: Last nite i headed to the movies to see what i had hoped would be a great sequel to a film i really like. however althgouh i didnt want to write these words the film did not live up to its predeccesor. The original legally blond is a teen flick but it stands out. The second edition was jus tone long formulated strategy to replay old gmmicks in an attempt to recapture the magic the original possessed. i went in there wanting to like it but some of it was so ridiculous the only thing it lacked was a falling anvil. Of course the original did not have the most realistic plot line but it did manage to stay within the realm of credible. I'm a Resse fan but her character was too forced and came off as unnatural. Lastly I felt that jus tlike every picture he seems to be in Luke wilson was majorly under used. The man has a lot of potential that nobody seems to tap into. He got his standard five minutes in teh beginning and his thirty seconds in the end. It was practically the same role he had in Charlie's Angels 2. He sort of reminds me of Lee as being a funny good looking guy who can't seem to get the rite parts (outside of kevin's stuff of course). Did i laugh during legally blond 2 ? Yes. Just don't expect the same charisma and charm of the original.
