but not as a love story, more as a life/family story. I agree with you--it is a fine movie.I was looking forward to Leagally blond--I enjoyed election tremendously--but I turned it off at the beauty salon "CUTSIE MUSIC AND DANCE SEQUENCE."
Good movie IMHO, don't have cutsie music or dance sequences (unless it is a musical) and conversely bad movies, again IMHO, do have cutsie dance or music sequences. I know, I know my opinion is not in the mainstream--the movie viewing public seem to enjoy paying and sitting through them.
*Look at Gilbert Grape as an example--no "CMS"

No other way of explaining it really.Another movie with my fave actress Rachael Cook, She's All That, was punctuated by an inane group dance sequence that did nothing but burn screen time. It was a cute pygmalion update but it was hampered by this scene as well as liberal profanity.
I did not think of Gilbert Grape as a love story either. I was including it as a film that, were it not for my wife, I would probably never have watched. Same with Fried Green Tomatoes. In general though it is Romance/Romantic Comedy films that I most endure in the name of spousal solidarity.
You should finish Legally Blonde someday....you can always FF through the 'Bend & Snap' number.
