She`s a California sorority girl who`ll do anything to keep her man. Even if it means going all the way… to law school!

Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is a California blonde with couture clothes, fabulous friends and the hottest boyfriend on campus. So when Warner Huntington III (Davis) suddenly dumps her and heads for Harvard Law School, Elle takes matters into her own perfectly manicured hands. She enrolls too!

Your Opinions and Comments

8 / 10
This movie was in the bargain bin, so I immediately picked it up, since I enjoyed the region 1 disc so much. The region 1 and region 2 discs are almost identical.
The movie itself is a standard romantic comedy, but nevertheless, a very enjoyable one.
The video transfer is very good. The colors are very nicely saturated and the transfer lacks any compression signs.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. While most of the movie is dialog driven, the musical soundtrack is wonderful and the surrounds are nicely utilized.
The song in the opening scene has got to be one of the happiest songs I`ve ever heard.
The menus are animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary, a trivia track, a behind the scenes featurette, 8 deleted scenes and a great music video.
Bottom line - a highly enjoyable movie that doesn`t take itself too seriously, and a decent disc as well.
