 | I thought this movie was so funny. I loved this movie! It's so blonde and pink! I think I might like the first one a little better because it's so funny and pink and blonde that you just know your sense in fashion right when you see it! I truely don't want any of your opinions if you disagree with me. So please don't say you opinion if if it's a disagreement! I don't care for your opinion! |

| I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, because I LOVE the first one, and couldn't wait, so my I went to see it at my local movie theatre. Man, was I disappointed with what I saw! This sequel bored me, and I didn't find it all that funny. Elle seemed to go back to being a bimbo again, imo. I was totally turned off, and will not be purchasing this dvd. |

| This movie is definetley good for a nomination but not a win I hope they did nominate it because it definetley deserves it. I thought after hearing good things and not so good things about this movie that I would not like it but it was good. I thought the funniest part was when Paulette said you look like a fourth of July it makes me want to have a hotdog real bad. Anyway this is a good movie if you want to laugh a few times. I don't know why they rated it PG-13 I thought it should of been PG instead.

| Reese Witherspoon is quietly assembling a body of work that proves her talents as a comic actress. While the magnificent "Election" may ultimately prove to be the best performance of her career, her work in "Legally Blonde" made that silly movie into a surprising hit. "Legally Blonde 2" does not rise to the same level of the first movie, but to the extent it succeeds, it does so on the sheer radiance and comic timing of our favorite sorority sister-turned Harvard law grad.
"LB2" starts with Ms. Elle Woods running around as the star associate of a major law firm . . . which is as much to do with her legal skills as it is with Elle's devotion to brownies, sincere compliments, and overall bubbliness. But her conscience gets the better of her when she learns that one of the firm's major clients tests cosmetics on animals, including her pet dog's mommy. Of course, her conscience gets her fired and she's like, you know, totally bummed.
But this being Elle Woods, she cannot fail to land on her feet, and soon she's off to D.C. to be an aide for Senator Sally Field so she can work on a bill to outlaw cosmetic testing, or something. "LB2" is one of those movies where you don't need to bother with the characters' names -- the supporting roles are broad, cliched characters but are generally fun because the actors are caught up in the sheer silliness of it all. Bob Newhart, Regina King, Stifler's Mom, and many other supporting characters get on screen, make you smile, and move on.
While perhaps not as inspired as the first movie, "LB2" has a few definite high points, such as when Elle Woods activates the super-secret sorority-crisis code, causing thousands of earnest sisters to descend on the Mall in D.C. in support of Ms. Woods (although undoubtedly upset that the Mall doesn't even have a Starbucks.) Through it all, Elle keeps her chin up and her eyes wide open, and her combination of zeal, sincerity, insight, and naivete -- not to mention beauty -- will surely win you over.
A good rental, or a good pick-up from the $5.99 overstock shelves, "Legally Blonde 2" is an inoffensive, silly comedy that can give you a couple of laughs on a rainy day. The DVD extras are so-so, which is appropriate for this movie. |

| After watching Legally Blonde over a million times on DVD, it was finally time that the sequel, "Red, White, and Blonde", was released. Popping it in to my computer, I was very dissappointed.
Firstly, which I'm suprised hasn't been a complaint at all, is the quality of the DVD. A lot of times there are black spots, that are very irritating, and moving objects seem very dull. I watched another DVD from another company, and the quality of that was excellent. I could have got a bad apple, but with watching this on a flat screen, this is very distrubing.
Okay, so here is the plot. Elle (Resse Witherspoon) is ready to get married to Emmitt (Luke Wilson). She has made reservations to get married right under the green monster! As she is trying to bundle up guests to come, she notices that she didn't give Bruiser's (Moondoggie) mom an invatation. She hires a detective to search for Bruiser's mom, happening to find out that she lives at the V.E.R.S.A.C.E. clothing facility. Come to find out, it's not a clothing facility at all. It's instead a cosmetic testing facility, and Bruiser's mom is trapped and Elle is not able to release her. So, Elle tries to convince her team of lawyers at work to follow the case. They don't, and they fire her. Now, Elle Woods must go to Congress, and work with her unfriendly co-workers Grace (Regina King), Reena (Mary Lynn Rajskub), and Timothy (J. Barton) to pass Brusier's Bill to make cosmetic testing illegal.
The movie is not as good as the original, as most sequals, and this one isn't a total bomb, but it's not quite on target. There were a lot of sexual/gay jokes in the movie that wee more hateful than funny. Also, the movie is pretty predictable. It's easy to tell what will happen in the next 15 minutes of the movie.
Secondly, the movie doesn't make since. If you've seen the first "Legally Blonde", Elle graduates in 2004. There was a caption that said "Emmitt will proposed to Elle tonight". How can this be possible if they are married in 2003? Also, how can she be a legalized lawyer if she is in school? This is a big glitch in the movie, that is very distrubing.
Overall, the movie is a dry sequel to the wonderful first. If you haven't seen the movie, you'll probably be better of leaving "Red, White, and Bland" for something worth your 1 hour and 30 minutes of your time. Not recommended. |
