Legally Blondes

So I saw this on Netflix and all I have to say is that its not good. The acting, story, and every other aspect of the movie is pretty bad. I would not recommend this movie except maybe as a so-bad-that-its-good. Even then its pretty cringy.

This film is about two blonde twins from Britain, moving to the USA to study in their famous cousin's school.

"Legally Blondes" is a low budget rip off of the first "Legally Blonde". The storyline is basically the same, only that it happens in a high school, and every that could have looked glamorous is downgraded to stuff you find in a neighbourhood charity store. A fluffy chick flick has this obligatory shopping scene of trying different glamorous outfits in a store, but it does not even look glamorous or entertaining. I also could not tell between Izzy and Annie, as the film makes no distinction between them whatsoever. Maybe it was the intention of the filmmakers, but as a viewer I would like to know which is which when I am watching the film. In addition, the level of intelligence in "Legally Blondes" is woefully inadequate, it makes it seem like a teenage version of "Legally Blonde" but a lot worse. In short, "Legally Blondes" is a disappointing sequel.

I'm a pretty big fan of the original Legally Blonde movies (prequel and sequel) but by god is this movie so disappointing. I remember looking at the DVD of this film one day in a movie store years ago thinking 'I can tell this is going to be horrible', but it was only until it came on Netflix recently I decided to give it a go. Boy did I wish I didn't. I'm currently only twenty minutes in and already I've got a huge headache. The filming looks a lot more "cheapy" than the original movies. Its a lot like the filming I'd see for a TV series, it's almost as if I'm watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother... (though HIMYM being a LOT more entertaining). Secondly the acting is jUST SO POOR. Straight away being introduced to the twins and their acting is so poor it almost makes me cry? Am I expected to relate them to their "cousin" Elle Woods?? It's too try-hard and hardly anything like how their characters should be. The acting could fit the level of a high school movie production, but for a well budgeted movie of three this is honestly atrocious. Third, the characters created in this are just plain fake and not enjoyable. No connections whatsoever, it's all the same stuff you see in every movie with similar plots, it's like people have lost their creativity in this movie and tried sticking with what they usually do in ever other movie. The twins lack in any connection with the audience and straight away it looks like I'm watching someone's life fold through with no depth at all. The enemy in this movie is just plain boring and instantly annoying, hardly creative at all and makes the movie more harder to watch after every sentence she speaks in the movie. Not that this actor has poor acting like the rest, it's just the things she says and the creation of her character. The first two boys introduced instantly are the ones that fall in love with the twins, incredibly overused and not interesting at all. Lastly the plot is so, so, so unoriginal. I would of at least wanted something new but I just can't. I'm seeing it all unfold already. I just can't begin to express how disappointed I am to know this is apart of a series of two good movies, and they've made this so terrible. So cheesy, so corny, so bad I can publish a 200 page book of words with descriptions to describe this movie. All in all, really recommend you avoid this film, especially to avoid any headaches and disappointment after enjoying Legally Blonde 1 & 2. I don't even think a cameo of Reese Witherspoon will help this movie at all...

Legally Blondes takes a fresh approach to the franchise, introducing us to Annie and Izzy Woods, Elle Woods' British cousins. When their father sends them to attend an American prep school, the girls find themselves navigating a new culture and dealing with the challenges of fitting in. Inspired by their famous cousin, they embark on a mission to prove themselves and use their legal knowledge to outsmart the school's bullies and protect their newfound friends.

Review: Legally Blondes, as a spin-off of the popular Legally Blonde series, offers a lighthearted and entertaining experience, but it lacks the spark and depth of its predecessors. The film centers around Annie and Izzy Woods, played by Milly Rosso and Becky Rosso, who bring a certain charm and energy to their roles. While they don't quite match the charisma of Reese Witherspoon, their performances are engaging and enjoyable.

The plot of Legally Blondes, though familiar in its themes of empowerment and overcoming obstacles, fails to fully capture the same level of wit and substance found in the original films. The storyline relies heavily on teenage clichés and predictable plot twists, leaving little room for surprises or character development. The humor, while occasionally amusing, often feels forced and falls flat.

The supporting cast delivers adequate performances, but their characters lack the depth and memorable qualities seen in the previous installments. The script lacks the sharp and clever dialogue that made the original films so memorable. Additionally, the film's pacing feels uneven, with certain scenes dragging while others rush through important moments.

Despite its flaws, Legally Blondes does provide some light-hearted entertainment. The film's focus on female empowerment and the importance of friendship is commendable, and it offers a positive message for young viewers. The bright and colorful visuals, combined with the girls' fashionable outfits, add a touch of fun and style to the overall experience.

In conclusion, Legally Blondes falls short of capturing the magic of its predecessors. While it offers a lighthearted and entertaining watch, it lacks the depth, wit, and memorable characters that made the original films so beloved. If you're a fan of the Legally Blonde series and looking for a casual and undemanding viewing experience, Legally Blondes may provide some amusement, but overall, it fails to leave a lasting impact.

'Legally Blondes' is a rather rubbish return to this universe, yet somehow I wasn't actually overly bothered by it whilst watching. I'm not sure how the aforementioned is true, because it is objectively a bad movie; there isn't a detail about it that I could list under praise.

Camilla and Rebecca Rosso play the lead twins. I like how they switched it up from a solo main, it feels slightly unique from the two other movies. With that said, the acting level from the Rossos isn't the best and the (presumably exaggerated) British accents are a bit irritating/distracting.

Also onscreen is Christopher Cousins, fellow 'Breaking Bad' fans will find that minorly interesting. Another member is Bobby Campo, an actor I like from underrated made-for-television Xmas flick 'Snow Bride'. As you can tell, the cast is this film's standout element.

I probably should've disliked this stronger, I'm not sure why I didn't to be honest. Lastly, it's noteworthy that Reese Witherspoon served as producer for this though doesn't turn up during it; I don't blame her, but a cameo would've been cool.
