I understand why this film won Oscars. Great story, great acting, well paced, visually interesting. I cared about these people. I didn’t want the ending I knew was coming to happen.
Penn was understated and really inspiring in this part. But then he is a really great actor.
And after vowing to never watch another Van Sant film after Last Days, I am glad we gave this one a watch.

The story of Harvey Milk, and his struggles as an American gay activist who fought for gay rights and became California’s first openly gay elected official.
We came home from an exhausting day and overnight in New York City and just needed a fun little film that required no concentration. Legally Blonde fit this well.
We have seen this film before, probably multiple times. And it is a film I enjoy every time I see it. The film has that whole “you can do anything you set your mind too” and “don’t judge people by how they look” message thing going, but mostly it is just a fun film of a girl becoming more than she ever thought and doing it with a whole bunch of people that see different things in her.
I have to admit that I love the Jennifer Coolidge character in this film. So awkward and so good hearted. It is no wonder that Elle trust her almost instantaneouly. And Reese Witherspoon is really likeable as Elle, especially when she gets to Harvard.
No, this film will never make a top 1000 for best film ever made list. But it will almost always be on my “What a Fun Film” list. Should it have been made into a Broadway Musical? Well, that is a whole different debate.
