Elf is full to the brim with Christmas spirit. It would not be the Christmas season without watching it multiple times. Will Ferrell gives 100% to the role of Buddy and the supporting cast is excellent. The filmmakers could have gone real raunchy with the movie and I'm so glad that they didn't. Rather than rely on cheap humor, the bits in this movie are quick, witty and hilarious.
Along with Home Alone and a few other family favorites, this is one of the most quoted movies in my house. I haven't even mentioned the brilliance of the score by John Debney... Perfect! Take the nostalgia out of it and this movie is still, pure magic. It's a story of hope, belonging and having a positive outlook on life.
