Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (DVD)

The arrival of Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods in the comedy Legally Blonde was hailed as a bit of a revelation. A girlie film that poked fun at itself from the start, it also had an edge of a courtroom drama about it. Fast forward to the dreaded curse of the sequel, and we get this highly disappointing foray into the depths of Washington politics. Combined with a silly plot to try and reunite Elle's dog Bruiser with his mother, the political element never really gets going, and is more drab and boring than entertaining and quirky. Whereas the first film had an element of romance to make it more of a romcom, this doesn't include that part at all, and seeks to ...  Read the complete review

Well I have been looking forward to seeing this film ever since I found out there would be a sequel. However I did have mixed feelings about the idea, as some sequels are failures. The first addition of Legally Blonde was brilliant and I absolutely loved it but was my feelings of this one to be the same? I was staying overnight at a friends and we had decided we would go out the next day but we had no idea where. We had seen pretty much everything that was out to see at the pictures, we didn?t fancy ice-skating and the boys didn?t weren?t too keen on shopping. It was then that I remembered. August 1st was the release date of Legally Blonde 2. The girls were ...  Read the complete review
