Elle review: A pitch-perfect teenaged Reese Witherspoon in a prequel one episode too long | Web-series News

Published by Parlour News

Elle review: After the third installment of her beloved courtroom comedy Legally Blonde couldn’t escape development hell, producer Reese Witherspoon decided to go the Wednesday Addams way and tracked her ditzy character Elle Woods’ high school years through a prequel series. The idea itself raised the question: would a privileged Los Angeles blonde like Elle even have a past worth telling? Given where she is at the start of Legally Blonde (2001), would she even have to encounter any strife while growing up? Are we in for something legally bland instead? I’m happy to report — and without Elle’s undying optimism — that’s far from the case. Finding Elle Half of Reese’s battle was won with the on-point casting of Lexi Minetree as the titular character. Besides her uncanny resemblance to Reese, Lexi has nailed (without breaking any of her acrylic nail extensions, as is her distinct skill) the body language, aesthetic, and most crucially, that distinctive voice of Elle Woods. Her dewy eyes also aid the DNA matching, and her natural exuberance hits the …

Director: Jason Moore, Sammi Cohen, Pete Chatmon and Stacie Passon. Rating: ★★★ Can you believe it’s been 25 years since Reese Witherspoon basically invented the colour pink? Her character Elle Woods has remained one of pop culture’s most unforgettable icons. From Legally Blonde to its sequel and even the stage musical, the pink-loving lawyer has refused to fade from public memory. Now, instead of taking her story forward, Prime Video’s upcoming web series Elle goes back to where it all began. Lexi Minetree in a still from Elle.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles review Cast: Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, Greg Kinnear Creator: David E. Kelley Number of episodes: 8 Star rating: ★★★ Margo (Elle Fanning) has more than just money troubles, and the new show does not waste any time showing us why. In the new Apple TV series Margo’s Got Money Troubles, based on the 2024 novel by Rufi Thorpe, Elle plays a rather impulsive and starry-eyed college student who is enamoured by her English professor Mark (Michael Angarano). It sure does not bode well, and soon enough, she is pregnant. What will she do now? Margo’s Got Money Troubles review: Michelle Pfeiffer, Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman in a still from the show.

6 min readMay 21, 2026 08:22 AM IST Margo is barely out of her teens, with hopes and dreams of becoming a writer, and is pursuing a college education when she finds out she is pregnant, and that’s where her money troubles begin. The why and how of her money troubles are pretty self-explanatory, and the Apple TV show answers those questions early on; what actually makes up the story here is how Margo plans to get out of the said troubles, and that makes this comedy-drama one of the more enjoyable shows of 2026. Created by David E Kelley (Big Little Lies, The Undoing, Boston Legal, Ally McBeal, Doogie Howser MD), and starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is quite reminiscent of a network television show (minus the X-rated OnlyFans content) where problems are severe, but not life-threatening; crises are tense but never unresolvable, and watching every episode makes you feel light-hearted, despite a few tense moments.
