Legally Blonde

Legally Blonde starring Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, Selma Blair. 2001.

Have I mentioned that I love this movie? I would guess that most people have seen it already, but it is worth re-watching, and if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend. I find it safe to watch with family members. I also consider it to be a feminist movie, that centers women's friendships, careers, and lives; acknowledges the existence of sexism/sexual harrassment; and presents Elle Woods as a highly feminine, smart, driven woman that is Not to be Messed With (although she must discover this herself). It is also funny and charming.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie too, and even considered checking it out to watch all the way through, of my own volition. (I'd only encountered it before because my roommate had it on TV.)

Yes, it's one of those movies that looks like it would be awful but is actually awesome. I've watched it many times and still love it.

Also, that is one of the funniest Hark! A Vagrant comics ever. It's seriously still just about my favorite one. I really wish she'd do an Emma Goldman comic sometime.
