Legally Blonde 2: Red, White And Blonde

Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) returns in all of her pink splendour in this sequel to LEGALLY BLONDE. This time, spunky lawyer Elle is in the midst of planning her wedding to law professor Emmett Richmond (Luke Wilson) when she realises that she has to locate the mother of her pet Chihuahua, Bruiser, in order to include her on the guest list. A detective locates Bruiser's mother, only to find her in an animal testing facility. Determined to put an end to the practice and to free Bruiser's mum in time for the wedding, Elle heads to Washington, D.C. to work as a legislative aid to fellow Harvard Law alum, Representative Victoria Rudd (Sally Field). Unfortunately, Capitol Hill isn't as welcoming as Elle had hoped, and she finds herself learning about the darker side of Washington politics. Undeterred, the ever-optimistic Elle enlists her friends to help in her campaign to stop animal testing. Witherspoon is delightful as the wide-eyed, good-hearted Elle. Bob Newhart stars as Elle's politically aware doorman, and Jennifer Coolidge reprises her role as Paulette, Elle's personal beauty consultant. Directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, the film also stars Regina King, Bruce McGill, and Dana Ivey.

    Reese Witherspoon returns as ditzy blonde socialite Elle Woods in this frothy but dumb sequel to the 2001 hit comedy. Having graduated from Harvard, the pink-clad cutie is now a rising young lawyer, intent on legally ending the animal experimentation that's keeping her beloved dog's mother locked up in a cosmetics lab. Fans of the original will love the rose-tinted confection that follows as our stilettoed heroine teeters off to Washington to lobby the politicians directly. Reprising her tenacious sorority girl role, Witherspoon is astonishingly authentic in the lead and it's to her credit that she pulls off such an airheaded turn with so much charm and grace. Without her, the film would be a mess — some of the scenes are toe-curlingly embarrassing, while the plotline and conclusion are beyond preposterous. Ultimately there's fun to be had, but you'll need to disengage your brain to get the most out of this sugary romp.

    Just too silly by half!

    I really enjoyed the first Legally Blonde film and was looking forward to the sequel. Within ten minutes of strating LB2 we had decided it was just too silly to watch. They took a good concept just one step too far. A pity. Don't bother with this one.

    So many faces return, from the first film, and yet Elle is the only worth-while character. That said of the new characters, it is only Sally Feild's character that stands out in the memory. (I felt sure the porter was going to be arrested for being a spy, but sadly nothing so interesting happened).

    This is a film of over familar characters, with no surprises. I watched it on a Sunday morning and it eased me into the day, but it did not have the bite of the original nor would I bother to open my eyes for a second viewing.

    Still at least everyone acted well, and the shrieking was prevented from being annoying, so it could have been worse. BUT what was that dog dance about?!
