movie great but sad

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2004)

We saw this movie at our school recently as a movie night celebration for Christmas.
It was a really good movie because it was exciting and in parts very funny like the scenes with Santa but the children found the bit about the dad shouting at the Elf really horrible and quite scary.
They hated the Dad character.
The best scene in the film was the happy ending when the Buddy and his girl few above the tower and disappeared to the North Pole and then had a baby and lived happily ever after.
My son ( 6) said if he had written this he would have had a different ending. He reckoned that they should have made it so that he found some kind of nice Dad to end up with.
