Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

Legally Blonde 2. (2003.) Running Time: 1 Hour 31 Minutes. Directed By: Charles Herman-Wurmfeld. Cert: PG. (Parental Guidance.) Please note I'm reviewing the VHS version of this movie, so there's nothing included on the special features of the DVD version, although I do know that the DVD includes audio commentary by the cast, deleted scenes, the music video for We Can by LeAnn Rimes, a "Welcome to Delta Nu" interactive quiz, a "Blonde Ambition" ...
...not-as-successful follow up to 2001's Legally Blonde, Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is back and this time she's fighting against animal testing in the cosmetics industry. Determined to send her little chihuahua Bruiser's mom an invite to she and Emmett's wedding, Elle discovers that Bruiser's mom is a test subject in a cosmetics lab. Horrified, Elle takes the case to the senior partners of the law firm she now works at, where, predictably, she gets ...

Review of Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

...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 ...
...to see this and so were the boys after a few stretches of the truth! (Boys are so gullible I mean come on what are the chances of Reese Witherspoon getting naked in a PG) I had read a few reviews of this which were all good and judging from the trailers it looked really good and if the quality of the first instalment was anything to go by then this would be a kick ass film. After about 20 minutes of worthless adverts, eating (and throwing) popcorn ...

Review of Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

...in the first of the Legally Blonde films was the best move Elle could have ever made. The soriety sister’s wedding plans are cruising along nicely as she spends her days pondering pink seating plans and cultivating the all important guest list. There’s just one problem. She still hasn’t managed to track one potential guest down and, as of course we all know, it’s common etiquette to RSVP at least six weeks before a wedding ...
...planned wedding to Emmett? Legally Blonde 2 is not a film meant to be taken seriously. Following on in the same vein as the first movie it’s a tongue in cheek, light - hearted celebration of all things pink that verges on the unbelievable and is, at times, nothing but silly. However, Reese Witherspoon positively shines in her role as "Capital Barbie" Elle making the few really funny scenes in this movie truly memorable. For not all of the ...

Review of Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

...Screenplay ~Criticism~ Legally Blonde 2: Bigger, Bolder, Blonder To give it it's UK subtitle. It's as though we in the UK cannot understand the reference Red, White and Blonde, which is the US subtitle. With sequels there are two schools of thought - either you really try to make the next movie different and try to take the characters in whole new directions, or you just rest on your laurels. With Legally Blonde 2, it's very much in the latter ...
...she was in the first Legally Blonde, but due to over familiarisation with the character you find that you don't warm to her as much. Elle doesn't seem to have much chance to grow as a character and as such comes across as a bit one dimensional. It isn't Ms Witherspoon's fault, as we have witnessed her fantastic performances in other movies, such as Election, one of my favourite films. Luke Wilson's character of Emmett the fiancé is only there as ...

...essentially the basic story behind LEGALLY BLONDE 2: RED, WHITE, AND BLONDE, a sequel to the 2001 hit that I also wrote an op on today. In fact, they manage to sneak in a clip from the 1939 film...even if you haven't seen it, you will know when it appears. Here, Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) has now graduated from Harvard and is now working for a top firm. However, she's trying to find time to marry her boyfriend (Luke Wilson, who returns from the ...
...much of my disappointment from LEGALLY BLONDE 2 (which I've been looking to see for many months), was the change of writer and director hands. Th mediocre story is by Eve Ehlert, Dennis Drake, and Kate Kondell, with the latter also writing the screenplay. Kondell is a first time screenwriter, which makes sense why she doesn't have the style and finesse of the original 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU scribes. (She has also written a love story involving ...

...after writing a review on Legally Blonde it was only fair that I wrote a review on the Second part to the film "Legally Blonde 2-Red, White and Blonde"…Bigger, Bolder and Blonder!! After a First hit show it isn't easy to come back with a second film but I must admit the film isn't what I expected at all, its much more better than what I was thinking!! Back in the first film we saw Elle Woods, battle for Brooke's justice of being innocent even though ...
...a sequel to the first Legally Blonde film but hats of to the writers they have done a really good job!! We see Elle doing what she loves…voicing her opinions and being the girlie girl!! === Other info === The DVD runs for an hour and half which is not too bad, it is rated a PG rather than a 12 for the first film…But there is some mild language in the film!! You can watch the DVD with subtitles if need be. I got the DVD for £3 in Woolworths, they ...

Review of Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

Legally Blonde was one of my favourite films when it first came out. It was funny, heartwarming, inspirational. I thought it was perfect as just the one film. When Legally Blonde 2 came out I personally didn't think that it would be any good. I therefore never had any urge to watch it. That was until it was advertised this week on the TV. So was it any good? Or just another rubbish sequel.. ..................... The Story ..................... ...

So armed with the compulsory pop corn and drink we proceeded ...

And really that's the centre piece to this film, the idea of pink, blondeness and bimbos - but it's not your typical blonde bimbo film, oh no - this is one with a difference! Against traditional ideas of the beautiful blonde playing a somewhat lacking intelligence character in films (have you ever noticed the majority ...

Review of Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

Legally Blonde 2 is the second film that has been based on the novel Legally Blonde written by Amanda Brown. The first movie was realised three years ago and starred Reese Witherspoon and followed the trials and tribulations of Elle Woods as she followed her boyfriend to law school in order to try and win him back and prove that blondes can be anything but dumb and do more than dye their hair... The first movie was incredibly successful and was ...

...with Toria and having watched Legally Blonde on TV last Sunday (thoroughly enjoyed it - surprisingly enough) we opted to rent Legally Blonde 2 on DVD. Elle has blossomed into an even girlier woman and is happily planning her wedding to Emmet. But wait - in her girlie mind she cannot leave Bruiser - her chihuahua out of the proceedings! On Bruiser's guest list should be his long lost Mum. But Bruiser was a rescue dog with no pedigree to bark of ...

Elle, for all her immaculate make up and hair products is disgusted and tries to get the company to release the animals. Although politically damaging to her current employment - she holds a presentation on the fate of Bruisers mum to her employers. They, however, ...

She is planning her wedding to Emmett and wants to reunite her ...

...is the second film after Legally Blonde 1 which was released in 2001. For the people who haven't seen it, it is about a girl named Elle Woods who is extremely girly and absolutely adores pink. When her long term boyfriend breaks up with her she won't let anything get in her way to try and win him back, which includes going to Harvard Law School. But one thing she never realised is that she would actually like it or even do well, and in a way it was ...
...the original film, I thought Legally Blonde 1 was much better. I also thought the film was quite unrealistic and at times a bit 'over the top', but overall it was great. I liked the characters a lot, especially Elle Woods with her always-happy and bubbly personality, and I thought Reese Witherspoon did an excellent job of playing her. One of the funniest scenes was when she finds out that her chihuahua Bruiser is homosexual, and has feelings for ...

Review of Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

Could anything be more lighter-than-air than the first "Blonde"? More improbable in terms of plot, pacing and pooch couture. Well, yes!. It only lasts a mere 94 minutes, but in my opinion "Legally Blonde 2" is fast & too furiously packed with "Omigod, I can't believe she just said that [and that I laughed]"-type lines to do anything but sit back and enjoy it. There are occasional misfires, a rather strange rap sequence with Congressional interns ...
...big summer movies,” Blonde 2" is fun. If not quite as "superfun!" (quote Elle) as its predecessor, it's only because again it is a ‘been there done that’ kind of film. This time around, Elle's swimming with the sharks in Washington D.C., although - always the girly optimist - she has no idea how nasty things will get when she pops in for her first day of work at Congresswoman Rudd's (Sally Field) office. “Oh my God," one Rudd staffer snarls. "It's ...

Review of Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

To tell the truth I was a bit disappointed with this film, I had seen Legal Blonde and thought it was fab and was sure I was going to enjoy the sequel, however I felt that they did not put as much in to this one and in a way were cashing in on its previous success. It was not my favourite movie and therefore I cannot recommend it. So what is it all about? You are back with lawyer Ella Woods and the film tells the story of her campaign to bring about ...
...that her dog’s mother is in a testing lab and this starts her mission to Washington to find support to stop this cruelty. When she gets there she has trouble finding someone to take her seriously and although she find a friend (or so she thinks) that offers her an office and people to work with they are not taken by her campaign and are bitchy about the way she deals with things. As the movie unfolds you find out that the person she thinks is a friend ...

Review of Legally Blonde 2 - Red, White And Blonde (DVD)

...when you go to see Legally Blonde 2? Rent the first film and you've got the idea! Legally Blonde 2 is a fun, feel good film, and nothing more, but that's not a bad thing! The film opens with a rather cheesey scene, where Elle's (Reese Witherspoon) friends flip through a scrapbook, which basically shows us what happened in the first Legally Blonde, and what has happened since. It's all very cute and pink and bubbley, so I guess it sets the scene well! ...
...same as Legally Blonde One, Elle moves away from home (last time to Harvard, now to Washington), she has to overcome a sneaky boss and sceptic co-workers to prove that not all blondes are dumb, and that you should follow your heart. From what I've written so far, you probably hate the idea of this film, but what's given Legally Blonde a huge following (and they're not all just pre-teen gitlies!) is the whole package, not just the story lines. It's ...
