How old is Elle in the beginning of the movie?


Does anyone know? Thanks!

Well, at the beginning before they get to law school, it seems like Warner and Elle are both in their last year of college so I would guess they're about 21-ish, assuming they went the typical four year route.

This is my signature.

I'd say more likely 22 (maybe turning 23 in the course of the story), possibly 21-turning-22. She'd likely be 25 in the tacked-on scene at the end.

She's graduating from college with a bachelor's degree (can't go to Law School without one); her boyfriend is doing the same; there's nothing that suggests that she skipped a grade earlier, or that either of them has delayed things, or that she's older than he is; she goes directly from college to law school.

Ah. Yes. Good point. I did my math wrong.

This is my signature.

Further, she mentioned she was a Gemini, which means a May/June birthday. She almost certainly would have turned 5 before starting Kindergarten, and would have turned 18 before beginning her undergrad. She'd turn 22 right around graduation, assuming the 4-year track.

Since the beginning of the movie takes place in the spring of their senior year of college, I would say she's probably 22.

Her license plate is 22BLONDE, so I assumed she was 22.

Her two sorority friends seemed a bit old.
