Although Alice (played by Reese Witherspoon) possesses an enviable beauty—golden hair, fair skin, a tall figure, and expertise in dressing—she is like a perfectly crafted Barbie doll. Her beauty and vivacious personality make her the epitome of a perfect girl. Her boyfriend, Werner (played by Matthew Davis), also has impressive credentials, with a wealthy background and striking looks. They seem perfectly matched, but Werner never regarded Alice as a lifelong partner. In his eyes, Alice is merely a decorative object, possessing nothing beyond her beauty. Thus, after being admitted to Harvard Law School, he dumps Alice and reunites with his ex-girlfriend. Alice is unwilling to accept this fate and, through great effort, also gains admission to Harvard. She intends to prove through her actions that she is not just a pretty face. However, life at Harvard is extremely monotonous, and this golden-haired beauty faces discrimination at every turn. To everyone's surprise, Alice cleverly embarks on a successful business venture.
