Don’t underestimate Legally Blonde (2001), a hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy with a lot to say to so many different kinds of people - and that includes you!
We dig into the strong feminism of the film and the brilliant ways in which it plays into stereotypes even as it tears them down.
We also reckon with the uncomfortable question of why it has taken Tom so long to see this movie - and why some of people who would most benefit from seeing this movie probably never will.
