    Los Angeles Times | Manohla Dargis

    Elle dresses in shades of sorbet and dolls up her Chihuahua like a bantamweight drag queen, but by fighting the good fight she's also giving alpha girls and women their due, rescuing them from the magazine horror stories and the taint of Hillary. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

    Takes the financially successful formula of "Legally Blonde," the Reese Witherspoon hit from two years ago, and does something unexpected. It fiddles with it, changes it and actually fixes it. Read full review

    Variety | David Rooney

    The script here just doesn't have sufficient smarts to pull off Elle's political triumph. But Witherspoon again makes a valiant show of selling it. Read full review

    Entertainment Weekly | Owen Gleiberman

    At once brasher and more frivolous, she's a lot less compelling fighting for the welfare of lab-test animals than she was crusading for her own dignity. Read full review

    Rolling Stone | Peter Travers

    There's not enough here to sustain a half-hour sitcom, but Reese Witherspoon shoulders the burden with star shine to spare. Read full review

    The New York Times | A.O. Scott

    A movie for people who somehow managed to miss the point of the first picture. Read full review

    USA Today | Claudia Puig

    The first one was silly fun, amusing and oddly inventive; the second is plodding, unfunny and almost cringe-worthy. Read full review

    Washington Post |

    Flops where it should zing, trotting out cringe-worthy cliches and hoary plot contrivances and depicting femininity through a drag queen's funhouse mirror. Read full review


Information for Parents
