"You're breaking up with me because I'm too... blonde?" It may seem rediculous yet this is the basis of my favorite movie, released in 2001, Legally Blonde. A rich sorority girl from Bel Air is dumped by her political bound boyfriend because she is what society considers a "blonde." During the course of the movie she gets accepted into Harvard to win her love back but realizes he's not as important to her as she thinks.
