In Legally Blonde 2, our blonde heroine, Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), packs her pink dresses and takes her perky attitude to Washington, D.C. to try to get congress to pass a bill prohibiting animal testing. On the surface, a very courageous act indeed. Until you realize that she is doing this because the mother of her pet Chihuahua, Bruiser, cannot attend Elle's wedding because she is being used by a cosmetic company for testing.
A comical premise to some, a ridiculous situation to others, Legally Blonde 2 must be taken with a grain of salt. It does a good job of not taking itself too seriously - there are homosexual dogs for Pete's sake! But it is not a movie for everyone. A heterosexual male who likes hockey, fast cars and fast women may not be a fan of the movie. I, myself, enjoy hockey. Don't like fast cars. The only fast women I know are the ones who dump my sorry ass very fast.
I thought the movie was okay. Pretty much a replay of the first movie with a bit more blonde in it and the usual happy ending. I laughed a few times. Really liked the idea of Elle and her fiancé Emmett (Luke Wilson - is this guy in every movie? - Legally Blonde, Charlie's Angels, Alex and Emma!) getting married at home base in Fenway Park in Boston - a true dream for any sports fan indeed. Thought too many parts of it were utterly ridiculous (inviting your dog's mother to the wedding?!?). I also could have lived without all the lawyers and politicians - too much law and politics can ruin any fun night.
It is pretty much a movie for teeny-boppers or really big fans of Reese Witherspoon or Bob Newhart. Witherspoon's strong screen presence makes this movie somewhat palatable but I must warn you - proceed with caution.
