The lawyer Elle Woods works in Boston for a large law firm and is to be promoted to partner. She is about to get married and has a dog.

To reduce tension within the team, Elle introduces a method in which everyone writes something positive about another person on a piece of paper. The contents of the notes are read aloud, then Schnipp-Schnapp is called. However, the written comments about Elle are not particularly positive.
Woods is supported by a politician whose dog turns out to be homosexual and falls in love with Woods' dog.

Your student association is organizing a demonstration in Washington. Woods gives a speech to the US Congress . Rudd calls her sponsor Bob. Since the conversation is being recorded, Rudd is forced to sign the bill as well.
The campaign is successful and the law is passed. Woods returns to Boston and marries the friendly lawyer Emmett. In the last scene, the chairman of parliament reads positive remarks about another politician from a piece of paper, the MPs then shout out loud Schnipp-Schnapp .
Reviews
James Berardinelli described the film on ReelViews as a "cinematic abomination" ("cinematic abomination"). He criticized the filmmakers for trying to get a serious message into a film that was conceived as a satire. Berardinelli scoffed that none of the characters in the film had a "three-digit IQ". He described the figure of Elle Woods ' dog as "annoying". He continued to mock that after seeing the film he preferred brunettes more than ever.
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of July 2, 2003 that the film conveys a simplified and idealized picture of the US Congress . He described Woods' speech to Parliament as "truly idiotic", but he said the film had some "funny" scenes.
"Silly teen comedy with stale reminiscences of film history, which finally takes the imposed message of the first part 'Naturally Blond', 2001, that blondes can also think, to absurdity and instead ends in an exaggerated patriotic appeal."
