Summary: what happened?
Review: Well, I wanted to watch this film the past summer while in Iowa. And I did watch most of it. But it got so stupid that I turned it off. In the first movie, Elle Woods proves herself at Harvard Law School. This time around, she takes it too far. She's planning her wedding...not so bad there, when she discovers that she doesn't know the whereabouts of Bruiser, her per Chihuahua's mother. So she (gasp) goes on a quest to find Bruiser's mom, and discovers that Bruiser's mom is in a laboratory for cosmetics, and is being used in animal testing. So she goes off to Washington to get the laws regarding animal testing changed so that Bruiser's mom can be at Elle's wedding. But everyone in Washington is unsupportive, and Elle has lost her brain somewhere, so the movie progresses with Elle's halfhearted, slapstick efforts at ending animal testing. At this point I turned it off. The charm and fun of the first movie, as well as the plot, is lacking here. I expected Elle to be working on a case similar to the one she did in the first movie, where she's trying to prove a friend's innocence. But no, we have a bunch of unsupportive Washington people and a very dumb Elle Woods. This is a horrible movie. I expected better and was seriously disappointed with it. It could have been better.

Summary: Not as good as the first
Review: In the first, Reese Witherspoon was cute ditzy. In this, she's just plain annoying. It wasn't up to scratch, and the first is so much better. It's exactly the same storyline as the first one, and nothing has changed. Elle goes to work at Congresswoman Rudd's office. She finds out that she dosen't fit in with everyone else initially. Remove Harvard Law school; insert the latter. Grace Rossiter (Regina King) is nothing more than the sequel's version of Vivian Kensington (Selma Blair). Reese's hair changes with every scene, and as she was still growing out her short hairstyle from Sweet Home Alabama, all Elle's hair and hairstyles throughout the movie are top-grade wigs.

This features nearly all of the original characters from the first, along with some brand new ones - Sally Field for instance. I would have loved to see Selma Blair return.

Once more there are loads of extras, pink & fluffy, and not of much use, much like the movie. They're much the same as the original DVD extras. These include: commentary; trivia track; featurette; music video "Perfect Day" by Hoku; deleted scenes; "We Can" music video by LeAnn Rimes; "Welcome to Delta Nu" interactive quiz; "Blonde Ambition" featurette and photo gallery.

If you can get this on the cheap, then I suggest you go for it, but only if you enjoyed the first one, and I mean, really enjoyed it. It's not worth the hassle otherwise.

Summary: Humorous but misleading as a sequel.
Review: I absoluely LOVED Legally Blonde and was excited for this movie but I was completely disappointed. I didn't like this movie as a sequel because in Legally Blonde you assumed Elle became a "serious" person, no longer a "ditz". Yet, in Legally Blonde 2, Elle is yet again a "ditz". The movie itself wasn't so bad and could inspire people to get more involved in Government but at the same time, I doubt it because she was so stereotypically a "dumb blonde" throughout the movie.

Summary: a disappointment
Review: Legally Blonde is one of my favorite movies, but this sequel is a bit of a disappointment. The story is very contrived, and the acting too exaggerated. Also, while it gives me a few chuckles, on the whole it's not that funny. In contrast, the first episode has a much more believable story line, is more clever and thoughtful, and much much funnier. Legally Blonde 1 is a "must see", but LB2 is forgettable. I enjoyed seeing Mary Lynn Rajskub though; I think she is more talented and attractive than people give her credit for.

Summary: Horrible, Irrational Waste-of-MY-time
Review: Although I ADORED the first Legally Blonde movie, I thought Legally Blonde 2 was absolutely retarted! Reese Witherspoon always does a great job in any movie she is given, and this one was no exception. But who wrote this plot? It was completely irrational [but maybe that's how it was supposed to be]. That being said, I didn't enjoy it, and neither did my husband.

Besides the plot, I have another huge complaint with this movie! Elle Woods's dog, Bruiser, turns out to be a gay dog, which went well with the completely irrational, retartedness of the movie. The person who came up with that surprise needs to get out of the movie-making business. And it didn't even stop there. At the end of the movie, the two dogs are "married." I cannot express how much the part about Bruiser being gay rubbed me the wrong way.

I figure I'll get a bad review for my opinion of this movie, and so be it! This movie was just wrong.
