<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...

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.
