Legally Blondes

For the life of me I cannot understand the distaste for Legally Blondes by other viewers. It's a Disney Studio product geared at the teen market and hopefully launching Milly and Becky Rosso as a distaff version of the Sprouse twins. What was everyone expecting?

Possibly they were expecting something on the order of Reese Witherspoon with that title and the fact that the Rosso twins were made to be cousins of Reese's film character. I guess everyone's expectations were raised to ridiculous levels. The relationship to the film Legally Blonde was not even necessary for the film's story to unfold.

Very simply the twins come over from the United Kingdom because they're widowed dad Christopher Cousins gets a teaching position. They are put in a posh prep school where after they challenge the reign of snobbish Brittany Curran as the queen of the school, they form their own set and with fashion sense and common sense win over a lot of kids.

But that doesn't sit well with Curran who with her minion Chad Broskey tries to frame one of the girls and a boy she's dating, Bobby Campo, in a cheating scandal. She also tries to split the twins themselves and almost succeeds.

For some reason school principal Lisa Bane takes an instant dislike to the ingenuous Rosso girls. That's never really gone into except that Bane is on some power trip. They're nice kids, who could dislike them except evil people.

The girls appeared on The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody and this film was the Magic Kingdom's way of hopefully launching them as attractions. Don't be surprised if they don't get their own TV series from Disney yet.

As for Legally Blondes it's amusing enough if you're not expecting Reese Witherspoon.

Not the worst movie I have seen, it passed the time would not watch again typical high school movie the typical high school characters

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.

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.
