Summary: Enjoyable
Review: It was an enjoyable movie--and i do love Reese-- but was mostly fluff. Elle Woods has a job at a huge Boston law firm and is planning her wedding to Luke Wilson. Elle Wantsto invite everyone to her wedding (at Fenway Park, no less) including her dog Bruiser's long lost mother. Elle hires a pricey PI to track her down. He finds her in a cosmetics research faciliity that her firm represents. When Elle demands the firm force the cosmetics company to stop testing on thedogs, she is fired. Soon sge is inspired to change the law itself and heads off to Washington as a Congressional aide.Here's where things fall flat. I suppose its largely my own fault for having been involved in politics on the down and dirty level to the point I don't find satire of it amusing. LB II just didn't tweak politics quite as effectively as the first film ripped into the first year law student experience. Reese's Ms. Smith Goes to Washington" was too idealistic an unbelievable. There more some really good laugh out loud moments, but nothing like the first. Reese was, of course, beautiful as always. No bikini shots here, though. What's up with that? I liked Bob Newhart's role as a doorman and Washington insider who befriends Elle. He was much more subdued than I would have expeced. It would have been nice if they'd let Bob be Bob. It would have added a how new layerof effective jokes. They did let Sally Fields be Sally Fields, and she played Elle's manipulative, "bought and paid for" Congresswoman boss with gusto. I'm glad to see her still getting decent parts in a town the discards actresses after they hit forty, much less fifty. If you can accept the instant, idealistic, and unrealistic change Elle has on DC then you'll have a really good time. Reese even almost convinced this old cynical heart. Then again, I think Reese could sell oil to the Arabs, so you are probably asking the wrong guy about that.

Summary: Stinky to the Max
Review: Ok, I know what happened. Some prankster surreptitiously snuck in to the producers office and stole the original script and left a joke script that could only appeal to teenagers and Chihuahua's in it's place. The Prankster is now deceased. He died of laughter when they went ahead and made the movie anyway. Once again our perky, plucky, privileged Beverly Hills valley girl / Harvard Law graduate, Elle Woods, is cavorting around in her pricey extravagant fashions and has found an extremely BANAL cause. It seems that Elle hired the most expensive private detective available, to track down her Chihuahua dog, Bruiser's, mother. Why? So the she(Elle) could invite her(Bruiser's mother) to her(Elle's) wedding. From the detective's information she(Elle) finds out that mother is a lab test animal for a cosmetic company and she is crushed (Elle). She can't possibly have the wedding without the attendance of her dog Bruiser's, mother. Do you get the enormity of the situation? Great balls of fire Having been unable to effect any action on the home front and even getting fired from her Law Office, our determined crusader lady heads to Washington to work on the staff of two faced, Congresswoman Victoria Rudd(Sally Fields), to submit legislation for the elimination of test animals within cosmetic companies and of course after navigating numerous obstacles and...well you get the picture. I haven't seen a sillier movie since, well I don't remember but it's been a long time, maybe the Three Stooges. Silly is ok, in fact, it can even be good, if the movie is also funny. Madhouse, Ruthless People, and Road Trip come to mind as silly / stupid but extremely funny movies. Legally Blonde 2 wasn't very funny, it was a teensy bit cute and and has a decent sound track and that's why I gave it one star (1/2 rounded up). The reason it was cute was because of Whitherspoon. She has an angelic appearance and plays this character to a tee, like she was born for it. She's either an excellent actress giving life to a dull movie or she's not acting. In any case she is the movie and I hope she won't be typecast for this part and get some serious parts in the future. Another bright spot in a movie that was somewhat devoid of them, was the resurrection of Bob Newhart as Sid, Elle's Washington doorman. He was kind of her counselor and cheerleader. In Conclusion, this is a bad movie, a veritable shell of the original

Summary: 2nd worst movie of 2003
Review: I loved the first one, and this one just stunk. There was no meaning to it, and it just was dull. It wasn't funny whatsoever. I guess if I had to pick Legally Blonde or Uptown Girls, I'd pick Legally Blonde. It sucked

Summary: Good, Better than the first
Review: I saw all the negative comments on this DVD and thought it was really a failure.
However, contrary to my expectation, this movie was really better!. funnier, moving and her performance was refreshing and overall message of fighting injustice her own way regardless of all the red tapes was really great. Forget about all the criticism on this movie's unrealistic plot. If you want a serious legal fiction, go watch something else or go to court. This movie is a great, refreshing, yet inspiring movie with a lot of spice of legal fiction. I give this movie 5 stars no doubt!

Summary: Lost the formula.
Review: I really have no idea what they were thinking here. I went to see this at the theater, psyched that it was going to be a repeat of the first. I was wrong. The first one is so much better than this. The only thing they are doing here is trying to pass the 'bruiser bill', which is not a very interesting subject for this sequel. I think Reese's character should have been putting some of her lawyer talent to better use with a completely different storyline. This missed the mark. If they happen to make another in this series, I pray that it's not like this was.

Summary: FAKE BLONDE
Review: Everything that worked in Legally Blonde is noticeably absent in LEGALLY BLONDE 2: RED, WHITE AND BLUE (MGM/UA). A game Reese Witherspoon does her best with vapid material and collects her $15 mil. But you almost two hours of your life (not counting dubious extras on the disc).

Summary: Sorry
Review: I loved the first one, and it seemed from some reviews that this one was at least as good. No such luck. Basically, it was lame, lacking the charme, style, and well balanced humor that Legally Blonde had. As for Reese, I could eat her witherspoon, but she is not enough without help from a good script and good co-actors. (Who are those two rejects playing her best friends? They are not even pretty, which must be hard to find in Hollywood.)

Summary: Stinks.
Review: Truly awful. I'm at a loss for words. Really...nothing else to say. Horrid.

Summary: Another chance to hit your wallet
Review: Witherspoon is absolutely wonderful, so I watched the first "Legally Blonde" movie just because I enjoy her. It was mildly entertaining, however, this one had me turning off the tv after about ten minutes. Maybe it got better, but I'd really suggest renting it before buying it. Sometimes a sequel is just a waste of time and talent.

Summary: THE FIRST MOVIE WAS BETTER!!
Review: I was very excited about there being a 2nd movie in the Legally Blonde series. Oh boy, this movie was not only sick but a little insulting. I watched about 5 min. of this movie it seamed all right till I finally realized the plot!! Elle Woods trying to save her dogs mom from being put to sleep. I thought all right it's gought to get better. NOPE!!, She finally finds out that her dog is gay. I really wouldn't recommend this movie to you only because of very unrealistic cornier than the first movie!! If you have to see this movie, just rent it.
