"Legally Blonde" is based on an unpublished book by Amanda Brown.

"Legally Blonde" is cute and entertaining, but the disc gets by on more than just its looks. Special features include two commentaries, the first of which comes off as a congratulatory fest with director Robert Luketic, star Reese Witherspoon and producer Mark Platt. The second includes just about everyone but the craft service people. From writers, production designers and the director of photography, this commentary delivers anything and everything viewers would want to know about how the movie came together.

When Warner Huntington (Matthew Davis) doesn’t give Elle "The Rock" which is a six-karat Harry Winston engagement ring but dumps her instead, Elle decides to follow Warner to Harvard Law School and win him back.

At Harvard, Elle meets her rival, the sensible brunette Vivian (Selma Blair), who now wears "The Rock" and a colorful assortment of other women. There’s Elle’s vital priority to emotional health manicurist Paulette, feminist classmate Enid, and her first defendant, an informercial fitness queen. Luke Wilson plays Emmett, a senior law student working as a clerk for one of Elle’s professors. Emmett is confused but utterly charmed by Elle.

Too vapid to see him for the loser he is, fashion merchandising major Elle applies to Harvard Law School herself, making an impression on the old boy network admissions board with her 4.0 GPA and a video essay that makes them drool, Elle argues her qualifications from a hot tub wearing a sequined bikini.

Next thing you know, she's standing out on the buttoned-down campus in her inexplicably retro, "Dynasty" cast-offs wardrobe. She's also in over her head taking heavy-duty year-one classes while competing for Warner's affections with a condescending blue-blooded preppie brunette (Selma Blair).

But once Elle lands her law firm internship about half way through the movie, "Legally Blonde" leaves campus for the courtroom and becomes a highly telegraphed eye-rolling affair that does nothing to prove Elle's alleged Brain power at all. In fact it does just the opposite falling back on her superficiality to resolve the plot.

All "Legally Blonde" has on it's mind is making us laugh, and boy it does succeed.

That it does is a credit to the acting firm of Reese and Witherspoon, who gives a star-making, revelatory performance. The movie is fluff but, as she did in "Election" and, when she was a kid, "The Man in the Moon," Witherspoon gives her character surprising dimensions. Even as we marvel at Elle's uncanny ability to pair up separates, I can tell that this underestimated woman has more on her mind than scrunchies.

The script gives Elle a tender heart and a functioning brain, but it's Witherspoon who makes it all fit together.

As directed by Robert Luketic (who is making his feature film debut) and written by screenwriters Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith - the latter of whom are obviously hoping to have lighting strike twice after their well received and witty debut effort, "10 Things I Hate About You" - the film starts off with a fun bang.

I would recommend you buy this movie and enjoy all the laughter it brings. Click here to buy this movie.
