The film Legally Blonde pretends to be a celebration of the power of women in the dusty, sexist halls of Harvard Yard, but in fact it is a comedy that uses the time-tested ability of sexist roles to gain cheap laughs and play to the tastes of those who snicker at women, believing them to be less able than men and qualifying all of their successes at having been based on luck or some other sort of dynamic than true competence. Reese Witherspoon stars as Elle Woods, a sorority girl who fits every stereotype of the naïve blonde. She catches the ...
