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

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.

I already loved the film Legally Blonde when this came out but with sequels i always have my doubts... this however fufilled my expectations and was so enjoyable to watch. The story line isn't exactly deep but it's filled with heartwarming moments, gorgeous clothes and it's bound to get at least one laugh out of the soberest of people. It's fun, pink and accsesorised.

Easy and light comedy with a message of friendship and team spirit. It's good for girls to watch and also for their mums.

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

Chick Flick
A very girly film. What you see is what you get. Not as good as legally blonde 1 but still worth a watch.

legally blonde 2
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.
