J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Like the first movie, this has some cute gags but collapses like a soggy paper plate, never deciding whether to mock or celebrate the heroine’s shallow materialism. Jul 2, 2022 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek This time, Elle's improbable triumphs really are implausible--and way unfunny...as adroit and charming as Witherspoon is--and she gives it her all--she cannot rise above the embarrassingly broad, witless material. Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Unfortunately, the sequel is a pale-pastel imitation of the original. Director Charles Herman-Wurmfeld struggles to regain the kooky magic of the original, as the fish-out-of-water scenario wears thin. Rated: 2/5 Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Reese Witherspoon snaps, crackles and shops when she should as the happy-go-lucky fashion victim Elle, but no amount of weapons-grade pep can get this second-hand outfit off the rack. Rated: 2/5 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens It's fluffy. It's fun. It's pink. It's got cute shoes, cute clothes, a cute star and a very very cute dog. Arf!

r96 s 'Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde' is almost watchable, but I'd say I was more bored than locked onto what I was watching across the 90 minutes. It feels like a partial retread of the first film, it does its own thing but this one hits very similar beats; gets a touch tedious. The cast is possibly an upgrade, though the characters that appear aren't quite as interesting. Reese Witherspoon remains a competent lead, while Sally Field is decent in a welcomed off-type role. Not that Field's Victoria is all that positive; the exact same can be said for Regina King's Grace. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review alan g Unfortunately like most sequels it pales in comparison to the first. Stale jokes weak pc script wooden acting. Reese tries hard but it let down. Pass. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review lyla s never as good as the first one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Jerry R Although done many years ago (2003), this movie hits home in 2024. I thought this 2nd Elle Woods film was excellent, with Reese Witherspoon giving another Great Performance. Hopefully there will be a 3rd. Elle Woods installment. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Christian K Basically nothing here except for a couple chuckle moments, the story here is an outright disaster. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Aarontube gaming 2 This movie is great , I like how they continued on from the first Legally Blonde . They stayed original , the writer wrote the perfect sequel unlike many movies that make sequels this one was actually enjoyable . I don't understand the bad rating of this movie but it's really underrated; maybe they are part of the cosmetic companies testing on animals haha . But I think this movie is perfect make sure to watch the first one though . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
