It’s the story of Elle Woods, Reese Witherspoon, a fashion merchandising student and sorority girl from South California. She is dating Warner Huntington III played by Matthew Davis.

Is this movie franchise on the list of "you ruined a good thing"? Much is being made of a new Legally Blonde movie, what does that look like?
