The only thing i have to say is that if you didn't like this movie, you must be a brunette!! It's absolutely hilarious! It definately is as good as the first! A must see!!

The strong message is what made this sequel work so well for me. I will admit that its energy feels a little weaker than the first, but that still doesn't mean it's not funny, touching, and highly enjoyable. As an animal lover, I couldn't help but be affected by it. The scene where we witness Bruiser's mom in the lab really got to me. It was depressing and heartbreaking to watch. The fact that I strongly believe in and support the cause our heroine, Elle (Witherspoon), is fighting for, made this movie that much more enjoyable for me. Real animal lovers should easily be able to relate and root for Elle. This movie is just so positive and inspiring. There's so many things I feel so strongly about, and Legally Blonde 2 made me want to get up and try to make a difference. If this movie could reach at least one person in each audience the way it reached me, then it did its job and will have been a success. If only more movies had good messages like this one.

I'm not saying everyone is going to feel the same way or be able to relate as well as I could, but hopefully it will be able to inspire quite a few. I'd actually recommend letting some younger kids see it. Maybe, just maybe, it can help make a difference. With such an honest main character who's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, I certainly see it doing more good than harm. Yes, it's basically a fluff movie, but it also goes a little deeper than that. The more serious tone in some scenes worked well for me, and I found them quite effective for this kind of movie.

I remember a lot of people saying that the highlight of the first movie was Elle's Harvard video. However, while I thought it was funny and pretty amusing, I didn't love it as much as most seemed to. I personally thought the slides showed at the office for Bruiser in this sequel were much funnier, not to mention cuter.

Reese Witherspoon delivered another fun performance as Elle. This actress never fails to amuse me. She carried the first one completely on her shoulders. This time around though, the adorable dog playing Bruiser managed to steal pretty much every scene he was in. I think he should get a Best Supporting Actor nomination ;), but unfortunately, he'll likely be snubbed. The rest of the supporting players were all fine and enjoyable, especially Bob Newhart as Sidney and Jennifer Coolidge as Paulette. But none of them could compete with their four legged co-star.

This nice, friendly movie made me want to stand up and cheer. It had a good message and stood for something I believe in. I found it funny and very entertaining. It left me with a smile on my face and feeling inspired to make a difference. A solid and harmless feel-good movie.

Grade: 8/10 (B+)

I LOVED the first Legally Blonde movie. While it wasn't realistic, it was fun and a real joy to watch. I figured the second one would be decent too, but I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I think Reese Witherspoon is fantastic and she did a great job - I just thought the storyline was a little overboard. Personally, I wish the story had focused less on the dog, because while seeing the dog dressed up in pink is funny, it gets old when they try to plot the entire movie around it! Even so, the movie had some really funny parts (though I wish there had been more Luke Wilson!) and was worth seeing at least once. :)

I really enjoy both these movies. I am very disappointed in MGM as they say the first movie has special features, yet none are available on ANY DVD that I have seen. The cover of the DVD shows special features are with the DVD, such as deleted scenes, etc., yet the original movie only has commentary with it as its "special feature". The second movie does have some of the features listed.
The two movies are very entertaining and just fun to watch.

I honestly could not believe how pitifully bad this film was. The first one was actually pretty funny; but this one was painful. To add injury to insult, the movie ends abruptly! At the end you are left wondering if they ran out of film in the camera, couldn't decide how to finish, or just felt like they had tortured the moviegoers long enough and might as well call it quits. Don't go see this one in the theater. It's not worth the [money].

Elle Woods is shocked to learn that her dog's mother is being held prisoner at an animal testing facility. Since she wants the dog to attend her upcoming wedding, she immediately sets out to get her freed and heads down to Washington DC to make Congress pass a bill to ban animal testing, thereby freeing the dog.

Having been a fan of the original, I went into this movie with high hopes. Boy, was I disappointed. The first movie presented Elle as a smart person when it was something she was interested in who had to grow and mature to reach a new goal. We could sympathize with her and root for her, especially as we saw her heart of gold come through. Here, she just appears clueless, blindly going from plot point to plot point. The movie also presents a very pessimistic view of our government. Yet Elle is still able to proceed through in an oblivious manner. The movie might have been more fun if the supporting characters from the first movie had come back, but they are basically reduced to expanded cameos. Furthermore, the movie goes overboard in its PC agenda. Basically, it's unbelievable.

The laughs are few and far between in this far inferior sequel. Do yourself a favor and stick with the original.

Oh my, oh my. Just finished watching this DVD and the first thing I have to say is I'm glad I was still in a free trial period for my DVD rentals. Even at 2.99 I would have been rather annoyed, but at the full retail movie theater prices; I would have been very upset.

This movie just never takes off and never gets you into the whole premise: animal rights.

This movie falls into the trap of so many that have tried to capitalize on the success of a first: No real plot, just get the same people doing the same thing and it should work. The movie drags on and by the end, you really just want to return the stupid movie to your local rental store.

The "bonus" material is a joke: you get the music video (who cares) and outtakes (aren't those standard on every DVD now)?

Simply put, leave this on rental shelf and grab a different movie. You'll at least have a better chance of watching something entertaining.

Unlike the first leagally blonde which I loved this one was terrible! I wouldn't even bother renting it! It has a dumb plot and you should stay away! I lost my attention in the first 30 minutes!

When watching this movie 3 things come to mind: man this plot [is bad], boy this is horribly done, and wow its extremely cheesey.

1. Man this plot [is bad]
I could have thought of a better plot, its so stupid that she wanted to invite her dog's parents to the wedding. They took her being a blond goober way too far this time.

2. This is horribly done
OK, heres a spoiler: Bruiser is gay, oh God help us all! He's in love w/a Rottweiler! Come on! At one point the Nurse told Elle and the other dog's owner that there dogs are both gay and that they had been humping all day, which is stupid to begin with. A Rottweiler humping a Chihuahua, of sweet Jesus save me. Remember the quote "I mean really, the sheer mechanics of it are mind boggling" from our British friend Austin Powers? Well the fact that Bruiser managed to survive that little shenanigan was mind boggling.

3. Wow this is extremely cheesey
The first movie wasnt as bright and cheery as this one, from the bright lighting to the seen in the salon w/the sorority sisters, the movie was just cheesey. Oh yea and the end, please.

Overall, I gave this movie 1 star bcuz Reece Witherspoon is hot and Luke Wilson, I thought it was cool that he wanted to be married in Fenway Park, and I also appreciate his awesome work in Old School.

This movie is awful! The acting is terrible, the movie is not at all funny or entertaining, and Elle seems to have gone down several IQ points between the first movie and this one!

And, get this - it turns out that Elle's dog is gay. I mean, how stupid can you get? Did they run out of jokes that are actually humorous, and they had to resort to this?

Also, the movie seems to be trying to get the animal rights message of cosmetics testing on animals being wrong across to viewers. I can understand the writer or writers wanting to do this, as I have learned about what actually happens to the animals in these tests. Few people know that tests for cosmetics, shampoos, ect. that are done on animals are not simply putting make-up on them, or washing them with shampoo. What really happens is that the product is put in restrained animals' eyes and left there for several days, or is force-fed in large quanities to the animals, to see the products' effect on the animals.

However, the movie has a line about how animal testing of make-up is wrong because forcing a dog to wear make-up is wrong, and, after Elle's anti animal testing bill is passed, the lab animals are released, unharmed. So, the movie just perpetuates the myth that animals are not seriously harmed in cosmetics testing.

This movie is one of the stupidist, most boring movies I have ever seen.

AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!
