Elf

Was purchased as a Christmas gift. No negative feedback

Right off the bat, my wife and I noticed that all the scenes were noticeably darker than the blu-ray release. Distractingly so! The colors were much richer but not enough to offset the Dark Distraction! Im going to see how I can return this to Amazon.

Whats not to love??? If you dont like this movie then you probably smell like mushrooms.

Watch it every year and it never disappoints!

We loved this movie!!

Elf Christmas best movie!

Im just not a Will Ferrell fan, or really into SNL humor from the first decade of the 21st century in general, so I never got around to watching this until this year. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the movie works, though, because his predictable antics are contrasted/complemented nicely by the rest of the cast, who acts pretty seriously or deadpan (Bob Newhart!) most of the time, making this a different kind of movie than I had expected. Its not some rollicking zany Ben Stiller-esque kind of thing, but actually a bit closer to Man on the Moon or Mrs. Doubtfire, in that the main characters eccentricity is kind of bracketed off as its own thing, while the rest of the film implicitly targets an audience of grown adults who really arent entertained by the pure silliness of it, so much as how preposterous that silliness looks against a background of realistic life. And then theres the equally delightful North Pole setting, which is a kind of knowingly improbable recreation of the classic Rankin/Bass Christmas specials transposed into a hilariously more realistic and literal register. They didnt phone it in when they made this modern Christmas classic--it was clearly built to last.

I love this movie but very disappointed that I had to pay to watch it with a prime membership. Amazon - you are cruel.

Cool movie! We watch it on Christmas eve.

The video quality is instantly noticeable. One of the best looking Blu to 4k transfer improvements. Worth the upgrade.
