LOS ANGELES, May 21 (UPI) -- Screenwriters Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith and Karen McCullah said they still see the influence of the film Legally Blonde, returning to theaters in 4K Sunday and Wednesday via Fathom Entertainment.

The duo adapted Amanda Brown's book about a sorority sister who got into Harvard Law School. Reese Witherspoon played Elle Woods in the movie and its sequel.

In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, McCullah said she still recognizes Legally Blonde quotes on graduating law students' caps and gowns.

"People put things on their hats like 'What, like it's hard' and quotes from the movie," McCullah said.
