Elle Woods has it all. She's the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June in her campus calendar, and, above all, a natural blonde. She dates the cutest fraternity boy on campus and wants nothing more than to be Mrs. Warner Huntington III. But, there's just one thing stopping Warner from popping the question: Elle is too blonde.
This movie contains 25 potentially triggering events.
Not explicitly, but Paulette's ex boyfriend is verbally abusive towards her and won't return her dog to her. In the scene where Elle and Paulette confront him he gets nasty to Paulette, but is ultimately put in his place by the ladies.
A man in a place of power hits on a young student he is responsible for. He makes suggestive comments and puts his hand on her knee. She immediately rejects him and leaves.
A character's nose is broken on screen. We see the impact that breaks it, but not the actual injury. Later we see that character with a clean dressing on their face. No blood at all.
A minor character's father is killed off screen. The plot focuses a lot on the murder. It's not particularly graphic in detail but an adult daughter does recount seeing her dead parent.
It's mentioned in passing that a man got back together with his ex before he dumps his current girlfriend. The same thing happens again with a different set of characters. Finally there is also an alleged affair between two more characters.
When Paulette accidentally breaks the UPS guy’s nose, there is a super quick and pretty subtle cracking sound. I really hate bone breaking sounds and I can watch this scene no problem.
A character refers to herself as fat in a self-depricating way. It's clear she considers it a flaw. She gets a happy ending without having to change herself though, for what it's worth.
No, but a professor uses a Black student as an example of someone who might lose his life due to legal uncertainty and whacks his head with a pencil to illustrate she’s talking about him.
Most of the sexual content is innuendo. There is mention of two characters spending 4 hours in a hot tub, for example. However, there is explicit mention of a woman being with an older man because of his penis size.
A male character earnestly admits to being bullied to the point of tears by a professor. He pauses and adds that he held it back until he was alone. Nobody ridicules him, but I felt there was a miiiild undercurrent of "played for laughs" about the whole thing.
Elle sees a salon and makes a U-turn in the middle of the road to drive back toward it. Cars honk and traffic is disrupted in the background, but no visible car accidents or injuries.
