Pootie Tang (2001)by Josh JonesPootie's got more than one joke, but only enough for this single layered, but thankfully brief, outing.. Legally Blonde (2001)by Cynthia FuchsIf you pay money to see it, 'Legally Blonde' presumes, you get the joke: all this foofiness is really just a way to sugar-coat Elle's steely resolve, admirable ingenuity, and fabulous moral fiber, and -- more importantly -- to indict the entrenched gender/class/race systems that put her in her place (on top, sort of).
