Amazon.co.uk Review
The winning comic finesse of Reese Witherspoon drives Legally Blonde 2. It's astonishing that the sequel could possibly be daffier than the first movie, but Legally Blonde 2 leaves reality behind like an unflattering outfit. Unemployed lawyer Elle Woods (Witherspoon) sets off to the US capitol to ban cosmetics testing on animals, after discovering that her beloved Chihuahua's own mother is being used as a test subject. Washington DC becomes a testing ground for Elle's mettle, as she grapples with callous committees, backstabbing representatives and devious aides to get her bill considered by Congress, with some help from her sorority sisters and her hairdresser friend Paulette (Jennifer Coolidge). Witherspoon bursts with charisma and dazzles with sheer performing skill; she's the comic heir to screwball comedienne Carole Lombard--which is high praise. The film also features Bob Newhart and Sally Field. --Bret Fetzer

Format:DVD
In Legally Blonde 2, Reese Witherspoon returns as the dizzy, but highly intelligent lawyer, Elle Woods. Busy planning her forthcoming wedding, Elle decides she wants her dogs' long lost mother to attend the happy event. Unfortunately the private detective, hired to find Bruiser's mother, discovers she is in an animal testing laboratory and they won't release her. Elle decides to take up the fight against animal testing and launches herself on an unsuspecting Washington senate.
Like all too many sequels, Legally Blonde 2 does not live up to its predecessor. The story is just an extension of the original move, nobody takes Elle seriously as she's blonde, dressed in pink, looks like Barbie, but she proves them all wrong etc. etc. The story line tries to push the moral issue of using animals in experiments. Unfortunately, the message is lost in all the froth that surrounds it.
This isn't the worst film you could watch, it's certainly ok for one of those nights when you don't want to have to concentrate too much and just want some simple entertainment. Just don't expect to be rolling on the floor laughing and be prepared to suspend all thoughts of reality with the totally unbelievable storyline. There are a fair number of extras on the DVD for those who like to explore more but, like the film, they are somewhat lightweight.

The first one was absolutely brilliant! It had everything it needed: comedy, sadness... It's such a shame the sequel couldn't match up. I think they had some good ideas, what with the protest against animal testing, but they didn't manage to carry it out very well. The acting wasn't too brilliant either. Not really worth watching, to be honest.

Format:VHS Tape
...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.

Absolutely loved this film! Filled with just as many laughs as the first one! Maybe a bit more silly humour, but still an equally funny film. Read more

Not as good as the original but still a good chick flick with a candy floss feeling to it. Still made me laugh and smile so well worth a watch.

not as good as the first
Having seen the first Legally Blonde and loved it,I felt the script-writers tried hard for this one but the theme was weak.Teenagers might not care though.
