Summary: Elle Woods Goes to Washington ... for her Chihuahua's Mom
Review: From the beginning we know it's not going to work. You see, this sequel is about Reese Witherspoon's career-making character Elle Woods, which was originally based on the prejudice against blonde women. This time, it is not.Now Elle is going to marry Luke Wilson's character Emmett. She must invite everyone she loves, including the biological mother of her Chihuahua named Bruiser. Elle is shocked to know that she is kept in a lab of a cosmetic company, and they are going to give some (apparently) terrible test on her. So what is Elle going to do? Clad in pink, she goes to Washington, to make a law against experiment on animals. PLEASE. I say, please. Social issues like animal rights could be worthy cause, but this is not the right place to deal with them. Should we be talking about Elle and her life? OK, I ignore that point, but still there are many problems. As Elle is not a Congressperson, let alone president of the United States, she needs some tricks to reach her end. And what does she do? Sorry to disappoint you, but it is done with so many incredible coincidences (my count rose up to at least four). She walks the dog, the dog falls in love with another dog, whose owner turns out you know who. I don't say that politics should be treated more seriously. I know it is a comedy, but the process of legislation looks very simple and easy. Not that the real US Congress is so. But when you see the cheerleaders' dance is so influential in Washington, I start to worry about the kids who watch this film. That joyful "Bend and Snap" trick worked because it is done in beauty salon. And we have already known the outcome of the love between Elle and Emmett, and that reduces considerably the value of the story. I am surprised to see the director's name Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, whose "Kissing Jessica Stein" is so charming with a fresh look on lesbianism. Now in "Legally Blonde 2" we have clithed jokes on politics and even gays (not again). The original's interesting premise about the woman with brain and blonde hair is sadly missing. This sequel is nothing but a recycled idea. I know this is not so bad ... as a sequel, and some people (young girls in particluar) find it empowering experience. But of course, you can see more effective films like "Spirited Away" or "Whale Rider." In short, stick to the first one, which is much fresh and enpowering.

Summary: A sad excuse for a sequel
Review: I saw and enjoyed Legally Blond, the first movie, and nearly saw the second in the theater, but I am so glad I didn't! Reese Witherspoon is a very talented actress, but despite that I can't give this movie more than one star. It was a total embarrassment! In a movie like this I expect the plot to be somewhat unreal and silly, but they really went too far with this one. In the movie she's trying to pass a bill to get rid of animal testing, but I found it totally unconvincing. I kept waiting for her to say something half way intelligent. After all, she's supposed to be a Harvard grad is she not? But they did nothing to endear me to the main character and her plight to make me care whether she won or lost. So the plot was bad, and on top of that they made the members of Congress look like total idiots. And I really could have done without the... dog jokes!!! Not to mention, the big chested friend who married the UPS guy is even stupider than before, if that's possible! This movie was a disappointment any way you looked at it and I'm embarrassed to say that I watched the whole thing.

Summary: Talented actors, horrible story
Review: I loved Legally Blonde. It was funny, irreverant, silly, and just plain entertaining. I just can't say the same about its sequel. How can you assemble a cast like this and give them a stinker of a story? I can't believe this is the best they could do. Rent it before you buy it. You'll save yourself some dough.

Summary: It was almost there!
Review: I loved the first one and adore Reece Witherspoon's acting however by then end of this one I was gettin the 'is it over yet?' symptoms. The movie had the base to be a great movie- it was just lacking something. Either the actors were trying too hard to get it to be as good as the first OR it carried on too long and I got bored with it :( It was funny though! I love animals so I was able to stick with it- my boyfriend fell asleep though.

Summary: Blonde Again And Loving It
Review: "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde" is the hilarious sequel to "Legally Blonde". It adds some details that the original left out. It offers new features, keeping the trilogy interesting. The plot was written wonderfully, keeping the humor and the important life messages together. Its humor keeps the audience awaiting the next event and the outcome of every event. Elle Wood's fight to prevent animal cruelty in Washington D.C. offers many interesting twists and turns. They only intense more as the movie continues. Reese Witherspoon's role as Ms. Woods lives up to the original. All other actors offer their own humor and unforgettable quotes: Alana Ubach, Jennifer Coolidge, Luke Wilson, and legendary actors Bob Newhart and Sally Field. The costume designs are amazing. They offer a further unforgettable experience, especially the ones revolving around Ms. Woods. Such movie quality makes "Legally Blonde 2" worth watching more than once. This will keep its audiences entertained. Those interested in watching this movie must watch the original first. Otherwise, the plot will be confusing.

Summary: WHAT HAPPENED?!
Review: I thought the first Legally Blonde movie was wonderful, so I assumed this one would be good, too! But no, instead, this one proved why I HATE sequels! Reese Witherspoon is an amazing, talented actress, but even she couldn't save this movie. However, she is the reason why this movie gets two stars. I noticed that this movie used some of the same/similar jokes as the original movie did, which made the "humor" boring. Also, the whole plot focused on the dog. Don't get me wrong, I thought the dog was really cute and all, but did the whole movie have to revolve around him? Hopefully if there's a third Legally Blonde movie, it will be wayyyyyy beter!

Summary: Should be Illegally Blonde
Review: As a huge fan of Legally Blonde I was so excited for the sequel. However, the attempt to revive vivacious Elle Woods highly disappointed me. Reese Witherspoon is an extremely talented actress and played her role well, but not even Reese's infectious Elle could hold up the plot. Her performance is the reasoning behing my two-star rating--without her it would have been a one! The script lacked the humour so evident in the first LB installment and quite frankly I don't remember laughing once. I found this movie so disappointing because I know it could have been so much better. Buy the first one instead!

Summary: Basically copy of 1st flick, but still fun
Review: If you caught the first flick, you'll find little different in its sequel, but "Legall Blonde 2" is still a bag of preposterous fun. Planning for her wedding to law professor Emmet Richmond (Luke Wilson), Elle Woods becomes determined to (Witherspoon) track down the biological parent of her Chihuahua, Bruiser. Elated to find the dog belongs to Versace, Elle is shocked to find that the animal (and countless others) is subjected to testing by cosmetics makers. Losing her job at a tony law firm when she tries to make an issue of animal testing, Elle heads for Washington where she hopes to change the law. Linking up with an apparently successful and sympathetic congresswoman played by Sally Field, and learning the ways of Washington D.C.-style politics, LB2 essentially follows the pattern of the first movie - replacing law with cut-throat politics (initially hostile characters prove to be friends while friendly characters turn out to have their own agenda; Elle wins out over all using her mix of wackiness and wisdom). The flick makes good use of some side characters, like Bruce McGill as a right-wing conservative who, luckily for Elle, is a proud dog owner (McGill may best be remembered as the mysterious "D-Day" from "Animal House"; it's fun watching this flick thinking that his character may very well be the same as D-Day, only 40 years later); also Bob Newhart as a D.C. doorman who knows a thing or two about DC power politics (where was his character during Watergate?); but really belongs to a horde of extras mobilized by Elle to lead the fight on Capitol Hill. The moral of the story - never look down on the apparent savviness of your opponent who, though unsophisticated, is motivated by a cause they find noble. At least not in Hollywood.

Summary: Curse of the sequel
Review: The sequel at its worst. The script was beyond insipid, with only rare glimpses of the wit that made the original so enjoyable. The storyline was such an insult to the intellegence that we actually found ourselves angered by it. What an incredible waste of a talented cast.

Summary: Painfully stupid!
Review: Being a fan of the first 'Legally Blonde' I was excited to see 'Legally Blond 2 Red, White & Blonde'. Oh, my...the movie actually hurt me! It was painfully stupid...not cute and quirky as the first one. I have to say, I didn't watch the entire movie, I had to give up on it when Elle's pretty little puppy's real sexually came out. The movie was already overboard when Elle went looking for Bruiser's 'real mom,' but it went WAY too far when Bruiser 'came out'! This should teach Hollywood a lesson...you can't build an entire story around an orphaned, gay dog! Give us credit for a little sense, PLEASE! This movie is an insult! I really don't know HOW they got such talented actors and Reese Witherspoon and Luke Wilson to go along with this...I hear Luke was luckier than Reese as he's only in the thing once or twice! If you want a good, sick feeling, spend your hard earned money on this movie! Its so bad it makes me sick at the first one that I actually liked!
