Summary: Much Better Than the First!
Review: It is SO unfair to call this film a sequel, because it has it's own plot line, and although some characters are older, you could see this one without seeing the first.

This fact aside, "Legally Blonde 2" may well be the best movie of the summer, with Reese's excellent portayl of Elle, and who could forget Paulette? Full of bubbly humor and cute outfits, this movie deserves every possible award that exists.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very Dissappointing
Review: I was not expecting the sequel to be as well done as the first movie. This is usually the case and therefore I would have been satified with even an attempt at trying to recapture all the elements of the first.
The first movie had the same wonderful elements like "Clueless" the star seemed like a shallow ditz but you started to realize that underneath was a brain and understanding of the world around her, however, so far, she had only used this understanding in her own world, yet when she turned it in other directions she soon becomae a succes in those areas. This is what made the first movie such a surprise, you really liked the character, and Reese Witherspoons likeability only added to this. The second movie ONLY relies on Rees's likeability. This isn't a mistake as she has it in bucketloades. But I would have liked to see her in a better sequel than this.
First they took the intelligent girl from the end of the first movie and turned her into an idiot who is trying to find her dogs mother so she can send her an invitation to her wedding...And it gets worse from there. Where in the first movie she used her intelligence to get through tough situations, in this movie it's just lucky hapenstances. Her doorman happens to know how to get a bill passed, one of the congresswoman she needs to sign onto the bill happens to be a former member of her sorority and they do a ridiculous dance of recognition in a salon, sure, a hardbitten congresswoman is going to suddenly squeal and dance around in public like an idiot. Next we have her old friend the manicurist from Boston who gives congresswoman freaky haircuts for which they are so greateful they sign on to Elle's Bill, So THATS how laws get passed.
To say I was dissappointed would be putting it mildly. It didn't even go so far as the fact that they got most of the bill making process wrong, it mostly has to do with the fact that they took a great character "Elle Woods" and turned her into the idiot that everybody in the beginning of the first movie wrongly thought she was.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Sequel Ever!
Review: There are very few sequels which turn out to be as good as the original and this is one of them. Legally Blonde 2 is full of humor and Elle Woods returns with even more pink outfits! I recommend this movie to anyone!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great message, but too silly...
Review: First off, I'm a huge fan of the first Legally Blonde film. I adored Reese Witherspoon as the naïve, flighty, well-meaning Elle Woods. However, I have to say, that I was very disappointed with this second Legally Blonde film.

This latest glimpse into the unlikely career path of Elle Woods finds Elle taking her signature style to Washington in hopes of liberating cosmetic test animals and thus allowing her chihuahua's mother (yes, Bruiser's mother) to attend her wedding ceremony. How's that for a premise?

While Elle's bubble-headed antics were endearing in the first film, they were a bit much this time around. Elle seemed to show some maturity at the end of the first Legally Blonde, but Red, White, and Blonde proved me wrong. Instead of coming across as lawyer-savvy the character was drawn as overly naïve and little-girlish. Even the secondary characters from the first film (Paulette, etc.) were over-the-top and annoying in this movie. Let's face it....these aren't meant to be great pieces of cinematic history, but this one fell so short that it was too silly even to be the fun experience that I think it was meant to be.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Illegally Bad Movie
Review: I honestly could not believe how pitifully bad this film was. The first one was actually pretty funny; but this one was painful. To add injury to insult, the movie ends abruptly! At the end you are left wondering if they ran out of film in the camera, couldn't decide how to finish, or just felt like they had tortured the moviegoers long enough and might as well call it quits. Don't go see this one in the theater. It's not worth the [money].

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: That movie made my day!
Review: Elle Woods (AKA: Reese Witherspoon!) was the best. She had style, charm, wits, motivation, class, beauty, and the Delta Nu style!

I thought the plot was hilarious, and it was mostly about Elle in DC and trying to save her wedding by reuniting Bruiser (Elle's Chihuahua) with his Mom.

In this movie Elle has a new (~sky blue)Audi TT roadster and a new Pink computer!!!

Well, I should leave the rest for you. I give the movie 5 stars ***** and 2 thumbs up!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wasted poteneial
Review: This movie follows a really great, fun watching movie. It had so much potential and was ruined by making the two dogs GAY! What did this have to do with anything?!Dogs don't feel love for each other; are not in committed relationships! There was no need for this useless side story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really Enjoyable
Review: This movie knows it is kitchy and stupid, and doesnt try to be anything else. The movie is fun and makes Washington look wacky. I laughed a lot at so many of the jokes. It's a great movie for summertime. If only Washington was really like this, it would nake CSPAN much more interesting.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Would have been funny if it had lived up to the first.
Review: I'm really disappointed to say that Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde wasn't funny. I was very suprised at how stupid and boring it was after the hilarious Legally Blonde in 2001. There is not one funny new character, all the new ones are stale and boring. Even most of the old characters such as Paulette and the rest of Elle's friends are bland and/or annoying. The only reason I'm giving this more than one star is because Reese Witherspoon's performance, like last time, is perfect for the role.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Legally Blonde 2 A Big Disappointment
Review: I was really looking forward to this sequel to Legally Blonde. However, I was greatly disappointed with Legally Blonde 2. It just does not measure up to the first movie. The story line and the writing are weak. There were very few real laughs and the movie seemed to be straining too hard. It lacked the innocence and freshness of the first movie.

I also found Legally Blonde 2 to be very preachy, quite a propaganda piece. Perhaps some of the audience will agree with the politics, but many will not, and consequently, those going to the film seeking pure entertainment will be not only bored, but irritated with the preachiness that permeates the film. Actually, my companion and I who went to the film felt quite ripped off. We felt like the appeal of the first film drew us to this film, only to sit through something that was used as a tool to aggressively promote a political point of view. Heavily promoted to a young audience, this film drives its agenda hard, an agenda for animal rights and gay marriage. Although many people support these issues, there are many who do not. And, based upon the success of the first movie, droves of people will go to this movie and be subjected to what is basically a propaganda film. At least with advertising, people know they are being sold something; Legally Blonde 2 is a huge mega advertisement under the guise of popular entertainment.
