Rating: Summary: great fun! Review: I saw a sneak preview of this and (as fans have already guessed) it is just as -- if not more than --- charming and fun as the first. Elle is getting married to Emmett, and decides she should find her dog Bruiser's mother and invite her. She discovers to her horror that Bruiser's mother is a test subject at a research lab for cosmetics. Elle is fired from her job when she stands up for her beliefs that this is wrong (the firm represented the cosmetics company). Impassioned, she puts her wedding on hold and calls on her Delta Nu sisters to help her move to DC, get a job for her congresswoman (Sally Field) and get "Bruiser's Bill" passed through Congress. Aided by Sid, the kindly doorman at the Wellington (which looks a lot like the Watergate), Elle gets the lowdown on who is who and what is what in DC. Sid has seen a lot through the years, opening doors and walking dogs for the residents, and is ready to help Elle. Teaming up with old friends and working with (or around) her stiff, unfriendly colleagues on Capitol Hill, Elle learns the nasty doings of politicking but decides she is going to rise above it and still accomplish what she set out to do. This is hilarious comedy. One noticeable standout is Mary Lynn Rajskub as Reena, Elle's mousy co-worker. She has comedic flair. Old favorites like Jennifer Coolidge as Paulette the hairstylist are also back. The sweeping shots of DC are incredible and inspiring. And Elle's hair and clothes rock (but you knew that!)

Rating: Summary: The Blonde is Back! Review: I had my reservations about seeing the first film of Legally Blonde but my worries were soon oblivious as it was clear that the movie was (as cheesy as it sounds) fun. From a simple concept of blondes being the stupid bimbo's of the earth, we follow the stereotypical social blonde 'poster girl' Elle Woods through her melodramas of becoming a law student after being dumped by her boyfriend. Elle Woods gets the drive to join Harvard and start vying to graduate as a fully fledged Law student just to spite her ex-boyfriend. The layed back atmosphere the movie creates can hopefully be duplicated in Legally Blonde 2. The ditzy, 'Clueless' style of comedy is one of the warmer aspects the film plays out so well. Some comedies rely on plot others rely on performance, I believe that Legally Blonde had a nice equilibrium between the two and is a reason why it has cult Teen following with other such great teen movies. Reese Witherspoon, the main star, was a perfect choice for the protagonist of Elle Woods. Reese Witherspoon definately hits the role on the head as she has great comedic timing and is not afraid to make a fool of herself. Her endearing antics and irreplacable facial expressions really gives Elle Woods an aura of her own. But what can we expect of a Legally Blonde sequel?! Having a sequel is usually a big gamble or just an easy cash-in. All we can know so far is the general storyline. Reese Witherspoon is back as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde. Now Elle is juggling a demanding career as a rising young lawyer as well as preparations for her wedding to the man of her dreams. But when she stands up for the other guy of her life - Bruiser, her chihuahua - Elle is fired from her job. She's devastated but you can't keep an optimist down. Ms Woods goes to Washington into her own well-manicured hands. Trying to learn the political ropes and win over self-serving politicians. Elle faces a formidable challenge. But with her clever and sassy signature blend of determination and intelligence, she bucks the system the Elle Woods way, inspiring those around her to find a voice of her own. We will only find out on July 2nd whether Legally Blonde 2 can live up to the original film and hopefully surpass it.
Rating: Summary: Holy... Review: I saw this movie in the theater and I thought it was horrible. I didn't laugh once and this movie just bored me to death. It wasnt entertaining, funny, nor did it hold my attention. Then I had the misfortune of having to watch it again on a roadtrip (my car has a DVD player in it) and I just could not take it. THIS MOVIE SUCKS SO BAD! Stay away at all costs!
Rating: 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: Summary: egally Blonde 2 - Red, White & Blonde (Special Edition) Review: egally Blonde 2 - Red, White & Blonde (Special Edition) DVD ~ Reese Witherspoon is just as good and ditzy as the original. Many people said that it paints a bad picture for women. I could disagree more. This is how men want women to act.
Rating: Summary: Hilarious and Perky! Review: Reese Witherspoon is back in this great film. This movie is exciting and funny, while giving the picture that women can do anything!!! A Must-See!
Rating: Summary: Legally stupid Review: Lackluster follow up to Legally Blonde finds our hero trying to save Buster's (Her dog) Family from being experimented on. So she goes to the capital to fight the good fight for tasted and class, and to change the system as well. It lacks the charm and feistiness of the original, and basically retreads the original plot of the first film in every scene. It's a decent rental thanks to Reese Witherspoon but it needed more to hold its own with the original.
Rating: Summary: Neh. Review: Usually I don't expect sequels to overpower the originals. I was especially right with Legally Blonde 2. The first one was a lot funnier and had a better plot. Even the DVD extras were weak. Jesus. the Gag Reels weren't funny at all. Sorry excuse for a sequel. I think they should have did something more to develop the new characters and at least put Luke Wilson in more scenes.
Rating: Summary: "Red White and Blonde." Review: Reese Witherspoon is pack as Elle Woods, with Emmit and of course her little dog too. This movie is not very good and is no where near as good as the first. Elle is there to stop animal testing and reunite her dog with his mother. Elle goes to Washington and is pretty in pink. Its not a good idea, they could have done something MUCH better. I love Reese Witherspoon and was looking forward to this movie coming out but when I saw it I was VERY dissapointed.
