Seeing all those images recalled the days of Reese Witherspoon making audiences laugh. Of course, like any Witherspoon rom-com, the actress was stylish and ready for work. She wanted everyone to know the 2000s rom-com queen was back in effect. Again, Witherspoon seemed just as excited to return to her roots as followers were. Hopefully the joy she expressed will translate to her and co-star Ashton Kutcher’s onscreen chemistry.
Shooting Your Place or Mine with Ashton Kutcher is a welcomed return to the once-dominate genre. The Netflix film marks the first time Reese Witherspoon has done the genre since 2017’s Home Again. As most Witherspoon fans know, the actress was one of Hollywood’s top rom-com stars in the 2000s and 2010s. Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama and Just Like Heaven are still remembered and quoted to this day. This will be a pleasant change from dramatic roles like Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere viewers have come to know from the Oscar winner.
But Your Place or Mine is just the beginning of Witherspoon’s rom-com return. Of course, most viewers already know Legally Blonde 3 is currently in the works. The news put moviegoers on alert that Elle Woods and the “bend and snap” are poised for a monumental return. With Mindy Kaling serving as the writer, the much-anticipated sequel is bound to be filled with pink power suits and dogs named Bruiser. Viewers should be prepared to see Elle taking on the next phase of her life.
With Reese Witherspoon returning to romantic comedies, fans will once again get to see Witherspoon’s comedic timing and delivery on the screen. Along with the two rom-coms, the actress has multiple projects coming down the pipeline. No date has been announced for Your Place or Mine, while Legally Blonde 3 is currently in development with a 2022 release date.
