NOTE: I’d recommend you watch or be a bit familiar with the musical and/or movie before reading my opinion on Emmett :) Alright, I’m going to be completely genuine when I say I didn’t personally like Emmett Forest in the original movie that much (Legally Blonde-2001). He wasn’t a bad character by any means, in all actuality I found him an excellent love interest and partner figure to Elle Woods throughout the movie, though, to me, he wasn’t really vital until the musical adaptation. As stated in my previous post, I enjoy musicals quite a bit, though, the only thing that Legally Blonde didn’t really get down to the T was the characterization of Emmett Forest, the lawyer Elle ends up with at the end of the movie. Their relationship is excellent, as you would expect, though in the musical adaptation, not expected.
