Taking home a paycheck that nearly rivals the budget of the first film, Reese Witherspoon reprises the role of Elle Woods in this sequel to 2001's surprise blockbuster Legally Blonde. When she's fired... read more read more... from her job at an upscale law firm for voicing her stance against the testing of cosmetics on animals, Elle heads to Capitol Hill to fight for her cause before Congress, leaving her boyfriend, Emmett (Luke Wilson, reprising his role from the film's predecessor), behind. Once there, she runs into plenty of adversity and red-tape and can't seem to find anyone who will listen to her proposals. While staying at the Watergate hotel though, she meets and befriends an elderly bellman (Bob Newhart in his first theatrical role since 1997's In & Out) who's been around politicians long enough to know the ins and outs of the political machine. With his help, Elle attempts to convince disillusioned U.S. Representative Rudd (Sally Field) to help her get her voice heard in front of the stodgy old coots of the legislative branch. Directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld hot off the success of his critically acclaimed indie comedy Kissing Jessica Stein, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde boasts a supporting cast led by Jennifer Coolidge (Best in Show, American Pie) and Regina King (Jerry Maguire, Daddy Day Care). ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

    I have left my original rating of 3 stars intact. It doesn't really deserve it, as sequels go, it is pretty horrible. I think really it's a 2, but I am leaving the extra star for Reese - she is really good as this character, even though at times in this one, she comes across l... read moreike a moron.
    There is also some questionable bits in here, such as the revelation that Bruiser is gay. The "as long as he's happy" bit seemed forced and like this movie was trying too hard. Other bits are just plain awful (cheerleading dog song scene anyone?). Paulette is less likeable her than in the first one, actually kind of irritating, as are Elle's girlfriends. Don't know, pretty much inferior in every way and a silly plot, but just can't hate it too much.

    Not as good as the first film but still really funny and Reese Witherspoon is perfect as Elle. A must see!
  • June 8, 2011
    Okay so maybe Just Like Heaven isn't my guilty pleasure as much as this one is. Like I actually paid for this in the theater, watched it three more times on television, own the DVD, think about it from time to time. Oh my god it's soooo bad but in a really fun way. More fun than ... read morethe first one, I think.

    Witherspoon still has it... apart from that, the rest of the movie (mmmh) not so much.
  • July 29, 2009
    Although not as good as the first one its still a funfil movie and witherspoon doesnt loose the fun character that you fall in love with form the first one!
    A fun cute movie that is entertaining and light hearted to watch!
    Worth a awatch

    Very good. Witherspoon doing great as usual. A great feel-good movie. But not as good as the first one.
  • September 14, 2008
    This movie was still pretty good for a sequel. Definetly pick up this sequel to rent. Reese Witherspoon is a great and hilarious actress!
  • August 3, 2008
    Actually, I think the idea for making the sequel for the first movie is ridiculous... But what I see after watching this movie is it's not that ridiculous... Even it's a little weird but I think the story just okay, just a little question with the addition for the title, Red Whit... read moree & Blonde, just a weird addition... Reese Witherspoon still looks good as a 'town barbie' from a law school, but this time she made it to the Washington... From the ending, I didn't hope for another sequel of this movie, especially after Reese got an Oscar...

    This is in many ways a terrible, terrible movie; it's so bad that in the scene where the protesters are marching for animal rights, you can actually see Luke Wilson rolling his eyes while he chants along.

    But I can't hate it. Elle Woods is just too lovable of a character, ver... read morey well developed by Reese Witherspoon and fun to watch. The movie is deliberately and clumsily zany when desperately reaching for laughs, but is actually really funny in its more muted gags, particularly the lampooning of congressmen and women.

    It's cheesy, sure, but it's great fun to get behind an idealist; throw in great performances from legends Sally Field and Bob Newhart, and you've got a great hangover buster.

    The blonde bombshell is back. Good sequel. Good cast.

May be the worst film I have ever seen with an actress I have previously adored: in this case, Reese Witherspoon. Full Review

[Witherspoon's] so charming. Full Review

A cinematic abomination. Full Review

Mark Wolf, Denver Rocky Mountain News

Witherspoon's indefatigable charm and energy is the only reason this film doesn't disappear like cotton candy in a drizzle.

Peter Travers

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

There's not enough here to sustain a half-hour sitcom, but Reese Witherspoon shoulders the burden with star shine to spare.

Teresa Wiltz

Teresa Wiltz, Washington Post

Flops where it should zing, trotting out cringe-worthy cliches and hoary plot contrivances.

Claudia Puig

Claudia Puig, USA Today

The first one was silly fun, amusing and oddly inventive; the second is plodding, unfunny and almost cringe-worthy. Full Review

Daphne Gordon

Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star

While straight, male audiences probably won't find this movie interesting or funny, for women it could be an important, inspiring and empowering pop cultural experience. Full Review

Legally Blonde was content to tickle you. The new one is something akin to a band that has a surprisingly successful debut deciding to rerecord all their originals and release a 'Greatest Hits' collec... Full Review
