Simply the best Christmas movie that I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2003)

I gave Elf a 10 and I'm 48 years old. I gave it a ten for the fact that it is the best movie in it's genre that I have ever seen. Although "A Christmas Story" and the old Alistair Sims "A Christmas Carol" are two other terrific holiday movies, most Christmas flicks are fairly weak. I guess I must have been in the right mood to like this movie so much but everything worked so well in a film where everything had the potential to really suck. Will Farrel is the major reason behind the success of this movie. I could not imagine another actor being able to pull the character off. Enough said. Go see it with your whole family.
