2.5/4
"Luketic neither commands the kind of broad satirical strokes heir to Alexander Payne or the low-key absurdist touches that mark the works of Wes Anderson."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B
"With a talented actress like Reese Witherspoon in the lead, it becomes easy to suspend disbelief and just go with it."

C
"A featherweight romp that wants to flaunt stereotypes but instead winds up reaffirming them."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
D
"Criminally stupid...has all the charm of fingernails scraping a blackboard for ninety minutes."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"In a dazzling performance, Reese Witherspoon proves that everyone has inner flair if we only take the time and interest to look closely."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2.5/4
"Handicapped by a lame, predictable storyline that calls attention to itself too often."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2.5/4
"giddy, effervescent pop comedy"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
7/10

Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen

Screen It!
Jim Judy
6/10
"Reese just pops out of the screen and begs that you love her ditziness."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
7/10
"...a modern fairy-tale fantasy about clichéd images and, better, a film that never takes itself, its characters, or its messages too seriously."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
2.5/4
"Se puede ver si se toma como la típica película dominguera para pasar un rato sentado en la oscuridad de una sala de cine, pero no ofrece nada más."
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade
3/5
"A misdemeanor."
3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
4.5
"It doesn't break any filmmaking ground, except by making a fluffy, fun summer comedy that isn't insulting and actually entertains with a message at the same time. Refreshing!"
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
C+
"Reese Witherspoon shines as the perky, pampered blonde"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
6/10
"Legally Blonde es sólo una comedia inocua que puede hacernos una tarde dominguera más amena pero nada más."
Cinenganos
Luis Martinez
3/4
"You have to appreciate a movie whose title essentially sums up the whole thing."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
"Your honor, the evidence will show that just because the movie my client is associated with is silly doesn't mean it doesn't have something smart to say."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3/4
"The film is able to transcend its unpromising origins due to two words: Reese Witherspoon."
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
3/5
"An agreeable trifle, a fairy-tale piece of fluff that is nevertheless fun and funny."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
3/4
"Your parents warned you not to judge a book by its cover for a reason. Dismissing
Legally Blonde
would mean missing one of the funniest comedies of the year."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
4/5
"Witherspoon is a treasure. She makes Elle completely believable."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
3/5
"Witherspoon quase nos faz ignorar o absurdo da situação proposta pelo roteiro."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
3/4
""Legally Blonde" is one of those rare modern comedies that does not rely on gross-out humor or slapstick for its laughs."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
C
"The burden of carrying "Legally Blonde" falls upon the shoulders of Reese Witherspoon..."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
7/10
"Reese Witherspoon is quite literally a force of nature, elevating this piffle into a solid piece of entertainment."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
B
"Witherspoon is a talented comedian who can perk up a scene just by marching in full of pep and drive."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
8/10
""A frivolous, funny, feel-good 'Pretty-in-Pink'/'Clueless' for the new millennium - a movie for high school kids that their parents would be happy to have them see.""
