Summary: Silly sweet entertainment
Review: This is a silly sweet film which can provide some pure non-thinking entertainment but only if you leave your logic aside for a while. I guess Silly is the right word in this regard as this is a light, bubbly kind of word which implies stupid but no harm done.
Reese Witherspoon is really sweet to watch, especially when she wears her pinkish outfits to Capitol Hill. I can't say much about the plot...all is so far-fetched that treating it seriously will only damage the pleasure. Cosmetics industry...dogs as lab animals...Elle Woods changing the Washington attitude (its not that this is not necessary) and everything working out in the end with a lot of kindness and smiles... and pink! I forgot. Sally Fields is really becoming as the villain.

Summary: Gag!
Review: This movie is definately not as good as the first one. The plot wasn't very believeable and that whole thing with the dog was just messed up. What I also don't like about this one is that they made Paulette really ditsy and that's not her character, or at least I thought it wasn't from what I got from the first one.

Summary: Review For Legally Blonde 2
Review: Legally Blonde 2 is too fast, too furiously pack with "Oh my god, I can't believe she just said that!" (and I laughed)-type lines to do anything but sit sack and enjoy it. Legally Blonde 2 takes it too easy, plays it too safe, is too preoccupied with the personal over the polictical and with being liked over being fair, right and good. Legally Blonde 2 moves at such a brisk, easy clip that there isn't much time to linger over its flaws. exp. When Elle calls the Delta Nus and she says "This is not a fire drill. I repeat, this is not a drill." Witherspoon is terrific, though some gag bubbles refuse to float. Legally Blonde 2 is a movie for people who somehow managed to miss the point of the first picture, however, I recommend seeing this movie.

Summary: As dumb as a blonde
Review: The first movie was fun and entertaining, but it has to said the second one did not quite meet the quality of the first. The first movie had a nice kick to it because it was classic and it was about things working out for a girl no one took siriously. But the second one tried but faild to follow out on that vibe and had no hook to it.
what the three stars where and for:
1 for being funny
2 because Reese is a very good actress
3 because it think it was a very cute movie with a very cute dog!the two stars that are missing... why:
1 quality
2 a good hook in the story line I know many of you may disagree, but that is ok.
P.S. the blonde joke was not ment to offend anyone... Im blonde!!! lol!!!

Summary: Ms. Wood should not have gone to Washington
Review: I have always enjoyed a good movie about American politics, ever since I first say "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." This was in former days, when there were only three television networks and PBS, videotape machines were not commercially available, and across the street from most college campuses there were "art theaters" that screened a different old movie every night. The genre has certainly fallen on hard times, as evidenced by "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde," which is uses the basic idea of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and gives it a complete makeover. The appeal of the original "Legally Blonde" was that Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) might be the paragon of blonde ditziness, but she could handle the complexities of the law as well as the intricacies of the world of beauty and cosmetics once she put here mind to it, which would happen in the name of a good cause. The idea of this 2003 sequel to the 2001 original is to do the same thing, except this time send Elle to Washington, D.C., where she takes on the U.S. House of Representatives. What inspires this career change? Well, Elle is getting ready to marry Emmett (Luke Wilson), but discovers that she has not invited the parents of Buster, her adorable Chihuahua, so she hired a private detective to track them down and learns that Buster's mother is being held captive in an animal testing lab for (gasp) cosmetics, so Elle becomes an animals rights advocate because she cannot get married until she reunites mother and son. Now, there is nothing inherently wrong with any of this, but when we get to Washington, D.C. we discover Congress consists of buffoons and simpletons. Consequently, the fatal flaw of "Legally Blonde" is that whereas the first time around Elle rose to the occasion, showing how much damage absolute knowledge of beauty secrets can do in a court of law, this time the bar is lowered substantially so that our heroine can hop over it without much trouble. Meanwhile, all the other reindeer, um, I mean Congressional aides, do not want to let Elle play in any of their Congressional games, and even ridicule her Snapcup. In the end Elle overcomes everyone and everything, to no one's surprise. The pivotal moment is when Elle gets to address Congress and give a speech. Never mind that the situation is contrived, so forget about quoting Congressional rules on what is and what is not allowed with regards to outsides being allowed to speak to Congress. All you have to do is compare Elle's speech to the one Jimmy Stewart gives at the end of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," to see how shallow this film ends up being. Witherspoon's performance aside, there is absolutely nothing in the actual speech that should inspire anybody in Congress to do anything. If you put on one of the foreign language tracks for the scene (in a language you do not understand), then the scene would work just as well. In other words, we get to the big moment in the movie, and there is nothing there besides Reese Witherspoon's face and smile. For fans of Elle, none of this is going to matter, and when she prattles on a warp speed about the beauty, fashions, cosmetics, and such you have to admit she is totally in her element. But "Red, White & Blonde" was going to succeed on the strength of its political elements, and in that regard I have to admit I liked Eddie Murphy's "The Distinguished Gentleman" a lot better.

Summary: Horrible, Stupid Movie
Review: I couldn't even finish this movie. Just too stupid. I couldn't imagine anyone giving this a good rating until I saw the one signed "PETA". I guess PETA members could like it but for the rest of us, don't waste your money.

Summary: THERE OUTTA BE A LAW...
Review: ...against bad sequels, and this one is bad, despite the comedic deftness of Reese Witherspoon. Not even she can save a screenplay that is this bad. It lacks the snappy dialogue and clever madcap situations that elevated the prequel into the ranks of successful screwball comedies. This sequel simply tanks, in spite of Ms. Witherspoon's ever present, personal winsomeness. Despite her, this film falls flatter than a pancake, which is a shame, since the original Legally Blonde movie had been so charmingly funny. Unfortunately, this film is quite disappointing and simply not in the same league, despite the casting of the original star and some of the original supporting cast. Not even the addition of Sally Fields and Robert Newhart elevates this drivel to a film worth watching. Moreover, if you are not a fan of Reese Witherspoon, you should deduct one star from my rating.

Summary: Amazing Film
Review: This is an absolutely terrific film, the only problem that I was able to find with it was that it doesn't properly continue on from the first film. In the first film Elle is supposed to graduate in 2004 and does, yet when they do the cheerleading routine with the interns, the interns are in the class of 2003, a year before. However in Legally Blonde 2 Elle had graduated around two years before as when she graduated Paulette was pregnant whereas now her child is at least two years old. Apart from this mis-sight though Legally Blonde 2 is a fantastic film which I will enjoy for years to come.

Summary: Average. At times, painfully embarrassing...
Review: Don't get me wrong. I LOVED Legally Blonde I. But somehow, the plethora of pink cell-phones, pink computers and pink outfits just couldn't save the sequel. Mostly, in my opinion, because of the hot-button issue: Animal Testing, was simplified and dumbed-down to a near inane one-sided message. However you may feel about animal testing, this film does not really address either side of the issue. Instead it portrays 'evil scientists who just want to make a buck' versus kind-hearted and saintly attorneys. Yeah... Right, ,-) I also felt the women in this movie were portrayed in a sexist and exploitive way. As if a /serious/ congresswomen's votes could be swayed by a cheap haircut, and compliments about lip gloss... Err... Also, Elle seems to have no trouble WEARING animal related and tested-products... But when it comes to animal testing she freaks out. Can anyone else see the hypocrisy? But mostly my objections about "Legally Blonde 2" weren't related to the 'animal testing' issue, it was mostly because the screenplay just wasn't as good. Dialog wasn't snappy, and there were two many scenes with long (and at times painfully embarrassing) speeches made by Elle which made her look ignorant and silly. I'm give this film an average grade. Some things were cute, but it's sheer banality cost it two stars.
