This weekend I went and saw Legally Blonde: The Musical with a group of girlfriends. It was so much fun! I always enjoy plays and this one was great. I was actually amazed how they took the movie and made it into a musical. It was a lot of fun to watch. If you get a chance I highly recommend going!
However, Legally Blonde always makes me think of a college friend (who shall remain nameless) that HATED Legally Blonde. She didn't just dislike the movie but, in fact, refused to watch the movie. One day I asked her what her problem was and she said that the movie makes it seem as if "dumb" people could go to law school. You see this friend of mine had intended to go to law school for a very long time and the movie came out around the time she was taking her LSAT and applying to law school and she was quite certain that no one as "dumb" as Elle Woods could EVER make it in law school. At the time I never even imagined law school was in my future and I figured only really really smart people went to law school so I had to agree there was at least some logic to her argument.
Fast forward to present day... and I'm here to tell you that "dumb" people do go to law school. In fact they even graduated from law school! And yes, these folks even passed the bar!
And while I've never confirmed it with my friend I believe even she would agree that "dumb" people can make it in law school.

It's ironic who can actually do what, huh?
Dumb peole may be able to pass the LSATs, attend law school, graduate and pass the bar, but you, my dear, are NOT one of them!!!! You are as smart as they come!!!
I would like to see the musical... I've heard it's cute. Also, I happen to know a couple of people from high school who went to and excelled in Law school. Not mentioning any names, but I never pegged them as super smart... so there ya go!
Is your friend the same as mine? One of mine in college, who was just as you described with always wanting to do law school, absolutely hated the movie. Today she loves it. I had tried to convince her how great it was, and she finally decided to give in. Now she's a lawyer in California... same person?
You guessed it Kelly! She's the one in the same. Good job :)!
Okay, I am just soooo jealous that you went to the musical. I soooooo wanted to see it. I hope it was good.
Alright children.... Quit talking about me behind my back! I have since repented and do OWN the movie. And, yes, I agree that stupid people do go to law school, pass the bar, and even (sometimes) become judges!
