unfortunate implications need citations


* EarWorm: Omigod, omigod you guys!
* UnfortunateImplications: While this troper does like the CharacterDevelopment Emmett got in the musical, one of the best things about the movie was Elle realizing her potential and learning to work hard on her own. In the musical she has Emmett pushing her along. But I can accept it for reasons of developing the romance. What I can't accept is the inexplicable change of Elle getting into Harvard on her own being changed into her getting help from a dorky sorority sister.
** Actually, that was from the movie - one of Elle's sorority sisters helped her practice for her LSATs. It's a pretty quick scene, but it's there.
** At least one scene of Emmett working with Elle is arguably a needed change to get around some of the movie's YouFailLawForever (possibly literally); in the movie Elle goes to confront Paulette's ex just with Paulette, and says that she's Paulette's lawyer. In the play, they go with Emmett - this is actually, from a law student's point of view, good, [[FridgeBrilliance considering going alone and claiming to be Paulette's lawyer constitutes Unauthorized Practice of Law under the ethical rules set forth by the American Bar Association and could have kept Elle from ever actually practicing once she got out of Harvard]] - in fact, probably could have gotten her kicked out of school for unauthorized practice. As long as she's working with a licensed lawyer, she doesn't have to worry about that.

If that were Adaptation Distillation, it would have been making the story shorter somehow while maintaining the original spirit.


** At least one scene of Emmett working with Elle is arguably an example of AdaptationDistillation to get around some of the movie's YouFailLawForever (possibly literally); in the movie Elle goes to confront Paulette's ex just with Paulette, and says that she's Paulette's lawyer.
