Cute and Humorous but not hilarious- This coming from a HUGE Ferrell Fan.

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2003)

First off, I think Will Ferrell is extremely talented and is no doubt going to become a very successful comedian and hopefully ELF will be looked upon as a launching pad for his career. I didn't have THAT many problems with Elf- mainly is that I never thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh in some scenes but the previews once again gave away too much. I thought the begining started out very promising but dropped about halfway through. The ending (involving Santa and the chase scene in Central Park) didn't seem to fit the movie. But anyways, I wouldn't say ELF is a waste of time, just not the "HOLIDAY CLASSIC" everyone is talking about. If you really want a funny, good hearted comedy go see "SCHOOL OF ROCK".
Thanks
