Where can I find Legally Blonde the movie?

The bend and snap turns 20 today! On July 13, 2001, the film Legally Blonde was released, and we were introduced to the bend and snap. History was made, and Elle Woods became an inspiration.

Reese Witherspoon brought the character, Elle Woods, to life with such energy and fashion sense. Legally Blonde is a comedy movie based on a novel of the same name by Amanda Brown. It is gained a bit of a cult following, and Witherspoon has stated that fans tell her that Elle was a true inspiration to them enrolling in law school.

The film follows Elle, a sorority sister of the Delta Nu House, whose main goal in life is social activities. She submits an outrageous entrance video to Harvard Law and is accepted. She wants to attend the prestigious college to follow the love of her life, Warner Huntington III. When she arrives at Harvard, she realizes she’s not in LA any longer. She doesn’t allow that to hinder her but pushes on to make a name for herself.

The sequel, Legally Blonde: Red, White and Blonde, gave us another chapter in Elle’s life. This film takes place after college when she moves to Washington DC for a job working for a congresswoman. In May 2020, Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor announced they would be writing a third film scheduled to release in May 2022.

Where to watch Legally Blonde

Body + Soul reported that the bend and snap was invented during a drunken night at a bar. The producer, Marc Platt and co-writers Karen McCallah and Kirsten Smith were trying to come up with a “B Plot” for Paulette. Over drinks, one night out, they came up with this over-the-top idea of the move, and history was made. The move, however absurd, was a genius idea, and anyone who has watched the film fondly remembers the scene.

Be sure to grab your snap cup and a group of friends to watch Legally Blonde on Netflix for the 20th anniversary of the film.

One of the persons I went with just wanted to see Reese Witherspoon in a Playboy bunny costume, so I figured I was in for another average run-'o-the-mill sex comedy. But I was very surprised with the outcome.

So many girl-power comedies these days are made just for the sake of trying to prove a point that women are equals to men (I suppose that's the message behind it--what else was "Now and Then" made for?) and/or support for women. Fortunately, the 2001 hit "Legally Blonde" is not only a pleasant surprise, but an intelligent film, as well. (Sorry, that was my main "gripper" for this review and I had to leave it in.)

Reese Witherspoon plays California sorority girl Elle Woods. Unlike other people her age that are worrying about grades in school, Elle only worries about what toilet paper is the softest. But after her boyfriend dumps her and goes off to Harvard Law School, Elle is determined to go to Harvard and get her man back. So after putting together a very shallow video for the chairmen of Harvard, they accept her into the prestige college (because of her innocent sexuality, no doubt, as we see them gaping at Elle in a bathing suit on the video), and she packs her bags and heads off to Harvard with her little dog Bruiser; as the ads say, "Boldly Going Where No Blonde Has Gone."

"Legally Blonde" doesn't give up on the plot and completely divulge into dumb blonde/sex jokes. This film not only has a funny--if ridiculous--plot, but the jokes are, surprisingly, NOT crude sexual jokes. This film is not another "Scary Movie" made for teens: It has divinely orchestrated comic timing.

Sometimes the plot gets a bit too heavy--the whole teacher-hitting-on-Elle thing is a bit stereotypical for a film like this--but in the long run it seems to break away from the typical girl-power comedy.

Reese Witherspoon tends to play the same characters a lot, but hey, if she can pull them off, good for her. I don't mind if all her characters tend to be the same (to a certain extent) because they tend to be quite funny and cute--who can't laugh at her Elle Woods persona?

The film has a very nice co-star cast: Victor Garber ("Titanic," "Sleepless in Seattle"), Luke Wilson ("Blue Streak," "Charlie's Angels"), and Selma Blair ("The Sweetest Thing," A Guy Thing"--pretty much anyTHING).

In the end, not only does "Legally Blonde" come off very funny, but also very witty, good-natured and sweet: One of the most pleasant surprises of 2001, indeed.

Elle Woods, a fashionable sorority queen, is dumped by her boyfriend. She decides to follow him to law school, but while there, she figures out that there is more to herself than just looks.
