Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The winning comic finesse of Reese Witherspoon drives Legally Blonde 2: Red White and Blonde. 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 our nation's capitol to ban cosmetics testing on animals, after discovering that her beloved chihuahua's own mother is being used as a test subject. Washington, D.C., 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, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind). Witherspoon bursts with charisma and dazzles with sheer performing skill; she's the comic heir to screwball comedienne Carole Lombard--which is high praise. Also featuring Bob Newhart and Sally Field. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description

1.0 out of 5 stars Legally speaking: AWFUL, February 14, 2004

By	D. Couse "darkman1969" (United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful!!!!!!, November 21, 2005

By	Jessica Miller - See all my reviews

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars This movie was awful., November 8, 2005

By	S. Rice (McLean, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I liked the first Legally Blonde movie but this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I was embarrassed for Reese Witherspoon for being in such a bad movie. I'm sure she was too. This movie was so not funny.
