Put This Elf on Your Movie Shelf

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2015)

Wow. Will doesn't have to be crude, addicted to sports or streaking naked to entertain the masses.
What a lovely and non-threatening holiday classic. Pretty darn funny in some spots, warm in others and the suspension of disbelief is fairly easy for the most part. (I mean, exceptHe's still human, right? Wouldn't he freeze in that outfit? I digress)
I've only seen this once before – many years ago and remember liking it, but since I've heard so many people call it their favorite, I had to revisit this Christmas Eve 2015. Not sorry I did and will now continue to cherish it many more times.
Kinda reminded me a ton of another one of my all-time favorite comedies, Liar Liar, this movie about an adopted kid/elf seeking out his stereotypical bad movie dad and showing true positivity in an otherwise cross New York City is perfect for the whole family. And every once in a while, it's nice to have something that's both great for kids, but also enjoyable to adultswithout being a Pixar animated movie.

Final thoughts: You may have been right about the half star, Chris, but forgot about the four full ones before it. See? My heart's not always three sizes too small! (Oops, wrong movie)
