bulletClean/Unclean, Judgment
bullet(About 20.19 on DVD) As California sorority girl Elle Woods arrives at Harvard, she clearly doesn't fit the picture of a Harvard Law Student--and she is treated like it, in this and subsequent themes. (F. Elizabeth Givens, Associate Pastor, Reveille UMC, Richmond, VA)
bullet "Though we might question the validity of such a message in real life, the truth is that every person is far more than the superficial categories in which our first-impression stereotypes place them." (Cinema in Focus, review by Hal Conklin and Denny Wayman)
bulletDoers of the Word
bullet
I used excerpt from different areas of this film to show how God has imparted each of us with spiritual gifts.  Eph. 4:11.  God gives each of special gifts, and he expects us to use them.  Elle had gifts she never knew existed until she rose to the challenge of being more than what she was.  Her success in the courtroom trial scene underscores the importance of using gifts even if the world denies the gifts exist. (Pam Hall, Hilliard UMC, Florida)
