Legally Blondes Reviews

Initial Thought: Why the hell am I watching this you ask? Well I am asking myself the same damn question. Somehow I watched the previous two films. They were okay, but I was only there for Reese Witherspoon. This one doesn't have her, but it is apparently presented by her. I guess it's because I need to finish the trilogy to feel accomplished. Don't try this at home kids.

Characters/Acting: It does have a few fairly well known actors such as Christopher Cousins, Curtis Armstrong, and Bobby Campo. The acting is pretty awful so far. These girls have no skills whatsoever. Their real accents even come off as fake. It was hard to take any of the characters here seriously. Bobby Campo is ten years older than the Rosso sisters so seeing him romantically interested in an at the time 16 year old was a bit weird.

Story: Moving from England to California, the youngest cousins of Elle Woods must defend themselves when their schools reigning forces turn on the girls and try to frame them for a crime. This starts off quite horribly. The synopsis makes it sound much cooler than it actually is. Nothing of interest really even happens here. It even kind of feels like a knockoff Mean Girls with the whole Legally Blonde scenario thrown in towards the end. The ending didn't have anything going for it it either. In fact the best part was when I saw only the credits. Looks like there were a few deleted scenes thrown in throughout the credits. Nothing that seemed to catch any interest though.

Directing/Writing: Savage Steve Holland is known more for writing and directing television episodes. That really shows here as it feels like the modern crap I've switched through on the Disney channel or something. Which is weird because I actually enjoyed the shows he has been a part of like Even Stevens or Phil of the Future. Amanda Brown is still credited for Elle Woods even though she is only mentioned here. This is the only film I have seen by both Chad Gomez Creasey and Dara Resnik Creasey. Chad also wrote Sydney White which I didn't like very much.

Final Thought: This was far from good. It was like a bad Disney channel movie that nobody watched. It didn't have the charisma that the first one had. I wouldn't even consider the first one more than average. This though was just dreadful. It was painful to watch. I highly recommend avoiding this one. It's a waste of an hour and a half.
