I think what really makes this movie for me is Elle's slowly awakening to how the world sees her. She doesn't really KNOW that Harvard lets her in not JUST because she has perfect grades (which she DOES -- she is in no ways dumb!) but also because she's a beautiful and quirky non-Harvard person. But she does start to realize how the world sees her and how it plans to treat a woman like her when that sleazy old lawyer dude starts coming on to her. And THAT's when the movie comes together for me, because she's like, FUCK THAT SHIT. MY SMARTS, I WILL SHOW YOU THEM.
Or, at any rate, this is how i remember the movie -- it's been probably 8 years since i saw it. I think i'll make a note to watch it again.
Also: I love her adorable Mac in the sea of staid PC laptops.
