliment these commentary tracks is a "Trivia Tack" that includes information bubbles on the film that can be played while the movie is running. Two featurettes are included, "Inside Legally Blonde" and "The Hair That Ate Hollywood," and both include interviews with both cast and crew discussing their thoughts and ideas on the final film. Finally, there are eight deleted scenes (with introductions by the director) that run about 15 minutes long, a music video by singer Hoku, and a theatrical trailer for Legally Blonde and the DVD release of The Princess Bride. All in all =Legally Blonde is a great disc from MGM and is acquitted of all charges against it. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
