Don't see any Elle Woods here

I'm watching Reese Witherspoon in her Oscar-winning turn as June Carter in Walk the Line. This is (at least) the third time I've seen this movie, and each time I admire her more. At first I was just surprised by her singing, her twang, and her big 1960s hair. (Elle Woods would never be so backcombed.) But there's a maturity, compassion and strength to this performance that Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama never even hinted at.

And who can resist the love story?

  1. Funny... I was watching Legally Blonde over the weekend.
