This
Summer go blonde!
After a
second recent viewing, I've dropped this film a
notch...I'm figuring that my initial "B" rating
was primarily my enchantment with Reese
Witherspoon, and not really based on reality.
The reality is this is a pretty harmless, fairly
meaningless comedy with a pretty good comic
performance by Witherspoon, a fairly wooden
performance by Luke Wilson and a ridiculous
script.
Of course, the plot...and I use that term
loosely, centers around a dumped sorority queen
who follows the aforementioned boyfriend to law
school and finds herself surprisingly gifted in
law.
There are some cute side performances here,
including the always dependable character
actress Holland Taylor, Selma Blair, Jennifer
Coolidge and even Raquel Welch.
There is some decent dialogue here, and I
tremendously enjoyed Witherspoon...perhaps a
better male lead and I could bump this back up a
notch. For now, I'll rate it as a slightly above
average comedy, a decent rental and not a bad
date film
