On July 13, 2001, Legally Blonde debuted in theaters. Can you believe it? The film is 15 years old today! Time sure flies, but this movie will always have a place in our hearts. It's not just about a blonde college student who loves the color pink - it's about hard work and determination. Say what you want about Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), but she was a woman who ultimately found her own worth, which can be rare for a female character in a Hollywood movie. Here are 11 reasons why Legally Blonde was fantastic then and still is now:
1. It all began with a girl who had given up on love.
2. Until she decided to get her boyfriend back by going to law school.
3. Because of her determination, she got in.
4. She wasn't afraid to be her true self in a new environment, whether she was giving fashion advice...
5. Or dating advice.
6. People still told her she wasn't good enough.
7. So she worked even harder to prove them wrong.
8. This woman never took the easy way out.
9. Sure, there were times when she doubted herself.
10. But she ultimately knew what she deserved.
11. In the end, she taught us a very important lesson.
If you haven't seen Legally Blonde in a while, or if you haven't seen it at all, do yourself a favor and watch it today. You'll laugh, you might even cry, and most importantly, you'll walk away feeling inspired.
