| − | |A pro-feminist musical that also promotes every aspect of the "valley girl" lifestyle. Smart people (such as those who go to law school) are described as "boring, ugly, serious people" by the father of Elle Woods (the film's protagonist). It also contains hidden demeaning remarks about dark-haired people. Spawned a sequel that ultimately wasn't much better, which included a homosexual joke involving Elle Woods' pet chihuahua (despite the original film implying that said dog was infatuated by the Taco Bell chihuahua mascot, a female). | + | |A pro-feminist musical that also promotes every aspect of the "valley girl" lifestyle.
