Great escapism and the best Ferrell film in nearly a decade

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2020)

Just the right kind of silly and inspiring escapism we need during a pandemic.
PROS:
Iceland
Sigur Ros songs
Rachel McAdams is earnest, sweet and has good chemistry with Ferrell - she's simply perfect in this
Ferrell is still goofy and fun, and this is clearly his well-researched love letter to Iceland
Playful jabs at American tourism in Europe
NEW never/rarely-seen locations on film
Fun music
Elves
Inspiring, despite the sometimes-Adam Sandler level of writing
Ya ya ding dong!
CONS:
A big too long, and slow in parts
No plans for a sequel....yet
