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.

<em>'Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde'</em> is almost watchable, but I'd say I was more bored than locked onto what I was watching across the 90 minutes. It feels like a partial retread of the first film, it does its own thing but this one hits very similar beats; gets a touch tedious. The cast is possibly an upgrade, though the characters that appear aren't quite as interesting. Reese Witherspoon remains a competent lead, while Sally Field is decent in a welcomed off-type role. Not that Field's Victoria is all that positive; the exact same can be said for Regina King's Grace.
