synopsis
Having conquered Harvard, Elle Woods, the blonde, effervescent, pink-loving law school grad, is now a rising young lawyer at a great firm, balancing a demanding a career with preparations for her wedding to the man of her dreams. But when she finds out that her beloved dog Bruiser's family members are being used as cosmetic test subjects by one of her firm's own clients, she stands up for their rights--and is promptly fired. She's devastated, but you can't keep an optimist down. Ms. Woods goes to Washington to take matters into her own French-manicured hands. Trying to learn the political ropes and win over politicians, Elle faces a formidable challenge--and in a sea of grey, black, and navy, she sticks out like a pink thumb. Others on The Hill aren't immediately kind to "Capitol Barbie" and D.C. isn't an easy place for a person with impeccable fashion sense and a Harvard Law degree. But with her clever and sassy signature blend of intelligence and determination, she bucks the system the Elle Woods way. Speaking up for Bruiser and his family, Elle eventually inspires those around her to find voices of their own.

reviews
Witherspoon is saddled with the unenviable task of having to carry this mess of a movie, which falls way below the standard set by the first (which, while no Oscar contender, was amusingly original and delightfully heartfelt). We are well aware of the formula here: Elle's going to get what she wants, whether by default or design, and win over even her enemies in the process. What happened to Elle on the way to Washington? She's a style-obsessed dingbat, true--but she did graduate from law school
