Thinking that her boyfriend has asked her to dinner to propose, SoCal sorority girl Elle Woods is surprised when he instead breaks up with her because he feels she isn’t serious enough to be suited for his future political aspirations.

When she’s finally given the chance to prove herself, however, Elle demonstrates that she’s more than just a pretty (blonde-headed) face!
