Elle Review: Prime Video's Legally Blonde Prequel Is Cute but Lacks the Original's Magic

By

Summary

Prime Video's *Elle*, a prequel to *Legally Blonde*, follows a young Elle Woods at her Southern California high school as she navigates popularity, mean girls, and her first taste of injustice. Starring Lexi Minetree, the series has some clever moments and a Game Boy Color visual gimmick, but it lacks the charm, wit, and sharp social commentary that made the original film a classic. The review notes the show is cute and watchable but ultimately doesn't pass the bar set by Reese Witherspoon's iconic performance.
