*BEST COMEDY EVER?!* Legally Blonde (2001) Reaction: FIRST TIME WATCHING 

I love how she didn’t change out of the bunny outfit to buy the computer - girl was on a _mission_ and she wasn’t about to let a few stares stop her!

what's more amazing about her LSATs score is that she needed at least a 175 to pass, and she got a 179, which is only ONE POINT below a perfect score, meaning she probably only got like 1 question wrong

Something that a lot of people miss: when Warner asks about the costume, Elle pointedly does not throw Vivian under the bus, and just says she did it on her own. It's Vivian fault and she's Warners fiance, but she STILL didn't tell on her.

This is such a ground-breaking movie, especially for 2001. The fact that Ellie went there for Warner but in the end realised he didn't deserve her and she actually started being there for herself. And yes, she found love with Emmett but that wasn't the focus of the movie. Also she didn't have to change. She still liked fashion and make-up and pink while being a kick ass law student. She showed people everywhere that you don't have to chose between looks and books.

One of my favorite things about Elle is while despite her obvious LA look she’s not a stereotypical LA “mean girl”. She’s so nice to everyone 😭❤️

11:54 the real brilliance of the way she says this doesn't truly pay off until later, when we find out he only got in because he pulled some strings with his dad, and SHE got in on her own merits.

To prepare for her role as Elle Woods, Reese Witherspoon spent two weeks studying the behavior of sorority girls, as she did not wish to portray a stereotypical airhead sorority image. She states on the DVD commentary that they were all very kind and polite, and she enjoyed her time with them. She also observed women shopping from the café at Neiman Marcus, and attended law school for a day.

Reese Witherspoon was perfect in this role.

It is more amazing when you realize the maximum score on the LSAT is 180! Scoring a 179 means she only failed one question!! 👏🏻 scoring a 99 basically out of 100

I really enjoy Luke Wilson’s subtle acting

I really like the message of first she goes to Harvard for the wrong reason but she realizes the error and starts to do it for herself instead. I also like that Vivian and her become friends in the end, I think Vivian was blinded by her jealousy of Elle and it caused her to dislike her even though she knew nothing about her, clearly the stereotyping that she was the pretty popular girl type was another factor. But once she got to know her better she realized she was an honorable person who wouldn't throw people to the wolves just to get ahead in life unlike Warner. And Warner probably never told Vivian he only dumbed Elle because he needed a "Jackie" at his side for his political career.

Oh man, this is my all-time comfort movie! I watch it every time I'm sick or just not having a good time in life, and it always makes me feel better. Elle is just so supportive, kind, and confident about who she is -- whereas you might expect her vibe to be more Regina from 'Mean Girls' if you hadn't seen the movie -- and it is the best kind of positivity for when I'm feeling crummy.

It must have been so insulting to Warner when Elle claimed it wasn’t hard getting into law school when he got waitlisted. That’s probably partly why he was so shocked aside from him not believing she’s intelligent.

Originally, the movie was supposed to end with Emmett proposing to Elle but test audiences didn’t like it. They changed it to the graduation ending, and the proposal being like a footnote. Some of the actors weren’t even available to come back and film so they were added in later. I love that the ending was about her growth as a person, and not about the guy.

It’s so fun watching someone who genuinely didn’t know what was going to happen- with classics like these it feels like even if someone hasn’t seen it they know the plot. Real sweet :)

I really love the redemption of Vivian's character, she starts off as the love interest antagonist, but as she learns how spineless and sleazy Warner is, and how good hearted and principled Elle is, she becomes one of her best friends.

I died laughing at your reactions "it looks like a bathrobe but with a tie"

This is one of my all-time favorites. Elle is a feminist icon. She proves that you can be feminine AND smart and driven. Groundbreaking for the time.

I was cracking up when he said “what’s a perm?” Sometimes I forget that not everyone knows what a perm or relaxer is.

"What exactly is a perm?"... Adorable (said in the most non condescending tone possible) 😅😉

Reese was in "Cruel Intentions," "Pleasantville," "Sweet Home Alabama" & won the Oscar for Best Actress as June Cash in "Walk The Line." Vivian was played by Selma Blair and you knew Professor Callahan (Victor Garber) from "Titanic." They should do a movie with her character and Alicia Silverstone's from "Clueless" (since her dad was a lawyer in that movie).

Definitely one of the best fashion-based comedy/dramas is The Devil Wears Prada from 2006. It isn't 90s, but it is worth a watch, especially since you have Meryl Streep & Anne Hathaway in it. Miss Congeniality from 2000 with Sandra Bullock & Michael Caine is a fun one too.

"Cortés burned his ships" is possibly the best line I've ever heard in any reaction to this movie 😂 Well done!

I saw this title on another video for this movie but it said "Legally Blonde walked so Barbie could run". Yes this and Clueless are the original Barbies for me. And absolutely iconic!

17:18 That's Victor Garber. He's had a long Broadway career on stage and has been in tons of things on screen as well, so there's no telling what you've seen him in. Maybe in Titanic as the the ship's designer? Or in the T.V. show Alias as the father of Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner)? He earned 3 Emmy nominations for that T.V. role.

The counselor said she needed at least a 175 to get in. The LSAT question we heard was a real sample question from the actual test. This is one of the few instances that implements the "study with distractions" method, and it pays off. Basically: never try to study quietly. It'll do nothing but make it worse for when you take the actual test. You study with distractions, anything quieter will feel like a piece of cake. And on the flip side: if it is noisy, now you're used to it. And as for her score: A perfect score is a 180. And she got a 179.

The guy who played David Kidney (aka, the guy who de-wormed orphans in Somalia!) is the son of Anthony Perkins, who played Norman Bates in Psycho. Fun fact.

for the 2000s it is so rare that Vivi and Ellie end up being friends bc during that time girls got put up against each other so much in media

I loved seeing this movie again here! Reese Witherspoon was MADE for this role lol

Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion (1997) is a much underrated film. Not many have reacted to it. Enjoy!

I’ve been kicked out of a college class as well! It was dual credit and I was still a sophomore in high school but I was in a class with a lot of young adults. To put it short, I was blamed for talking when the teacher walked into the room. 🙄 I was also dumped on Valentines Day after a 3 year relationship in the middle of a 5 start restaurant. So I’ve been Elle a couple of times. I was also in a sorority😅

If that “exercise gives you endorphins” argument was valid, the Blade Runner guy would have been innocent!

I also always found this similar to Clueless. In that they both have the popular fashionable, attractive rich girl. but both with good hearts rather than being mean girls, And both seeming ditzy, but still being smart in their own way.

If you are prone to motion sickness, The Blair Witch Project was a horrible experience, especially in the theater. I left a trail of vomit from the theater doors all the way to the toilet in the restroom. It left me with a case of vertigo and I stayed in bed for two days.

The craziest Reece movie is pretty unknown but it's called Freeway with her and Kiefer Sutherland, Brooke Shields, not a comedy just insane, love it!!

A movie you might enjoy is 'the secret garden'. It's a book adaptation and a very good one! Dame Maggy Smith is in this (the great actress who played Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter ❤).

Someone copied my comment from another video but this movie was groundbreaking in 2001. Elle went to Harward for a guy and stayed for herself. She also found love with someone who truly loved her. She gained respect from the people who used to look down on her for being a "dumb blonde" but still kept her femininity. It was indeed based on a book by Amanda Brown. There was a sequel (although not good as this one) and the 3rd one is in the works. There is also a Broadway musical which premiered in 2007. Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair (Vivian) starred in Cruel Intentions together, along with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese's ex Ryan Phillippe. Victor Garber (Callahan) has been in a bunch of stuff but you probably recognise him from Titanic as Thomas Andrews, the designer of the ship. Luke Wilson (Emmett) had his film debut with his brother Owen Wilson in Bottle Rocket. Jennifer Coolidge (Paulette) was hilarious in a teen rom-com called A Cinderella Story and on the short-lived Friends spin-off Joey. Ali Larter (Brooke) was in Final Destination. Linda Cardellini (Chutney) was Velma in the Scooby Doo movies. Holland Taylor (Prof. Stromwell) has been in a bunch of stuff like Two and a Half Men and The Practice. Raquel Welch (ex-Mrs. Windham), who died earlier this year, was also in a bunch like The Three Musketeers. And Matthew Davis (Warner) was in The Vampire Diaries. Fun fact: A perfect score on the LSATs is 180 and Elle got 179. Also, the last scene with Elle and Warner outside the courtroom and the graduation scene were not a part of the original script. The two scenes were shot in England some time later because Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Davis were filming there at the time (you can see her hair and make-up are different from the scene before). They were also the only ones present during the graduation scene. The other actors filmed in LA and the whole thing was edited together later.

love your reaction , if you havent seen them i recommend "Charlie's Angels" , "She's the man" and "Miss Congeniality" , those are classics and a must watch , the princess diaries movies are good too , maybe just the first one thou that is worth checking out

I just have one more comment. I don’t want to get too deep here, but I do have some things to say. So, the woman who played Chutney was Linda Cardellini, who is actually quite the brilliant actress. I very highly recommend seeing a series she’s in called Dead To Me, where she stars opposite actress Christina Applegate. The lady who played Vivian Kensington is Selma Blair who is also a great actress. Actresses Selma Blair and Christina Applegate have both sadly been diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Selma has spoken publically about it and there are even some documentaries you can watch about her life. She has had some very unfortunate and tragic things happen to her in her lifetime. Christina Applegate along with the help of close friend, Linda Cardellini, who helped her up to the podium, did an acceptance speech when she received her Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame. Christina and Linda developed a very strong bond working together on Dead To Me. Dead to Me will likely be Christina’s last acting role, because on the set of the show she was barely able to make it through filming without the use of a wheelchair and lots of help. At this point, she is retired. Both of these women are strong and admirable and they have my undying empathy. I’ve always loved them and will truly miss them when they are gone. Here’s to hoping that both Selma and Christina have a blessed and fruitful life surrounded with lots of love and support.

Yo nick, you got to this one pretty fast. Not sure if you were aware that Legally Blonde was done by the same female comedic writing team (Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith) that did 10 Things I Hate About You, which you just of course, reacted to. Speaking of which, The House Bunny and She’s the Man are also worth checking out.

"Walk the Line" Reese Witherspoon really shines as June Carter

LSAT is a special SAT for law school.

I recommend Can't Hardly Wait, She's All That, Empire Records and That Thing You Do

15:05 No no no, my friend, that is the brilliance of this scene. He was seeing them both AT THE SAME TIME! That's why he said, "I need a Jackie, not a Marilyn." Vivian was the girlfriend, Elle was the "mistress".

You have to watch She’s the Man. One of my favorite 2000s comedies. It’s so unhinged, but so funny! Makes for a really fun reaction.

I’ve got some suggestions! 😃 - For richer or poorer. (Kirstie Alley & Tim Allen) -Jumpin Jack Flash. (Whoopi Goldberg) -Ruthless people. (Bette Midler & Danny DeVito) -What lies beneath. (Michelle Pfeiffer & Harrison Ford) -Just like heaven. (Reese Witherspoon) -Romancing the stone (Kathleen Turner & Michael Douglas) -Last Holiday (Queen Latifah) -Never been kissed (Drew Barrymore) -Howl’s Moving Castle (Ghibli studios)

I love this movie, I assume you know the professor Callahan from Titanic.

Man, you have such a good laugh, I always enjoy your reactions a lot. The Princess Diaries is really good so now I'm looking forward to that one. On another note, for future series slots, you would be a really good reactor for Hannibal!

13 going on 30, What a girl wants, She’s the man, Miss Congeniality, The Proposal, Jawbreaker, Love Hard :)

Reese Witherspoon kills it in her role as June Carter in the Johnny Cash movie (I'm sorry I can't think of the name of it)

Miss Congeniality -- basically, anything with Sandra Bullock --

In the Broadway play, Vivian catches on to what happened with Elle and the professor and tries to back her up instead of throwing accusations right away. It seemed like people didn't like the old trope of victim blaming through miscommunication.

"That's the same as SAT, right?" No, the LSATs are harder. The SAT is the standardized test you take at the end of high school to get into college. The LSAT is similar to the MCAT: both are standardized tests you take after college to get into a post-college program (LSAT for law school, MCAT for med school).

My family had this on dvd but for some reason I only ended up watching legally blondes (the sequel about the twins that did very badly and very few people know about) I recently went overseas and on the plane it had legally blonde as one of the film options to watch. I said why not let’s give it a try and man I was hooked. The film has so much charm and the casting was really good in this, Reese did a fantastic job she was such a likeable protagonist It was nice to have a lead who’s kind and caring but also not really care what others thought of her, and that she’s really intelligent but people take her for granted because of her physical appearance, I like how her friends and the girls from the sorority were all so supportive of her even though sometimes they did not understand what was going on, the “you bitch” never fails to make me laugh, and professor Callahan hitting on Elle was such a shocking moment for me when I first watched it, unfortunately it felt like one of the most realistic things that happened in the film which made me a bit sad

You definitely need to watch when Harry Met, Sally, starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal.

My mom hated that I would watch this movie everyday for years when I was in highschool. I seriously related to this character in the sense that I always felt out of place among my peers because of my bubbly personality

Omg no way that’s such a nice surprise this is a legendary film franchise 🍿

Please please react to “Can’t Hardly Wait”. It’s one of my favorites of it’s genre. Along with “10 things I hate about you”and “Empire Records”. I can’t remember if you’ve reacted to 10 things, but both of these would be great as well! I haven’t watched this video yet, but I’m excited to watch! It’s a fun movie and I always enjoy your reactions.

The Sleazy attorney is played by Victor Garber. He has been on Titanic, DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, Flash (TV show), sleepless In Seattle. Along with a number of other tv shows and movies

I remember so clearly watching this movie on TV with my Dad. When it went to commercial, he picked up a DVD off the table, flung it on the ground, then loudly said “OH! I think I dropped something!”. And proceeded to do the bend and snap 😂

You didn't catch the , I'm so stupid, line. "If I'm going to be a Senator by the time I'm 30....." The Constitution requires Senators to be 35.

Love Jennifer Coolidge!

There's an amazing video here on RU-vid about Elle being "new money" versus Warner and Vivien being "old money". Really interesting discourse on class and socio-economic status in the United States. There's a much deeper layer.

This one's actually a little like Buffy. Both confronting stereotypes about pretty blond girls and more. And if you're watching older movies, I'd recommend Ladyhawke and Flight of the Navigator. They aren't romcoms but Ladyhawke is at least a romance and has a few jokes in it with Matthew Broderick's character.

Please please do a reaction to the film.... cruel intentions.

One of the few intelligent "chick flicks." I recommend Mean Girls, She's the Man and Bridesmaids as well. Pretty sure you've already done Clueless

Please watch Big Fat Liar. It's my favourite childhood comedy with Frankie Muniz, Amanda Bynes, Paul Giamatti and Donald Faison

The actor who plays the awkward David Kidney is the son of Anthony Perkins, the star of the classic Hitchcock movie “Psycho”.

Nick your laugh is infectuous! ❤😂

Those were real frat boys cheering the girl on the bike. They happened to wander by while they were filming, and they got put in.

I love how Ellie is positive and optimistic, but she's also brave and works hard and she's genuinely smart. Like she takes shit so gracefully and I'd be like 4 types or broken in the same situation. Shes so loyal and has a very sturdy moral compass.

I know some people don’t like sequels but I think the next legally blonde is definitely worth the watch! In addition to the musical. I love everything about legally blonde

I do love this movie. Its so charming, silly, but has heart! I'd highly suggest "That Thing You Do!" (Extended edition is best) Tom Hanks movie.. Written be, and directed. It's on of my all time favorite movies!

The musical of this is awesome too. I definitely recommend the soundtrack. The book of this absolutely sucks by the way sadly, I love this movie so much and the book was a massive let down.

"When you try to follow a youtube tutorial" that's so real 🤣🤣 I love your reactions and movie choices! Miss Congeniality and this? Yes, please!

You never told us your story about getting kicked out of class 😂

Oh god, I know this is not your "field of expertise" but I do really recommend the musical based on this, it's really fun :)

33:34 every time I watch this, I want to know the story behind the greatest one-line part in any movie ever. What was the audition like? Did this guy ever work again? Does he re-enact that moment to all his loved ones (because I definitely would)?

“What’d you think I’d look like as a blonde?” Way too much like your brother 😂

This was my brother's fave when it came out. He watched it so much,that I was very much sucked in. One of my favorite comedies of the 2000s. One of those feel good films you pop in the VHS (it was one of the many last films made on VHS tape) & eat soup cause you are at home sick on a Tuesday. Yes. We both did the bend & snap.

Don't know if anyone has pointed this out but Reese Witherspoon auditioned for the role of Cher in Clueless. Kerry Washington auditioned for the role of Dionne. The two ended up making a show together "Little Fires Everywhere" in 2020 Another good Reese Comedy from 1999 "Election" It is a dark comedy.

Cortez burned his ships...that he did!! I was of an age when this came out and i just loved her unshakable confidence in herself. Dream big, girls! I mean, what, like it's hard?? 😊

So funny, thanks for the reaction!

There's one specific message from this movie that i really appreciate even in today's age, which is that women don't need to tone down their femininity to gain respect. I think at times people can feel that they have to act more masculine and serious or just underplay their more feminine qualities or otherwise it undermines their respectability, which is of course both sexist and toxic. I really love that this movie said "screw that!"

I was 14 when this movie came out and YES my friends and i did the bend and snap😂

So, I want to say that I appreciate this reaction to this movie. I've seen a few other reactions of Legally Blonde but none are as intentional and respectful. Great job!

This is one of my favorite rewatch videos. The ones I have to rewatch anytime they are on, especially reaction videos. She is also in two of my other favorite rewatch movies: Pleasantville and one even Reese Witherspoon fans don’t always know about- Freeway. I definitely recommend both- the former is big feels and good vibes, the latter is a psychological thriller/comedy. Some of my other favorite rewatch movies: Blast from the Past, Fried Green Tomatoes, & Where the Heart Is.

I’m so happy you reacted to this movie and even more happy you liked it! It’s my comfort movie 💜 Some suggestions for future reactions : • She’s the man • 13 going on 30

I won’t be having salad is one of my fave moments as someone who watched this movie a thousand times haha

I wouldn't say"best comedy ever"but this scene 37:55 - 39:18 is *absolute gold* and the movie is a must seen even just for that!!😎💗 P.S. As an Italian it drives me _CRAZY_ to hear the term"latte"used improperly! It literally means MILK!!!You just said you had a glass of MILK!!!🥛 0:09:54 -09:59 Well..she's _literally_ seeing the world through pink lenses,so...😉

Watch Can’t Hardly Wait!! A bunch of Buffy cast members make an appearance, and it’s a great 90s rom com!!

My best friends wedding! A must watch!

"So you're breaking up with me because I'm too.....BLONDE???" Classic. 😎

You should watch -Sweet Home Alabama its a Reese Witherspoon comedy/romance

On the subject of suggestions, the top 6 2000s movies coming to mind RN are Freaky Friday, A Cinderella Story (also starring Jennifer Coolidge), Sleepover, Aquamarine, Big Fat Liar, and Mean Girls. If you haven't seen any of these, I highly recommend, especially Aquamarine as a summer watch.

"What, like it's hard?" I recently applied to a Master's program and my friend who was proof reading for me told me several times that they are looking for students who are "serious." I'm a happy person in general, my disposition has nothing to do with whether or not I can do the work or be serious about my topic... Yes, I'm a natural blonde.😉I got in btw and start my program next month.

As a reminder, Elle got a 179 on her LSATs. The highest possible score is a 180…

The bend and snap, 83% of the time, it works Every Time!

I used the endorphins line, like 2 days ago. Trying to start working out with my guy 😂

hello future alaric saltzman (the vampire diaries, originals, legacies..) 😊
