Elf Christmas best movie!

Classic!

This movie is a great family movie for the holidays. You’ll laugh and cry.

We watched it as a family for Christmas

Christmas essential

So funny. Glad we can watch it every Christmas now that we bought it.

Added it to the family collection. Loads fast with great quality and sound. Will be watching it every year!

Im just not a Will Ferrell fan, or really into SNL humor from the first decade of the 21st century in general, so I never got around to watching this until this year. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the movie works, though, because his predictable antics are contrasted/complemented nicely by the rest of the cast, who acts pretty seriously or deadpan (Bob Newhart!) most of the time, making this a different kind of movie than I had expected. Its not some rollicking zany Ben Stiller-esque kind of thing, but actually a bit closer to Man on the Moon or Mrs. Doubtfire, in that the main characters eccentricity is kind of bracketed off as its own thing, while the rest of the film implicitly targets an audience of grown adults who really arent entertained by the pure silliness of it, so much as how preposterous that silliness looks against a background of realistic life. And then theres the equally delightful North Pole setting, which is a kind of knowingly improbable recreation of the classic Rankin/Bass Christmas specials transposed into a hilariously more realistic and literal register. They didnt phone it in when they made this modern Christmas classic--it was clearly built to last.

Just a classic that is fun for the whole family!

Such a good movie no bad words great for family Christmas fun. p.s. Dont eat gum of of trashcans!
