This movie was really empowering (especially for girls). There are some sexual references, and there is a scene when Professor Callahan tries to make a move on Elle, but that stopped quickly. The movie is funny!

What Parents Need to Know
About Legally Blonde
Parents need to know that this movie is rated PG-13 for about five to ten minutes of crude humor, including jokes about stereotypes of gays. There is brief bad language. Elle may be blonde and bubbly, but she is far from ditsy. She works hard, uses her very fine brain, and conducts herself with integrity and dignity. Elle gives another woman advice about how to show off her body favorably to get a man's attention, but when her boss makes a pass at her, she makes it very clear that his behavior is unacceptable.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why Elle did not have higher aspirations for herself, and the role her parents played in shaping the way she thought about her future. They might also want to talk about Elle's choice to keep her client's secret, even when it put her defense at risk, and about the mistakes people make when they judge other people based on appearances. What made Elle succeed when more experienced lawyers did not? What did the way Elle responded to the practical joke show us about her?

Love this movie....Watch it 24/7!!!! =)
Legally Blonde is a very good movie. It is inspiring to me because I have always wanted to go to law school, but everyone says blondes are to dumb for that. I think the reason for her going is stupid at first. But, she finally realizes that she needs to be there for herself. So she puts her mind to it, and she graduates from Harvard University. She does that without the boy she came for and she even makes him want her back. Some how I want to do this too. I loved it completely!!!

Really funny!
A very cute and inspiring movie. The actors and actresses are really hilarious at points. Although there is some crude humor, teens and adults alike will both love this movie.

Very witty chick flick comedy!
I love this film, and apart from one instance where they have a discussion about sperm donors, it is suitable for mature 11 year olds upwards. It is a good comedy for any teenager and / or her parent so I highly recommend it - and the follow up is just as good!
