Glad I recorded this from TV - now I an erase it. I almost turned it off a few times, while watching it, but stuck it out to the end. See it on TV or rent it, is my advice.Movie Review: A movie of surprising depth.
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this video expecting a cute, mindless piece of fluff for a relaxing evening's entertainment. What I got was so much more than I bargained for. True, many of the plot twists are pure far-fetched fantasy, but the basic premise was solid, and worked a charm. The primary conflict of the story line was certainly original - New England conservatism vs Left Coast consumerism is not a motif we find every decade, much less every day, in a film of any genre, and certainly not in a comedy of this nature. The gradual maturing of a group of college graduates from widely different backgrounds, as they pursue their dreams and goals at Harvard Law School could have been an excuse for a morass of schtick and slapstick. Instead, it was a sensitive, if amusing coming of age for all the protagonists, including, in the end analysis, some of the older characters.
The acting was above average; it takes enormous skill to play a r?le like Elle Woods - intelligent, determined and resourceful while appearing a stereotypical blonde bimbo - and play it convincingly. And if some (most, actually!) of the serendipities of the plot were less than convincing, some great acting and quite exceptional dialog made up for the poor underpinnings. I'm not a great fan of Reese Witherspoon, but certainly appreciate the panache with which she pulled this one off. There were also some sterling supporting performances, notably by Selma Blair as the rival, who gradually evolves from a horsey country-clubber into a stunning beauty as the film progresses (with appropriate character development from a snooty bitch to a warm friend).
I was particularly impressed by some of the photography in this production. Pay close attention to the shadows in the poolside scene with the Woods family at the beginning of the film! Later, the private interview between Elle and Professor Callahan shows just how much can be conveyed in a handful of seconds of outstanding camera work. And the elevator scene immediately following gets my vote as one of the finest pieces of cinema photography of 2001.
There aren't many films that I would consider worth watching more than once, and even fewer that I have liked enough to want to own them. This one is going to find its way into my personal collection.
Movie Review: very entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
A very smart young woman from California decides at the last minute she wants to go to Harvard Law School to get her very shallow man back. In the end she gets serious and proves to herself that she is too good for him anyway. It's a good story made great by all the humor along the way. I really loved her Harvard admissions video, the little dog bruiser, and maybe best of all was the loud wimpering scene in the restaurant. I've watched the movie several times, and still find myself laughing my way through it. Highly recommended.Movie Review: One to watch, rewatch, and watch again
Summary: 5 Stars
I love when a blonde, assumed air-head, realizes her dreams. She even goes far beyond what she thought she wanted. She is lovely, funny, smart, honest, and hard-working. Who wouldn't love her? So glad this movie was made.
