LB is a comedy and a spoof.


I first watched this movie 14 years ago, I just watched it again.

It is just a fun comedy that spoofs sororities, law school, lawyers, relationships, and trials. It is not to be taken seriously. Looking at many of the questions and comments already on this board, I am amazed that some discuss it as if it were supposed to be a serious movie. Plot holes? The whole movie is a plot hole, that what makes it enjoyable. For those who actually enjoy it.

Yes, it is a comedy that does spoof sororities, school, etc nobody argues that. However, that does not mean that there are not good messages in the movie. The movie shows that blonde girls shouldn't be stereotyped as a dumb, shallow people. The movie is all about not judging a book by it's cover. Just because someone likes pink doesn't mean they are dumb and shallow. Many people truly buy into such stereotypes. My sister LOVES pink and has a bubbly personality, and people do judge her for it. They feel like idiots when they learn she is a pediatrician (who happened to graduate top of her class from med school). When I was in school, people would make judgments about me after learning I was in a sorority and liking fashion. After hearing that I was double-majoring in chemistry and biology and was an honor student, they would quickly change their tune. So while it is a comedy and spoof, there are definitely some really good messages there that I think you totally missed.
