Although the story is set in Washington, D.C., the film was shot in the offices at the Delta Center and the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. The supposed "aerial views" on Washington buildings were scale models built by the crew.[3]
The film opened on July 2, 2003, to generally negative reviews from critics. Nevertheless, it was a box office success, grossing $125 million worldwide. It was followed by a 2003 television pilot, starring Jennifer Hall, and a 2009 spin-off, Legally Blondes, starring Camilla and Rebecca Rosso, while a sequel is in development, with Witherspoon, Coolidge, Wilson, and Thomas reprising their roles.
