看律政俏佳人的观后感汇集(14)

All this is passably amusing, but once the film establishes Elle at Harvard, it seems at a loss as far as building on its eminently serviceable premise. It sets off in two directions, but neither one offers much in the way of satisfaction.

"Legally Blonde" first gives Elle a confidant in the form of a confidence-challenged manicurist named Paulette played by Jennifer Coolidge. Though Groundlings veteran Coolidge is invariably amusing ("Best in Show," a key cameo in "American Pie"), Paulette is too phlegmatic for even her talents to energize.
More misguided is the subplot concerning a murder case that Elle, as an intern for the defense team headed by one of her professors (Victor Garber), gets involved with. Though comedy legal proceedings neednt be as carefully plotted as Perry Mason, this one is so cockamamie that you can feel the interest leak out of the situation like air out of a balloon.
