Definitely needed a brainless comedy and this fit the bill. Witherspoons falling into law school for all the wrong reasons and finding that she has a brain for it, while at the same time seemingly completely unaware of her surroundings. Sort of a charming, socially clueless, narcissist. And yet in this cluelessness somehow both reinforces and subverts social stereotypes. Wait, why was this "good"? It is excellent hollywood giving the audience (regardless of your point of view) something to like. So it feels good.
3 stars (out of 5)
