Movie Info

Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) journeys to Washington, D.C., to have her say about animal rights, but is ignored by every politician she encounters and quickly learns that the White House can be even tougher to navigate than the Ivy League. Finally, Elle makes the acquaintance of sympathetic Rep. Victoria Rudd (Sally Field), who helps the young lawyer get her foot in the door of Congress. Unfortunately, Elle still has to convince the entire legislature to hear her out.

Audience Reviews for Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde

Nov 20, 2012

Okay, take an breath: anybody hear of satire? When you peel away the pink and five-inch heels (and maybe you have to have special movie glasses to do that), you are left with a very biting take on the political system. That the congresswoman is trading away her ideals so she can "stay in Washington" to do some good is very sly. So is Elle Wood's response "You're not doing anybody any good." It was good to see this after a particularly nasty presidential election, heading into some serious horse trading on the budget. Great message: maybe the way to get things done is not the "Washington Way" but the Delta Nu way--call your friends and take a trip to the corridors of power.

Not as good as the first film but still really funny and Reese Witherspoon is perfect as Elle. A must see!

Bethany M Super Reviewer
Feb 25, 2010

Bruiser is gay? NO WAY lol...The storyline continues from the original and it's all about Elle's dog finding it's mother and saving her. Reese is still endearing and effective as Elle, and the courtroom scene was reasonably believable. There were funny moments but not comparable to the first one therefore I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you're a masochist.
