      If this Popsicle of a movie melts long before it's over, the first half has more good laughs than all of “Sweethearts.”

      Thanks to Ms. Witherspoon's artful portrayal of a winning, if beachless, Gidget, I found Legally Blonde very enjoyable.

      Philadelphia Inquirer

      Smart screwball comedy that upends the stereotype of the airhead towhead.

      Imagine the sequel to "Clueless" reconceived as a peroxide "Paper Chase" and punched up with a valley girl version of "My Cousin Vinny" for the climax.

      Like all blond jokes, Legally Blonde is basically meanspirited, and that's when it's funniest.

      Guilty of squandering resources. Amusing as it goes about setting up its premise, in Witherspoon, the gifted veteran of "Election" and "Pleasantville," it has an actress willing to throw herself completely into the part to excellent effect.
