The best Christmas film of the 21st Century (so far)

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2013)

A Christmas film is a Christmas film is a Christmas film,and only once every so often does one come along that becomes a must see every Christmas season.Elf is just such a film.Going in and knowing the type of humor that Will Ferrell represented,I went into my first viewing expecting to hate it.I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised to the contrary.I love it and it is an every Christmas must see at my house.The humor is clean and funny,the story has a very retro feel with hints of the Christmas movies and TV specials of our childhood.Ferrell was great as the central character and he was supported well.Bob Newhart was a nice touch as Papa Elf.I could go on and on.A fun film.
