This really isn't a great movie. If you want to watch a film that will touch your soul, try Lion.
That being said, I don't think this sequel is as horrible as everyone seems to think on here. I mean yeah, the stereotypical blonde thing is overdone, but at least Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods shows that there is more than meets the eye to some if not all people. I have a sister that is not the most analytically intelligent, but she certainly has a high EQ, which is no doubt just as valuable in this society as IQ. We need a dichotomy like EQ and IQ, a scale that houses a multitude of variations in between, to evolve. We need to be able to feel, decipher, and comprehend both our emotions and those of others if we are going to become the most enlightened forms of ourselves, fomenting the most enlightened society in turn. Pure intellect isn't going to end suffering; we need a highly developed form of compassion too.
Recognizing the value of someone like Elle Woods, who often "misses the mark" in terms of the finer facets of analysis, points to a capacity to see the whole picture. We all have or at least should have someone in our lives, male or female, that nurtures us by picking up on how we feel.
It's disappointing to see so many people knock Legally Blonde 2 for choosing a political issue they fail to see the enormity of. If you don't get how important animal rights are, you're seriously missing a facet of the "bigger picture" of evolution. All forms of life, by virtue of their inherent value, deserve liberation. It's just low that so many people think the lives of animals are less important than those of humans. This isn't a competition. We don't have to solve racism or sexism first before we tackle animal rights. If we are simply working toward recognizing and fully assimilating (by subjugating the ego, mainly) the inherent value of life, all of these issue will be tackled at the same time. I commend Legally Blonde for referencing a political/social dilemma that is so very toxic and sad.
