Court is in session on this 2001 Reese Witherspoon star vehicle, based on the book by Amanda Brown, who channeled her own real-life experiences as a blonde Stanford law student into a book that sparked a studio bidding war. Reese Witherspoon faced her own struggles landing the lead role after being typecast as Tracy Flick from Election. However, with her turn as Elle Woods, a fashion-forward Harvard Law student who proves that beauty and brains can go together, Reese Witherspoon found a breakout role and theatergoers found an instant classic. It's not just Reese Witherspoon; also with her are Luke Wilson, Jennifer Coolidge, Selma Blair, Ali Larter, Holland Taylor, and Victor Garber. Opening with just a $20 million first weekend, the film directed by Robert Luketic went on to earn $142 million at the global box office as a sleeper hit. This strong precedent has led to sequel, a Broadway musical, a reality TV show about casting the musical, a direct-to-video spin-off, and now there's an Amazon prequel series, Elle, set to debut in July. Ever the arbiters of justice and good taste, our hosts will now sit in judgement of the age-old adage: blondes have more fun. It may not be fair, it may not be easy, but it is Legally Blonde!
