Legally Blonde (5/11) Movie CLIP - Kicked Out of Class (2001) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Conspiring with Vivian (Selma Blair), Professor Stromwell (Holland Taylor) asks Elle (Reese Witherspoon) to leave class.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Reese Witherspoon stars in this romantic comedy, the feature film debut of award-winning Australian director Robert Luketic. As a ravishing Miss Hawaiian Tropic, sorority president, and calendar girl, Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is a big hit on the campus of her sun-drenched Los Angeles college. She's also got the perfect boyfriend in Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis), a wealthy East Coast blue blood. Fearing that his snooty friends and family will never accept the bubble-headed Elle, however, Warner dumps her before heading off to graduate law school at Harvard University. Determined to win back her man, Elle enrolls in the same imposing institution, quickly becoming an object of scorn and ridicule, especially to Warner's old prep school flame (Selma Blair). Despite her penchant for malls, makeup, and tanning, Elle is no dummy and is soon showing elite Ivy League snobs a thing or two about class, self-confidence, and courtroom victory.

HIT US UP:

I like to imagine someone else sitting in that classroom somewhere, thinking "thank god I wasn't picked, I didn't know we had any assigned reading either!"

[ags]

"Wasn't aware we had an assignment." Just the best words to say to a teacher.

[marlonnartea]

I would hate to be in that class, ill prolly be shaking in fear all the time

[amypeps]

“I recommend knowing before speaking”

THEN STOP PICKING ON ME WHEN I DONT RAISE MY HAND

[nathanielwilson]

I'm fairly certain that what offended the Professor was Elle's casual, nonchalant, cute, tee hee attitude when she said she didn't know there was an assignment. Maybe if Elle had been serious and showed real remorse for not have knowing about the assignment she may have let her stay in the classroom.

[baileyroca]

Please at least half the class didn't do the that bs reading and the rest probably skimmed it at best

[merrymerry]

"I recommend knowing before speaking." Great clip, great education.

[castlenovelistBOOKS]

Elle was actually pretty nice. She didn't make fun of anyone or laugh at other people. She was just cheerful.

[paul_rymar]

Did anyone catch that her professor is also a blonde?

[josenotmarichan]

My father and brother are lawyers. During their experience as law students, this is really how law professors are. They are "purposely rude". No one wants future lawyers who are unprepared, because after all, they are dealing with the law, and your client's life and fate is in your hands.

[residentbogwitch]

Elle‘s outfit really gives me Rita Skeeter vibes

[ddthewolf]

I love the later scene where the professor shows up and gives Elle the courage to go back

[itsjemmabond]

As much as I love Elle, I agree with Vivian and the professor. If you're a university student - a Law student for that matter - you must keep abreast and be prepared, or you can't be a lawyer. Did anyone notice she was the only one without a laptop?

[miamackenzie]

God that teacher is a legend, she actually gave me chills when teaching about being sure of yourself since someone else’s life would hang in the balance. Unfair to Elle, but a legend

[dextermosburg]

What I'm confused about is- how was Elle not notified that she had reading to do before the semester? like, I know that she needed to mess up in the beginning in order to give the movie plot, but wouldn't she have been told? Wouldn't there have been a letter from Harvard saying "You need to read this, this, and this."? Elle worked super hard to get into Harvard so she obviously wouldn't have slacked off right after she had gotten in. What gives???

[lauratodd]

Holland Taylor's voice is everything.

[shenahpark]

Reminds me of Harry Potter's first class.

[Starlight]

Most professors don’t care this much if you’re paying attention or not. As long as you’re not distracting it’s not the professor’s problem, it’s your own GPA’s.

[morley]

I have a theory, Do you have a clip when she said "Ur not the girl I thought you are"

So, Prof. Stromwell is the Legally Blonde before Elle Woods?

[kait]

I love looking back on the clips from the earlier parts of the movie because you can see the anxious, fear-of-fitting-in Elle and how she transformed so much into her own person through hard work and dedication later on.
