Not all that great

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2005)

I was expecting much better from Will Ferrell, but I never even laughed during this. It was amusing but not funny. Old School and even Anchorman at least had funny parts. It was like all there jokes just felt flat. If I had to pick a favorite part, I guess it would be the syrup and spaghetti scene.
One question I had why does Buddy act like a stupid 12 year kid just because he was raised with elves? None of the other elves act like they fell off the turnip truck.
And I thought the singing of Christmas carols toward the end was so hokie. Couldn't they had come up with a bigger obstacle for Santa to overcome and a more fun way of solving the problem.
FINAL VERDICT: Only for kids 11 and under.
