Well I saw the first one so I may as well see the second one too. Also Kiera insisted that we both watch this.
Once again this is pretty much Reese Witherspoon's show, living it up in this role and being a charismatic force. Granted it could be argued that she is effectively carrying this movie but I had fun with this one and it was both funny and surprisingly triumphant. And is even more surprising is how much I gathered from the American legal process XD

Kiera chose this one XD
I do remember this movie from it's initial release in the early 2000s. But what is fascinating about this movie, to the outsider like myself, is the shelf life it has garnered since: A lot of people still think highly of it - indeed moreso than other rom-coms of it's era - and it has a successful musical to it's name. So there must a good a reason behind this endurance, right?

Well, I will admit there were some laugh-out-loud moments (thereby passing the first and foremost requirement of any comedy). And it certainly has a greater sense of identity that makes it stand out from the other rom-coms - which is another plus.
But in all honesty, what makes this movie for me is Reese Witherspoon herself, who has charismatic presence and is clearly having the time of her life. Is it enough to sell the movie however?
Well, if Legally Blonde's enduring appeal is set to continue then the answer would indeed be yes
