i love how supportive Elle's sororiety sisters are. Even though they dont really understand what Elle is trying to achieve, they still helped her, supported her, kept her focus, even helping her study. Those are real friends
@@Chuuzus great catch - blondes and brunettes are always enemies in older movies. try googIing why - the explanation is in mlsogyny. jackie vs marilyn - literally. this movie subverts it. If you want other movies that subvert the blonde vs brunette enemies - watch "Bring it on" from 2000 and "Stick it" from 2006
“Vote for Elle!” Might be my favorite line from this movie. It’s so funny and shows how her friends might not completely understand what she’s doing here but they’re going to support her no matter what.
Warner: "YOU got into Harvard?!" Elle: "What, like it's hard?" Elle Woods was my role model as a kid. She showed me that it's possible to be intelligent AND pretty, you don't have to choose between them.
im sorry, but breaking up with someone in public at a restaurant BEFORE the food comes is so evil to me😭like if you're gonna break my heart, can I at least eat first. I don't understand why people break up in such a public place😭
When I watched this movie, I was failing law class so badly. This movie gave me some serious motivation and guess who bagged her law degree? Yes me!! Elle woods is forever iconic.
@Withenyoa so happy for you. for me, Elle is, above all, kind. she doesn't care who is rich or poor, fashionable or not interested in fashion, she's kind to everybody
What I love about Elle is that instead of bitching and moaning and crying to her rich daddy about how nobody takes her seriously, instead she lets it motivate her to work harder to achieve her goals.
as much as i LOVE the scene with Emmett exposing Enrique, it also confused me as to why Chuck (the boyfriend) was okay with him telling the court that he had an affair with Brooke, but when Enrique calls Chuck a friend he goes ballistic😭
i've watched this movie so many times and it STILLS impacts me🤭this movie really taught me that you can be strong and powerful AND be feminine. also that you don't have to knock others down to pick yourself up
You're so right about Elle being Barbie-coded. I think Margo Robbie wasn't a good casting choice for Barbie because if she isn't smiling, she looks like she could kill you, which is badass, but I just don't think Barbie would look so intimidating so easily. Plus, her eyebrows and roots make it look like she isn't a natural blonde. I was trying to picture who I would cast as Barbie if I could, and I realized my ideal pick for Barbie would be 2001 Reese Witherspoon.
8:58 it really is Barbie, not only for her wearing pink but also her almost acing her LSATs (one point away) and just being the perfect girl living the perfect day every day. But I can’t agree with the statement that LB walked so Barbie can run knowing fully well that Barbie and the 12 princesses is an iconic movie. Chuu, can you react to the second Legally Blonde and the “spin-off” Legally Blondes
Reese made Elle into an instant icon, such an amazing feel-good movie! And really good cast as well, so many recognizable faces. If you're interested, there's a Legally Blonde musical that actually aired live on MTV that's available to watch in full on RUclips, it's really really good. Don't know what you have and haven't seen (do you have a Letterboxd?), but 13 Going On 30, Uptown Girls, and Miss Congeniality are also really fantastic comedies similar to this movie and would be fun to watch before Barbie.
I watched this movie all of the time as a kid and it made me want to be like Elle; now I have plans for law school in the next couple of years. She is such an inspiration of a smart woman who manages to slay while doing it!
this movie will FOREVER be iconic.🥰💕 its kind of a shame that we don't have more movies and shows like this. Like this movie came out BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN, and yet since then, there has only been a few movies and shows that have empowered women as much as this movie has😭
lawyers like Callahan don't have my respect. Like he thought that Brooke was completely guilty of killing her husband, but he was willing to get her off the hook for a paycheck. He's just slimy
That unfortunately is the reality, there are cases when one of the parties are unable to pay for a lawyer of their own, so a lawyer must come in and defend them regardless of whether or not they're innocent. Further more, people gotta eat and lawyers are hired, it's very rare that a lawyer chooses who they represent
Watching this movie for the first time a year ago, I thought the same as you! I loved how Elle didn't let anybody bring her down, she kept being herself, she did not change her personality or herself to achieve anything regardless of people's prejudices about her "looks".
This film really was a major culture milestone. In the 90s/00s, hyper-femininity was nearly only seen in dumb or mean characters. Female protagonists were so often tomboys or "not like other girls." Legally Blonde is a defense of femininity and the idea that you can be girlie but also be smart, kind, and serious. While it's not necessarily the message of Barbie, that movie relies on that fundamental truth to deliver their other messages. Legally Blonde is like Barbie's cultural ancestor.
if you're a fan of musicals, you would LOVE the legally blonde musical i think. There was also a reality series on mtv for it. Doesn't have to be a reaction, I just think you would like it! as far as recommendations if you haven't seen ferris beuler's day off, I recommend it! One of my favs!
Legally Blonde is ICONIC! I can't believe you have never watched it until now. I was just sitting here practically quoting every line. I knew you would LIVE for this movie. I loved your reaction, boo!
This is making me want to watch this movie again. Elle Woods is such an icon. This is Elle's world and everyone else is just living in it. And I love that at the end of the movie Elle and Vivian are actually friends now and Warner got nothing.
I feel like the movie Life Size with Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks walked so that Barbie could run. Ugh my childhood 😭 Chuuzus please watch it for the Barbie vibes its iconic ❤
I'm honestly shocked you hadn't seen this before, it's so iconic! It had me wondering if you've ever seen Freeway? Reese's early roles were kinda wild before she became the romcom queen. Definitely check that out if you haven't!
I spent one year at a top 25 law school and the thing that makes me laugh the most is Elle just showing up in class 😂 You have at least 300 pages of reading and homework due on day 1.
It happened my first day of Torts to some poor soul in the back. He was waiting for his new laptop to come in, and our prof was kind enough to compile a free virtual casebook for us so we didn’t have to buy one. The secondhand embarrassment was intense.
I saw Barbie last night and i’m ready to see it again!!! i’m so hyped over that movie. it’s truly too good cannot wait for your reaction when it comes out!!🩷🩷
apparently, a possible movie ending was with Elle and Vivian getting together, but some of the writers have denied that so im not sure if its true or not
I HAD SO MUCH FUN WATCHING THIS W YOU!! reaaallly needed some motivation rn and didnt have time to rewatch the entire movie so this was such a great time
my comfort movie! 💖 I don't know how I missed the upload notification on your channel, but it's a great surprise. And I already can tell I'm going to rewatch this many times
3:18 yes that's Cassie's Mom from Euphoria aka Alanna Ubach!! She's insanely talented, has a great singing voice (she was mama imelda in Coco) and has great comedic timing. She's very underrated imo!
They got the law school experience pretty well correct. The scary professors (in fact, the blonde lady professor was based on Elizabeth Warren, who compiled the bankruptcy supplement I used.) The Socratic method. The first years using jargon randomly to confuse laypeople. Only thing they got wrong is that internship would be for the summer, because they need to be focusing on their classes in first year. Those grades matter a lot. Oh, and Elle engaged in the unauthorized practice of law when getting the dog back. Elle’s cross examination is used in trial advocacy classes to show how to use leading questions effectively.
I don’t remember if the second one was any good (so it probably wasn’t) but you should watch Sweet Home Alabama with our girl Reese! You would love it! I’m tuning in to your reaction either way Chu😘
A Jackie is a reference to America president JFK’s wife Jackie O and the reference to Marilyn is about Marilyn Monroe, the iconic sex symbol. (There’s a rumor that JFK had an affair with Marilyn) lowkey everyone knows the tea hehe
Chu! I just discovered your reaction channel and now I'm binging your videos. ❤ You are such a breath of fresh air, I love you already!! Great movie reactions, even greater personality. I'm glad I found you!
Omggg Chuu!! This is one of my fave romcoms and I'm so excited you did it - loving this new era of watching fun genres for you! Also if you need a recommendation for a similar movie: I LOVE 10 Things I Hate About You - its my all time favourite
At first the idea of even giving this movie the time of day never came crossed my mind until I watched a few years ago and I love absolutely loved this movie
A lesser movie would have had Elle ditch her love of fashion and all things pink to show her "growth" as a law student and career woman. Always loved that this movie never changed that aspect of her. You CAN love frilly, girly things AND be a professional.
You should check out the two Hellboy movies if you want more from the actress who plays Vivienne. Its campy/sci-fi and they are so 2000s and good. We dont talk about the remake lol Guillermo del toro ate when he did those movies.
I didn't know you haven't watched this before!! Awww I love this movie so much, I knew you'd love it I love your reactions 😆🥰💛 BTW, I also used pink and sented cv after seeing from Elle 🙃😍 I also wish I have had a sisterhood like Elle, I love that too.
I'd love a reaction to the sequel. This reaction was sooo fun! I love this movie and you were so right about this being such a Barbie-coded movie/character. Elle really is the loveliest person. You can't help but root for her and want to see her happy and successful. Warner really didn't deserve her and I'm glad she figured that out long before the movie ended and spent the rest of the movie simply finding herself on her new path.
RUclips algorithim suggested your video to me and thank goodness because I am in love with you!! Only 13 minutes in and I am laughing and snapping along with you like you're my bestie 😂 Happy new subscriber here!!
i love how supportive Elle's sororiety sisters are. Even though they dont really understand what Elle is trying to achieve, they still helped her, supported her, kept her focus, even helping her study. Those are real friends
real friends! and none of them were jealous
Real friends even they rolled their eyes whenever they try to belittle Elle. No one disrespects Elle Woods 💯💅🏻
They were really cool girlfriends unlike the ones in mean girls
fr!! i love how they didnt go along w the “mean popular girls” thing, i loved the movie even more for that
@@Chuuzus great catch - blondes and brunettes are always enemies in older movies. try googIing why - the explanation is in mlsogyny. jackie vs marilyn - literally. this movie subverts it. If you want
other movies that subvert the blonde vs brunette enemies - watch "Bring it on" from 2000 and "Stick it" from 2006
No white woman has white womaned the way Reese Witherspoon has white womaned IM DYING🤣
😂😂😂
“Vote for Elle!” Might be my favorite line from this movie. It’s so funny and shows how her friends might not completely understand what she’s doing here but they’re going to support her no matter what.
Warner: "YOU got into Harvard?!"
Elle: "What, like it's hard?"
Elle Woods was my role model as a kid. She showed me that it's possible to be intelligent AND pretty, you don't have to choose between them.
Elle Woods is truly an icon
When Warner was waitlisted!! 😂
Yes Elle was that girl! 🩷
im sorry, but breaking up with someone in public at a restaurant BEFORE the food comes is so evil to me😭like if you're gonna break my heart, can I at least eat first. I don't understand why people break up in such a public place😭
Literally like u want me to cry onto my plate 💀
just WHY restaurants? i remember being broken up with and starting to cry and dude said "...you want onion rings?"
Elle Woods really was that girl. They tried to tell her that she wasn't, but the evidence does not lie. She's literally undeniable.
Yessssss
When I watched this movie, I was failing law class so badly. This movie gave me some serious motivation and guess who bagged her law degree? Yes me!! Elle woods is forever iconic.
That is so amazing! Congratulations
Congratulations!!
Wow congratulations 👏
Well done!
@Withenyoa so happy for you. for me, Elle is, above all, kind. she doesn't care who is rich or poor, fashionable or not interested in fashion, she's kind to everybody
What I love about Elle is that instead of bitching and moaning and crying to her rich daddy about how nobody takes her seriously, instead she lets it motivate her to work harder to achieve her goals.
This movie never gets old. it is ICONIC. Everyone treating Elle like a dumb blonde, except her sororiety sisters who knew her worth. Fan. Tas. Tic.
as much as i LOVE the scene with Emmett exposing Enrique, it also confused me as to why Chuck (the boyfriend) was okay with him telling the court that he had an affair with Brooke, but when Enrique calls Chuck a friend he goes ballistic😭
Probably because he was going to get money and he knew the affair was a lie but when he said he was a friend, he downplayed his actual relationship
i've watched this movie so many times and it STILLS impacts me🤭this movie really taught me that you can be strong and powerful AND be feminine. also that you don't have to knock others down to pick yourself up
I’m always impressed at your ability to recognize actors from other roles. I, too, with they made more fun movies like this. Keep up the good work!
Same because I never noticed Cassie’s mom was in this movie 💀💀

Chuu, can you react to the second Legally Blonde and the “spin-off” Legally Blondes
Honestly the stage recording of Legally Blonde the Musical is superior to both sequels
I really enjoy Reese and Selma together (both were in Cruel Intentions but shared no scenes ☹). Their evolution from enemies to friends is wonderful.
Omg I completely forgot they were both in that
I love that both of them - and SMG - are still friends IRL.
And their “roles” or tropes i guess you could say, were completely reversed. Selma was the ditz and Reese was the sophisticated “prude”
Omg he should totally watch cruel intentions 🫣
oh my fucking god, the way you immediately said “he’s gay” before elle even could is so fucking funny. i hope you react to the second one soon!
Reese made Elle into an instant icon, such an amazing feel-good movie! And really good cast as well, so many recognizable faces. If you're interested, there's a Legally Blonde musical that actually aired live on MTV that's available to watch in full on RUclips, it's really really good. Don't know what you have and haven't seen (do you have a Letterboxd?), but 13 Going On 30, Uptown Girls, and Miss Congeniality are also really fantastic comedies similar to this movie and would be fun to watch before Barbie.
You calling him Alaric the whole time has me weak 😂😂😂
What's funny is that Marylin Monroe was actually very smart but you can guess who thought she was stupid😒
Finally he did a good comparaision
I watched this movie all of the time as a kid and it made me want to be like Elle; now I have plans for law school in the next couple of years. She is such an inspiration of a smart woman who manages to slay while doing it!

The drive-in near me has Barbie and this movie paired together this weekend, iconic 😊
Elle is an ICON. I love this movie so much, it's such a feel good movie for me. Keep the happy movies coming Chu! Love the reactions❤
This movie low key inspied me so much! The way she picked herself up and served 💅🏾❤. Please watch Josie and the Pussycats for a fun time 🥺

Sister Act 2 😂
@@TheSuperNats lol 😂
Also was in coco! Voiced and sang Mama Imelda
alana ubach is the GOAT. so many small character roles and long career

This is my comfort movie. It is perfect.
im struggling between Reese and Rachel McAdams (Regina) from mean girls, which one is more iconic...
I would also have chosen shopping... 😅😂👍
This was fun, thank you! 🙂💛
Omg this reaction was pure joy! I grew up on this movie and it IS motivating!
Came here after watching your RW&RB reaction and am obsessed with your editing! 😂❤
another day waiting for hunger games
Ok there is a Broadway musical that was made of Legally Blonde and it’s SOOO good. It’s on RUclips for free cause it was filmed for MTV.
Love how you call him Alaric!
You have to watch The Other Woman!!! It is SO messy and it has Cameron Diaz and is also about women ruining a man's life you would loveeeeee
You should check out the two Hellboy movies if you want more from the actress who plays Vivienne. Its campy/sci-fi and they are so 2000s and good. We dont talk about the remake lol Guillermo del toro ate when he did those movies.
growing up my family always called me the 'absent minded professor' i am really smart but i sometimes am very dumb and forgetful lol.
Yes that is definitely Cassie’s mom!! She was in Sister Act 2 as well!!
Elle Woods is the inspiration that keeps on giving! Always leaves me smiling.
