Critic Reviews

Premiere Susannah Gora

In this sequel, as Elle uses her good-hearted pluck to work toward her goal, Witherspoon is a sheer delight, all charm and light and loveliness; you just want her to win. Read full review

Richard Schickel

We're talking fables, not reality, here, and this is a fine and merry one--"Ms. Woods Goes to Washington"--played to airy perfection by Reese Witherspoon and a light-on-its-feet cast. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

An even sweeter and lighter whipped confection than "Legally Blonde," this hugely enjoyable sequel serves up a generous second helping of the ingredient that made the original such an irresistible hit. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

Just as a fistful of drooping stalks does not a bouquet make, director Charles Herman-Wurmfeld's random collection of think-pink gags, canine couture and smart/dumb blonde jokes does not a comedy make. Read full review

Kim Morgan

Though there are some funny moments, little in "Red, White and Blonde" is enjoyable. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Like the first movie, this has some cute gags but collapses like a soggy paper plate because it can't decide whether to mock or celebrate the heroine's shallow materialism. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

One of the strongest arguments yet for making sequels illegal.

Not as clever or as good as the first, but it still manages lots of fun, humor, and entertainment into it. Many will disagree, but what does that matter. A nice carefree movie.

Not as good as the first but still an ok movie. We get to see Elle Woods being an attorney more. She's pretty good at what she does.

The first Legally Blonde was funny and entertaining, but the sequel is cheaply made and disorganized. The dialogue is forced and the acting isn't as good here.

I loved the first film. With it's unique approach and memorable performances the movie was undoubtedly a hit. So of course they wanted to cash in on it and boy did they. Without an original thought and only recycled statement Elle goes to Washington in hopes to launch a bill to stop testingI loved the first film. With it's unique approach and memorable performances the movie was undoubtedly a hit. So of course they wanted to cash in on it and boy did they. Without an original thought and only recycled statement Elle goes to Washington in hopes to launch a bill to stop testing on animals. Its obviously an important issue but one that would be better explored without laugh less humor and recycled plotlines. Unfortunately the great Sally Field, Reese Witherspoon and Regina King are sacrificed in its unnecessary sequel approach. As a movie it's really only a series of muddled jokes which fall mostly flat and all the characters especially the ones we lived the first time around are boiled down to one note stereotypes. Despite all of that there is a bit of charm here and there mostly due to Witherspoon but trust me this entry is definitely not worth investigating.

The humor material isn't funny there is nothing to laugh at, the jokes are cheap and flat, the only thing we laugh at in this movie is Reese Witherspoon's character. The girl characters are stereotypical, the direction is god-awful and so as the script.

I'm not sure how much worse a movie could get. The most annoying characters, generic plot and horrible humour. I think I would go mad if I watched it a second time.

Literally the worst film I have ever seen, contrived artless rubbish.
