BethDarrow Timothy Corrigan provides writing prompts - referred to as writing cues - in the ninth edition of his book: A Short Guide to Writing about Film. In the first writing cue of the text, he encourages the student reader to identify "a scene in a film you've recently seen that most affected you" (7). This is a response to that writing prompt. Legally Blondes is the third installment in the Legally Blonde series. It is a spin-off teen comedy produced in 2009 that is directed by Savage Steve Holland and co-produced by Reese Witherspoon. The video is unremarkable and remarkable. It is unremarkable because some viewers consider it a terrible installment in the franchise. The acting is not high quality, the imagery is not especially intriguing, and there are no sudden twists in the writing that would surprise the average film watcher. Yet, it is also remarkable because it is the first and only video that twins Milly Rosso and Becky Rosso have starred in. Their characters were believable because they embodied a sisterly fidelity to one another that is seen in sibling relationships throughout the real world. The scene with the most profound effect was the one in which their sisterly affection became most apparent. Despite the fact that the two actors were extremely inexperienced, they were able to use their real world sisterly friendship to their benefit in the portrayal of these twin characters. The closeness between the characters did not appear contrived in the actors' portrayal due to their real world relationship. The character that Milly Rosso plays is Annie Woods while her sister Becky plays Izzy. In the story, the twins emigrate with their recently widowed father from London to Southern California. They receive scholarships to attend an expensive college preparatory school. Their new high school has social tension due to the income disparity between the families of the students. Due to their charm, appealing accents, and unknowing beauty, they become instant celebrities on their campus. In turn, they quickly make foes as well. One of their classmates who sets about on a plan to drive the twins apart is the character Tiffany played by Brittany Curran. She uses the twins' naivety to convince them that the other sister is plotting against them. She indicates to Annie that Izzy has been trying to steal her crush, Chris. Afterwards, Tiffany tells Izzy that Annie is envious of the time she spends with him. Part of Tiffany's plan works because she successfully frames one of the twins for cheating on a test. The scene begins with their father speaking to them in their new home. He tries to understand the issue but realizes that his daughters simply need to communicate better to resolve the problem. While the framed sister exasperatedly leaves the living room after the argument, their father encourages the remaining twin to go after her sister and fix their miscommunication. This scene transpires after the only argument between the sisters that is held throughout the course of the story. It begins with the two sisters huddled together in their backyard. They sit on a comfort lounge near their pool while the Southern California stars glimmer above them. They realize that someone else has forced this split in their contentment. They both apologize to the other and explain to the other exactly what they believe that they themselves are at fault for in the disagreement. After they tearfully hug, apologize, and make up with their signature secret handshake, they begin to create a plan on how to fix the framing. What is most touching in the scene is the sincerity with which the actors portray the tension these characters had and the equally heartfelt moment in which they resolve their problems. Many people with siblings can explain that the love between them is unlike any other yet these seemingly inevitable rivalries can lead to some of the most heated, cruel, and contentious arguments. Although it may look contrived to those unfamiliar with sibling friendships, it is apparent to any sibling just how important the act of reconciliation is between them. It is easy to appreciate this tender moment, because both the dialogue and the demeanor of the actors encourage the idea that even in friendships in which people are related by blood, accountability - especially apologizing - is crucial for that friendship to thrive. Despite the ridiculous moments, poor acting, and bad writing that is evident throughout the film, that scene is one that nearly redeems the entire video.

lippylip26 WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD I loved this show Cheesy and sometimes a bit silly but a somewhat somber reflection of class behavour The rich vs the poor See it all the time and Tiffiney is the epitimy of it The justice served out to her and Justin could not have been more fitting It was well worked out and planned with precision So far there are three movies in the series Legally Blonde 1 2 and 3 I see there's a 4th one in the pipeline due in 2020 I will be there for that one without a shadow of a doubt There are only two in the franchise that I consider worthwhile watching Legally Blonde 2 to me was stupid Interesting message but no oomph or excitement When Ellie nails the daughter for murder and the reaction in the court it's something to behold In legally Blondes when the twins nail Justin and Tigginey it was brilliant Tiffany's reaction was PRICELESS and the final result benefited her and Justin to a T Personally I would rate 1 and 3 both 9s 2 I would only give a 6 to Legally blondes 2 was the weakest one of the lot I look forward to seeing the next movie in the series Apparently the twins and Elie are back in this one

lippy-8 Having seen and bought the first two in the series I would rate this an 8 Legally Blonde 1 was excellent Legally Blonde 2 was fair but had a very disappointing ending Legally Blondes was also fair but enjoyable Despite what many critics say there are many references and incidents from the first two movies They are very similar in many ways and several of the scenes are reminiscent of LB 1 Warning spoilers The party fiasco The shoe incident The outburst at the end by Tiffany The rejecting of the twins by the rest of the school The acting might not have been the best but Everyone carried off their roles well The downfall of Tiffany was most welcome because it was carried off very well by the actress to make her much disliked and showed how shallow and vain a person can be and how family class and snobbery is so rife in our schools today I DO recommend this movie and am very contented to have this as part of my LEGALLY BLONDE COLLECTION I hope a Sequel will be made soon which I DEFINITITLY will add to my collection

Gordon-11 This film is about two blonde twins from Britain, moving to the USA to study in their famous cousin's school."Legally Blondes" is a low budget rip off of the first "Legally Blonde". The storyline is basically the same, only that it happens in a high school, and every that could have looked glamorous is downgraded to stuff you find in a neighbourhood charity store. A fluffy chick flick has this obligatory shopping scene of trying different glamorous outfits in a store, but it does not even look glamorous or entertaining. I also could not tell between Izzy and Annie, as the film makes no distinction between them whatsoever. Maybe it was the intention of the filmmakers, but as a viewer I would like to know which is which when I am watching the film. In addition, the level of intelligence in "Legally Blondes" is woefully inadequate, it makes it seem like a teenage version of "Legally Blonde" but a lot worse. In short, "Legally Blondes" is a disappointing sequel.
