Legally Blonde: Reese Witherspoon gives a glittering performance as Elle Woods, the natural blonde sorority queen who enrolls at Harvard Law School. Expecting her boyfriend Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis) to propose, Elle is mortified when instead he says he needs somebody serious as his wife. When Elle discovers Warner's brother is engaged to a law student, she discovers enrolling at Harvard might be the way to prove she is serious. She studies for the LSATs, submits a video essay - in which she appears in a sequined bikini - and, miraculously, is accepted. At first, Elle is rebuked by Professor Stromwell (Holland Taylor) and is the target of snide comments from other students. But, gradually, it becomes clear that Elle is no fish out of water; she is smarter, more driven, and more likely to survive in the rarefied Harvard atmosphere than anyone else.

Legally Blonde 2 Having conquered Harvard, Elle is now a rising young lawyer at a great firm, balancing her demanding career with preparations for her wedding to the man of her dreams. But when she finds out her beloved dog Bruiser's family members are being used as cosmetic test subjects by one of her firm's own clients, she stands up for their rights - and is promptly fired. She's devastated, but you can't keep an optimist down. Ms. Woods goes to Washington to take matters into her own French-manicured hands.
Trying to learn the political ropes and win over politicians, Elle faces a formidable challenge - and in a sea of grey, black, and navy, she sticks out like a pink thumb. The politicians aren't immediately kind to "Capitol Barbie" and Washington D.C. isn't an easy place for a person with impeccable fashion sense and a Harvard Law degree. But with her clever and sassy signature blend of intelligence and determination, she bucks the system the Elle Woods way. Speaking up for Bruiser and his family, Elle eventually inspires those around her to find voices of their own...
