Plot

California University of Los Angeles sorority president Elle Woods is taken to a restaurant by her boyfriend, Warner Huntington III. She expects a proposal, but he breaks up with her instead. Intending to become a successful senator, he believes Elle is not "serious" enough for that life. Elle assumes she can win Warner back by achieving the same things. After months of studying, Elle scores a 179 on the Law School Admission Test. With that and her 4.0 GPA, she is accepted to Harvard Law School, which Warner will also attend.
