Review by Bobby Nashville

B-? For Legally Blonde 2? I know I'm going to take a lot of heat for this, but I have to admit that A) I have a weak spot for Reese and B) this film is not trying to be Citizen Kane and C) it has it's heart in the right place.

Silly? Yes. Thought provoking? No. Worth renting? Maybe. How you will feel about Legally Blonde 2 really comes down to this: did you enjoy the first one? I mean did you really like it, not just "well that wasn't as bad as a I thought." If you liked, then Legally Blonde 2 is probably worth a rental for you. If not, then head for the hills because this baby is alot like the first one, but in Washington instead of on campus. For what it's worth, I actually liked the first one, so Legally Blonde 2 worked out as a good rental.

This time out, Elle Woods fights for legislation in Washington that protects the rights of dogs from cruel animal testing. Bob Newhart and Sally Field round out a cast that does a decent job all around. A funny subplot involves her dog Bruiser and his preference for dogs of the same sex! Cliche, I know, but it's done with tact and I found this film, like it's predecessor, a lightweight film with lots of charm.
