i was almost embarrassed to watch this film it was that bad. i alternated btwn that and wanting to punch her - no one could be that stupid and chipper after going to harvard law.
shareYou clearly missed the whole point to the movie. Elle is ditzy not stupid.
Nah, I thought it was as sweet and fun as the first one. RW was great as usual. I only wish there was as bigger a part for Luke Wilson as the first movie.
"You're human." "Barely, I'm a lawyer." Blade II
I agree.

But the whole point of the first movie was to show that she wasn't just a dumb blonde and could aspire to greater things...as demonstrated at the end.
The second movie pretty much reverts her to her original ditzy state and pretends she learned nothing from the first movie.
That's exactly what I thought too, JRLilyNeil
shareI wish Luke Wilson had a bigger role too. I wish the movie had been more about the two of them getting married and less stupid.
shareI agree
sharean awful film...
"I know! Lets remake an ok-ish film really badly! First, we'll make it seem like Elle is really smart because she is a top lawyer. But she's actually really dumb. *Shhhh... its a secret...* Then, we'll add a gay dog. Actually, lets make it a chi... chiwa... *however u spell it* so shes like paris hilton! yay!"
this makes her seem even more stupid, on top of the fact she didn't know some cosmetics were tested on animals. Also, at the beginning, young Elle was shopping at Versace or something - instead of making her seem fashion consious, she just looked like a spoilt brat.
It was excruciatingly embarrasing just watching it.. poor Witherspoon...
Actually, lets make it a chi... chiwa... *however u spell it* so shes like paris hilton! yay!
The chihuahua was used in the first film, and it wasn't to imitate Paris Hilton. Actually, Hilton said she started carrying a chihuahua to imitate Elle Woods.
on top of the fact she didn't know some cosmetics were tested on animals.
I guessed you missed the part where she said something to the effect of "You don't realise how awful something is until it happens to you personally". Knowing something occurs and witnessing it firsthand are two different things.
Also, at the beginning, young Elle was shopping at Versace or something - instead of making her seem fashion consious, she just looked like a spoilt brat.
She isn't shopping at Versace (it isn't even a Versace store). She is directed there because it is the address of Bruiser's mother. Besides, how would shopping at a high end boutique make her look like a spoiled brat, if (despite being wealthy by inheritance), she is earning her own money by working as a lawyer?
The first film was actually fairly decent - if not unorthodox. It explored lost and gained friendships and it wasn't that predictable I felt. It was generally well-written and directed with decent acting.
But with the second film they lost the plot - a gay dog? Grr!
It almost ruined the first film with the release of the second, as I had to question what reese was in the second film for - the money no doubt. Apparently she is the highest-paid actress and Legally Blonde 1 and 2 were her highest-paying films if I'm correct.
1st film - 7.5 out of 10.
2nd film - 3 out of 10.
Sweet Jesus this movie was awful...I didn't mind the first one at all. I found it kind of cute. It was one of my girlfriends favorite movies. I worked at a movie theater and got to see movies for free so I took her....We almost walked out of a free movie. Thats how bad it was.
shareThe ending was THE. ABSOLUTE. WORST. PART. I mean... who could have imagined all those nonsensical things occuring? So. damned. cheesy. Though it did make me chuckle that Elle ditched the guy that wanted to make up.
shareI was thinking the same thing in how this movie made me crine and being almost embarrassed for watching it.
I wasn't a huge fan of the first film but it was at least tolerable. This one they wanted to go with the style of the first film but they took a bunch of things over-the-top and didn't think things through. Alright, gay dogs? Do those even exist??? It's stupid for a plot element either way. Then what the FU*K was with that cheer?! That would NEVER be allowed in any government building, let alone one in Washingtown. Who were those people in the business clothes? The whole thing was just stupid and didn't make ANY sense. Even the ending speech was awful. She would have been told to get to the point 10 seconds after she mentioned her hair. The whole point of her little legislative crusade was to "speak for those that cannot speak for themselves". I didn't get that at all. That and the whole cheer thing did NOT make any sense. Oh, and that person made a good point about her not knowing that make-up is tested on animals. DUH! Everyone knows that.
They just took things way too far. It was like they were trying to make the second one "funnier than the first" but instead got carried away and seemingly wrote it in a hurry.
Oh, by the way, am I the only one who thinks her fiance is a tool? I can't see how those two could be compatible. He has no personality and she's extremely bubbly. Might as well try to mix water and oil. Plus, any guy, no matter HOW hot the chick is, would go mad being surrounded by that much pink.
Oh, yeah, one MORE thing! WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE GET ALL THAT MONEY?! I thought Elle was living on her own and not out of Mommy & Daddy's pocket anymore. How could she afford to be away from home that long, still SHOPPING even, while not even being employed while her fiance works on a professor's salary? That sorority she belongs to seems to have a bottomless bank account.
