Synopsis: America's favorite blonde is back! Reese Witherspoon returns as brainy bombshell Elle Woods in the sunny summer comedy Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde. Having conquered Harvard, Elle is now... America's favorite blonde is back! Reese Witherspoon returns as brainy bombshell Elle Woods in the sunny summer comedy Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde. Having conquered Harvard, Elle is now a rising young lawyer at a great firm, balancing her demanding career with preparations for her wedding to the man of her dreams. But when she finds out her beloved dog Bruiser's family members are being used as cosmetic test subjects by one of her firm's own clients, she stands up for their rights - and is promptly fired. She's devastated, but you can't keep an optimist down. Ms. Woods goes to Washington to take matters into her own French-manicured hands. Trying to learn the political ropes and win over politicians, Elle faces a formidable challenge - and in a sea of grey, black, and navy, she sticks out like a pink thumb. Others on The Hill aren't immediately kind to "Capitol Barbie" and D.C. isn't an easy place for a person with impeccable fashion sense and a Harvard Law degree. But with her clever and sassy signature blend of intelligence and determination, she bucks the system the Elle Woods way. Speaking up for Bruiser and his family and rallying blondes across the country, Elle eventually inspires those around her to find voices of their own. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures presents Reese Witherspoon in a Marc Platt Production of Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, in association with Type A Films. Directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, the film also stars Sally Field, Regina King, Jennifer Coolidge, Bruce McGill, Bob Newhart, and Luke Wilson. Produced by Marc Platt and David Nicksay with Witherspoon as executive producer, the screenplay was written by Kate Kondell from a story by Eve Ahlert & Dennis Drake and Kondell, based on the characters created by Amanda Brown. The production team includes director of photography Elliot Davis, production designer Missy Stewart, editing by Peter Teschner, costumes designed by Sophie de Rakoff Carbonell, and music by Rolfe Kent.

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

    There is exactly one joke in this movie: Reese Witherspoon wears a lot of pink.

    Red, White and Blonde is a witty supplement to Elle Woods’ campaign to promote blonde politics, this time more cartoonishly confident, more flamboyant and more self-aware of its own stupidity

    A dull, lacklustre, obnoxiously stupid sequel.

    I've got a joke for you. How many blondes does it take to make a sequel? I'll let you write your own punchline because no matter what you come up with it's likely to be funnier than Legally Blonde 2.

    By upping the goofiness factor and wedging in a ‘meaningful’ message ham-handedly, the filmmakers have neither made a really funny movie, nor one that delivers a message well.

    Witherspoon is just as good as ever, but Kate Kondell's script keeps letting the actress down.

    The screenplay ... is more a bunch of bromides, pronouncements and touchy-feely Dr. Phil-Oprah cliches randomly tossed together on sheets of paper.

    It's said that Ms. Witherspoon was paid $15 million for this. And I think she needs to cut in those of us who slogged our way through this rehash of Legally Blonde because we had to.
