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.
"...Not since Cyndi Lauper has a major pop figure projected such a blissfully happy, self-amused view toward being female..."
Witless sequel that not even Reese Witherspoon's effervescence can keep from going flat after five minutes.
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.
What a classic! How does Elle get away with her flamboyant and outragous dress sense and personality. You just gotta love her!
As for bruiser.....well finding his mum is the priority of both him and Elle, but when they find herElle is horrified at what she finds.
She embarks on a campain to stop Animal testing, she wins the support of her friends but not her Law firm, this results in her getting the sack.
Join her on this outragousjourney of justice for the deflensless animals. This is a classic comedy with a hint of romance, sadness, and utter madness.
All I can say is that if you have seen Legally Blonde 1 then YOU JUST HAVE TO WATCH THE SEQUAL!!!! It wil leave you rolling on the flore laughing. If you havn't watched the first film then may I suggest you rent them both to help you get a better understanding of who she is, what she is and why she is!!!
Thumbs up to Video Island also for their speed of turnaround, it really seems to be getting better, we returned 5 dvd's on Tuesday and got 5 more on Thursday - quicker than I could walk to the video store!!
It's hard not to like everything that Reese Witherspoon stars in. She is pretty reliable. This film was hammered by the critics because it wasn't a patch on the first film. Well thats true. The premise lacks any sort of believability and the story is predictable.
But this is supposed to be light comedy. It is funny in parts and you leave the film with a feeling that you where glad to spend time in the company of the characters. It is Reese Witherspoon that just makes this film worth watching. Its a happy snappy film. So watch it and enjoy. Its not as bad as some would have you believe. In fact its really rather ok.
Unfunny, poorly written, over sentimental and no engaging characters whatsoever. I turned it off about half way through as i couldnt bare to watch it. No patch on the first movie.
The first Legally Blonde had me in stitches; I loved it, but not so with this sequel. Totally unbelievable, (I know the first one was hardly believable) but this one was a lame copy. If you liked the first one, see it just to complete the set otherwise, give it a miss.

I enjoyed the first film, but having read some of the other reviews I almost deleted this second film from my Queue. Im so glad I left it in place!
This is definitely not one for the guys theres no complicated plot and no surprises along the way, but sisters, if you want something to help you celebrate being a girl, this is it.
Send the guys off to watch football and enjoy.
A lot of laughs in this film so unbelievable stupid but a watchable chick flick
No where near as good as the first movie, if you thought that was far fetched then youll find the story line on this almost as weak as the acting itself.
If you have seen Legally Blonde 1 then this is more of the same. It is far less original as most sequels are. Its full of the usual Hollywood clichés. It does have a couple of funny moments. All in all an average movie and you will be disappointed if you want to watch something good.
You may just like this one.
Even the best Legally Blonde 1 fans in our family gave this 2 stars, and everyone else gave it less (well 2 stars less!). Basically more of the same of the first movie, but without much new to make it interesting. That about sums it up.
I don't know why I rented this one, as generally I don't rate sequels. But I must be honest, this was a very pleasant surprise - a sequel that is actually worth watching. The story line is different but works and the characters have managed to retain all the appeal from the original movie. I'd definitely recommend this film

"...Witherspoon's disarming enthusiasm and terminal perkiness make the comedy succeed..."
"...[Witherspoon is] still a marvel of sweetly sparky enthusiasm..."
