<em>'Legally Blonde'</em> is interesting only for its existence; a failed pilot for a proposed television series. There's not much to note about it really, you can sorta see why the network didn't green light the project; I will say those involved did fit a fair bit in across the 20 minute run time. Jennifer Hall portrays Elle Woods, a character that feels not much alike her counterpart in the original movies with Reese Witherspoon - weirdly, Hall's Elle reminded me more of Alyson Hannigan's Michelle in <em>'American Pie'</em>. The awful YouTube quality also made her eyes look creepy, somewhat amusingly. There is at least not one, but two uses of Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles', though the absence of Terry Crews is debilitating. That one scene with Caitlin Mowrey and her character's mother is actually pretty solid, definitely the only part of this now TV movie that stands out.
