The Hair That Ate Hollywood offers a nine-minute look at the blonde. Another clip, similar to Inside, mixes regular movie clips, on-set footage, and interviews with Luketic, head hairdresser Joy Zapata, color director Nancy Braun, writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, producer Marc Platt, Reese Witherspoon, and colorist Dawn Ellinwood. They offer a discussion of the joys of being blonde, with some notes on hair color in general and its use in film. We also get a catalog with the 40 – right, 40! – Hairstyles worn by Witherspoon in the film. Wow – that`s an average of a new C every two minutes and 24 seconds! Hair is a nice little piece, but nothing special. Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is a Californian blonde with couture clothes, fabulous friends, and the sexiest boyfriend on campus. When Warner Huntington III (Davis) suddenly drops her and heads to Harvard Law School, she takes things in her own hands, perfectly manicured. She registers too! Now, it should be a no-brainer to get Warner back, right? False! They are about to start the hardest fight of her life – for love, honor, justice and respect for blondes everywhere! Devastated, she swears that Shell will get him back, so she tries to prove her dedication by accompanying him to Harvard Law School. For a number of reasons — most of which revolve around the tiny bikini she wears in her app video — she actually enters this prestigious club, but she soon realizes that not all law schools are offenses and movements. Most other students are quick to dismiss her as a stupid blonde, and Warners has already switched to a more practical friend, dark classmate Vivian Kensington (Selma Blair).
Finally, there is the theatrical trailer of Blonde as well as an advertisement for the special DVD edition of The Princess Bride. We also have a music video for Hokus Perfect Day. The music video is three minutes and 55 seconds long and includes a short promo of the soundtrack. Perfect Day is a harmless but reasonably brilliant little pop song, and Hokus is quite pleasing to the eyes. Scary quiz notes that made them less appealing to me: His father is the famous Hawaiian salon singer Don Ho! The second comment shows a mix of crew members. We hear from costume designer Sophie de Rakoff Carbonell, production designer Melissa Stewart, cinematographer Anthony B. Richmond, screenwriters Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and animal trainer Sue Chipperton. This comment used an unusual form of construction. Here`s how it worked: The trail started with remarks from Richmond. After a while, he left – literally. His comments did not stop; He said goodbye and the next participant, Stewart, entered the scene.
After a while, Carbonell joined her, and finally Chipperton sat with them for a few minutes. They then separated, and Lutz and Smith stepped in to finish the film. The remaining performers aren`t able to bring much depth to their roles, but none of them pose any problems, and they seem to be solid in general. Davis looks suitably greasy in the role of Warner, and Blair creates a whistling thrill as Vivian. Wilson seems quite boring, but he sometimes feels charming and we can somehow see why She would be interested in him. Legal Blonde touched a nerve last summer. A quiet, feminine comedy amid a flurry of raucous action movies that garnered surprisingly solid box office numbers and emerged as Seasons Sleeper. I felt like the film lacked depth or general spark, but Reese Witherspoon delivered a great lead role that helped make the film enjoyable. The DVD always offered a good picture and sound as well as a good mix of inserts. I`m even less enthusiastic about Legally Blonde as a film, but it`s a generally entertaining and humble effort that should work for a fairly wide audience, and DVDs a nice effort on every level. Reese Witherspoon plays Elle Woods, a sweet but seemingly superficial college student who mostly takes care of clothes, parties, and her Warner boyfriend (Matthew Davis).
At the beginning of the film, all of her sisters faint because they expect Warner to finally ask the question. At a fancy dinner, however, he takes the opportunity to officially fire Elle. He plans to become a politician one day, so he feels he needs a more serious spouse. She is a Californian sister who will do anything to keep her husband. Even if it means going all the way to law school! Reese Witherspoon (Election) stars with Luke Wilson (Charlie`s Angels), Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions) & Matthew Davis (Pearl Harbor). Unlike many MGM DVDs, Blonde does not include a booklet with production notes. However, he throws away a coupon for $2.50 of a 1/2 ounce Nicole liquid nail polish or nail treatment, so who am I complaining? Inside Legally Blonde gives us a pretty normal advertising program. The 21-minute, 35-second piece features the standard mix of film clips, some shots of the set, and interviews with a variety of participants. We hear from producer Marc Platt, screenwriter Amanda Brown, writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, director Luketic and actors Witherspoon, Matt Davis, Victor Garber, Holland Taylor, Selma Blair, Jennifer Coolidge and Jessica Cauffiel. Unlike summer big brothers like The Mummy Returns and Pearl Harbor, no one really thought Blonde would do much.
It was a simple comedy with no big stars or a lot of initial buzz. However, it turned out that it was the small band that could, as it consistently brought in decent sums of money over a reasonably long period of time. Most summer movies grabbed tons of dollars in their first few weeks, then stalled heavily, but Blonde just stopped it, and with a budget of only $18 million, it made a substantial profit for MGM. In addition to these two comments, Blonde offers a quiz track. This piece uses the subtitle area to provide video-style contextual information. Unlike most text comments, this one is not limited to the bottom of the screen. Instead, pastel color notes appear all over the picture, which looks cute but can get a bit boring; The presentation blocks essential parts of the image and can interfere too much with the film. Legal Blonde appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 as well as in full-screen version on this double-sided version.
A DVD-14, side one is two-layer and contains both versions of the film, while page two is single-layer and contains most of the supplements. The widescreen has been improved for 16X9 TVs.
