    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages
    • Good role models

    I love Legally Blonde 2!!!

    My dad is a lawyer and absolutely loves both of the movies! I saw this one on ABC and now I love it more then ever! It's pretty decent and clean too! One sexually themed joke is that two dogs are gay but it's really stupid! Elle is a good role model because she's smart(havard graduate), and wants to help animals!! Of course there's a little moral that just because your blonde doesn't mean your stupid, and in that sense it's talking about all races! I LOVE IT!!!

    I rate this title iffy for age 10 and give it 4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Excessive consumerism

    Good, but not the best.

    I liked it but at some points, like when she uses cell phones, there is always an noticeable Sprint logo on it. And some of it isn't as appropriate as the first.

    Really good and you dont have to be 13 to watch it!

    This is a really good movie... the only reason I dont give it 5 stars is because it reminds me a lot of teh 1st one! Still a really good movie though!

    Not all that great, but had its moments

    It definetly wasnt as good as the first legally blond and i loved that one! I thought it was ok but not really all that funny. I think the movie wouldve been better had they not made bruiser gay. i thought it was unnecessary esp when they show bruiser "bein gay."

    Funny

    This movie is really funny. I love all the Legally Blonde movies they are so funny. This movie is not as good as the first one but it is still fun to watch whenever you are sad or something because this movie will make you laugh so hard!

    Not as good as first...but still good

    I have to say I was slightly disappointed the first time I saw this. It's not as good as the first and the humor is a little off. However I decided to give it another chance the other night and ended up liking it more. The sequel to Legally Blonde is much, much tamer than the first movie. There is some innuendo but kids won't notice. 10 and up. :)

    LEGALLY BLONDE 2: RED WHITE AND BLONDE

    LB2 was a cute, sensible movie that was great but my mom didn't like it because she loved the first one because of its smart but pretty women, but in this she thought it felt like the women had to be pretty to be smart and the smart were dull and ugly. But, I thought the movie was hilarious Age Group: 10 +

    This movie is a fun one to see with friends!

    This movie is not as good as the first one, the plot is sort of similar, but there are still some new and funny things in the movie. This is for kids over the ages of 10.

    Cute but more of the same

    This movie is basically the same as the first. While it was funny and clever at times, other times it tried too hard and seemed like one big ad for Jimmy Choo shoes and other high-end clothing that most young people cannot afford. Still, it's a pleasant diversion!
