Solidly Good

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 2019)

Elf has sort of went off the map in recent years. It's been a while since I watched it, and I wasn't sure if it was going to hold up. I like Will Ferrell a lot, so I have it a try. It's a good one. Perhaps one of the best Christmas movies out there.
The movie is about a human baby who grows up as an elf in North Pole. He discovered his real father lives in New York, and sets out to find him. There, he meets his father, and falls in love with another human.
This is some good stuff. There were plenty of laugh out loud scenes. I couldn't even say it had any boring parts. The beginning was a little slow though. It was some solid good fun. I guess everyone else in the cast was secondary to Ferrell, but they all did well. When I thought the collaboration between the elf and his business minded father would suffice the entire story, suddenly new subplots arose that were even more satisfying.
Great movie. A must see
