| Synopsis: Witherspoon gives a glittering
performance as Elle Woods, the natural blonde sorority queen who
enrolls at Harvard Law School. When she first appears, Elle seems to
be no more than the bright cousin of Clueless's Alicia
Silverstone. Expecting her boyfriend Warner Huntington III (Davis)
to propose, she 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 decides to go to Harvard. 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! |
