Amazon.co.uk Review

Elf is genuinely good. Not just Saturday Night Live-movie good, when the movie has some funny bits but is basically an insult to humanity; Elf is a smartly written, skillfully directed, and deftly acted story of a human being adopted by Christmas elves who returns to the human world to find his father. And because the writing, directing, and acting are all genuinely good, Elf is also genuinely funny. Will Ferrell, as Buddy the adopted elf, is hysterically sincere. James Caan, as his rediscovered father, executes his surly dumbfoundedness with perfect aplomb. Zooey Deschanel, as a department store worker with whom Buddy falls in love, is adorably sardonic. Director Jon Favreau (Swingers) shepherds the movie through all the obligatory Christmas cliches and focuses on material that's sometimes subtle and consistently surprising. Frankly, Elf feels miraculous. Also featuring Mary Steenburgen, Bob Newhart, Peter Dinklage, and Ed Asner as Santa Claus. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest Christmas films EVER!!, 9 Nov 2004
By Gary Hilton "ursinebrute" (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Elf (DVD And Clock) (Sell Through) (DVD) [2003] (DVD)
At last! ELF gets an appropriate (if slightly overdue) festive release!

Ferrell starts as Buddy, the 'elf' of the title, a baby mistakenly taken to the north pole and raised along with the rest of Santa's elven helpers. As he grows up he can't understand why he towers 4 feet over all the other elves, or why he doesn't have pointed ears? Eventually, he learns of his origins and sets off to the big city to find his real father.
Once there, he becomes comically confused by the modern day interpretation of Christmas and starts to despair when the true spirit of Christmas seems to be lost. Think of this film as a cross between Dudley Moore's 'Santa Claus The Movie' and Steve Martins 'The Jerk' and you will get the idea.

Most of the fun in this film comes from Ferrells charming and at the same time manic performance, and he clearly carries the whole film, although the supporting cast are also strong.

A wonderful family film, this is one the most delighful Christmas films ever made!

This review is from: Elf [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
I adored this film. It has a real christmassy atmosphere, and Will Ferrell is simply hilarious. I didn't stop laughing from start to finish, it was just so funny! Definitely one I will show my children in the future, and a christmas movie that is surely going to be a classic!

Make sure you watch this one, I guarantee it will be worth it! 5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Santa Clause is coming to town, 25 Oct 2006
By Pink Princess (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elf (DVD And Clock) (Sell Through) (DVD) [2003] (DVD)
This film is sooo funny. If you are looking for a feel-good Christmas film that will make you laugh out loud then this is it. If you are a child (big or small!)then this film is perfect for getting you in the Christmas spirit and has you believing in Santa all over again. The scene where Buddy (Will Ferrell) pushes in front of all the children in his excitement to see santa again and then exposes him as the fake he is, is hysterical. In fact a giant elf walking around New York and acting like an excited kid is hilarious. But this film is also heart-warming in a Scrooge-esque kind of way, where grumpy old business man realises that family is more important than money and when everyone starts singing "Santa Claus is coming to town" to prove their faith in Santa I can feel that Christmas excitement buzzing around in my belly!
