Dir. Charles Herman-Wurmfeld
In LB2 Elle is getting ready for her marriage to Emmett (a.k.a. the Prince Charming from the first one) when she realizes she forgot to invite Bruiser's mother. Bruiser is the Chihuahua-American who is Elle's best friend. When she finds out Bruiser's mom is in an animal testing laboratory, she realizes things - must - be - done. She heads to Washington D.C. to get some laws changed, using her Harvard degree and fashion knowledge to good effect. She finds out how the country is run, finds out how to work the system, and finds out some things about Bruiser at the same time.
It's hilarious, in a giggly kind of way. I think of it as a good cure for a bad day. As an extra gift with purchase, you get to hear a rock version of "I'm just a Bill" that is so good I bought the soundtrack. WARNING: It is a total chick-flick. That should have gone without saying, but just in case...if you don't like chick-flicks, you will not understand why this is such a great movie.
