This film is old, I know. Until recently the last time I had watched it was at least four years ago. During a break yesterday I decided it would be good idea to watch it again, to see if I loved it just as much as I had, or if it had now been put into the cringe pile.
I am glad to say it is not the latter. I enjoyed the sassy Reece Witherspoon slaying it, just as much now as I ever did. I mean I did find myself practicaly screaming at her for chasing after some dumb ass guy, after all no man who treats you like you're dumb is worth another second of your time. However, it did help her gain her independence and end up with a hunk of a guy!
I like to believe I am not a huge fan of girlie movies, but I do enjoy the melting heart moments, and the endings that leave me wanting to be independent and making something for myself. It is a heartwarming classical, I normally watching things with sad endings so it was a nice difference. I like that Elle kicks the ass out if the blonde stereotype, and that she proves men wrong and conquers the courtcase. It is an empowering film, and definitely a girlie pick me up.
I'm not into the whole pink thing though, but when you get past it, it's an enjoyable film!
