    Special Features
    Side one includes two audio commentary tracks and a trivia track that provides important information throughout the movie like what percentage of American women (and straight men) paint their nails. Good luck turning it off once you start it. Side two includes eight deleted scenes with introductions, two featurettes, and a Hoku music video.

      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Looking for another Election? Well, look elsewhere...Legally Blonde is, however, a fun girlie movie about Elle Woods (Witherspoon), a California blonde with a blonde Chihuahua, perfect clothes, hair, and nails, fabulous friends, and the cutest boyfriend on fraternity row. Until he dumps her for being

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture is sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. The picture is colorful and well balanced. Fleshtones appear very natural against the bright pinks often found in the backgrounds. There is a trace of edge enhancement detected at times, but the picture is solid otherwise, with little pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #103 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    It sat on the nightstand while my husband was deployed. It was “his” magazine. I had my own cooking, home decorating type magazines to peruse. However, one night I reached for Widescreen Review. It was love at first read. I learned so much about new technology and products. I enjoyed the articles and appreciated the reviews. My husband returned home from his military commitment in early July. We now share the magazine, and sometimes we even fight over it.
