Legally Blonde (2001)
While Reese Witherspoon and her costars (particularly Victor Garber and Jennifer Coolidge) are fine, the direction is incredibly flat and the editing worse, enervating the entire production. The film misses any sense of lightness, and the music does not match the scenes. Not recommended.
