Film She is mega superior to the book Elle. How was this book included in the option? Entertainment Weekly put Elle Woods on its end-of-decade best-of list, saying, “She`s blonde, bubbly and wears a little Chihuahua. But despite the inevitable comparisons between Paris Hilton, Reese Witherspoon`s Legally Blonde Dynamo managed to be taken seriously. Case closed! [8] The serious feminist who wants to change the word “semester” to “Ovester” at Harvard is mocked, but she only listens politely. (One of Brown`s classmates apparently said this, and obviously she laughed at them.) When this objectively stupid character complains about the phallic undertones of the word “assignment” in the book, it`s easy to sympathize with her, if only because the narrator hates her so much. Making her such a better person has actually made the audience worse, so don`t be too much yourself if you can`t be as perfect as she is. It`s all their fault. This is one of the rare instances where I really liked the movie a little more than the book. Reese Witherspoon does a phenomenal job bringing Elle Woods to life. And it`s impossible not to love them. The Elle Woods that comes to life on the pages is also absolutely adorable.
But she is not as amiable and much more superficial. A little boring sometimes. But her optimism and naivety somehow compensate for the stereotypical image of the blonde. Thanks to a creative application video and the demand for “diversity” at Stanford Law, she is admitted. Soon, she packs up her convertible — as well as her Chihuahua “Underdog” pet — and heads north, determined to win her husband back. Smart, fast and fun, Legally Blonde proves how much fun blondes really can have! Check out more of the author`s books, see similar authors, read author blogs, and more My favorite part of the movie is the montage where She decides to take matters into her own hands and work incredibly hard to prove to everyone that she should be taken seriously. It`s definitely absent from the book – She spends most of her time filing her nails in class and feeling sorry for herself. Then Amanda Brown uses a horrible plot device; The “secret angel” who sends Her notes from all law courses to help her pass her exams. This lazy Deus-Ex machine gives Elle everything she needs without her even having to work for her, which makes me hate the character even more. If there`s one thing I hate about literature, it`s a character who is served everything on a silver platter.
You`d better make a 50 Shades of Grey movie so I can tear this lazy and poorly written book (and its ridiculous Mary Sue Anastasia Steele) into pieces. I understand that the manuscript was recovered by the film producers before the book was published and selected as a film. So they probably only published the book as a result of the film`s success. I can`t imagine the book doing well on its own, it`s not a very good story. The plot was also missing. Elle`s lessons, or any development in her progress as a law student, were constantly put on hold to draw attention to the color of her nail polish. Josette, her short-dial manicurist, also had a much smaller role and felt underutilized. I really wanted to throw the book against the wall, either to make sense of the barely fleshed out characters, or as a cathartic release from my frustration. Elle Woods, a blonde and repatriated university of Southern California president, is deeply in love with her Warner Huntington III university love.
When Warner enrolls in Stanford Law School and wants to find a more serious girl than her as a wife, she plans a plan to follow him there to win him back.

Learn More Legally Blonde was written by Amanda Brown, who, unsurprisingly, was a blonde who went to law school. Hey – write what you know – said a famous old man. Amanda Brown, who spoke about the Legally Blonde Special Features DVD, said that within a day or two of her law school, she realized she had to do something else because she spent every class reading magazines. She also said she chose Stanford Law School because it was close to a “very large shopping mall.” If you don`t like Amanda Brown`s sound, you probably won`t like this book, because unfortunately, the main character Elle Woods is based on herself. Certainly not Warner`s new fiancée, Vivian, who bullies him every step of the way, but tries to make friends in the film. Absolutely not her classmates, whom she relentlessly mocks because they care about things other than beauty and fashion. Even her nail technician, whom she immediately recognizes as someone who needs her legal and romantic help, exists primarily in the book to agree with her about how horrible and ugly everyone is.
Totally agree with you. I forced myself to keep reading and finish the book, hoping it would go well, which it never did. Emmett`s absence is just the beginning of the disappointment for me. The movie/musical is much better.
