Elf

I watch this movie every year I love it

We watched it and it was amazing.

Hands down best Christmas movie ever

Such a good movie no bad words great for family Christmas fun. p.s. Dont eat gum of of trashcans!

Cool movie! We watch it on Christmas eve.

There is something brilliant about seeing a giant man in a bright green elf costume, acting like an absolute child, in the middle of the hard streets of NYC. This movie has a lot of love crafted into it. You can tell just from the beginning, with the stop-motion animations a clear call-back to the classic Christmas animations of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, etc.. The dedication to using old-school forced perspective to make the elves smaller than the humans, rather than resorting to CGI that would look dated in 5 years. The use of a dull background and bright costumes made the Workshop pop and have surreal story-book feeling to it, very clever. You can feel the heart and effort those who made the movie put into this, so much so that even at the climax with the usual cheesy power of Christmas, that instead of rolling the eyes, you get kind of swept up in it, and bam, youre a child again that still believes in Santa and magic and a world of wonder and joy. There are a lot of Christmas movies out there, but this one is unique in being light but also heavy. It has some heavy meaty stuff that hooks you in, but it is light enough that you are not intimidated to dip your toes into the movie for a re-watch every Christmas. The only case I wouldnt recommend this is if you really, really dislike the star of the movie. Cause he is front and center and carries it. He went ham on channeling his inner child and sells it. Man is brave, especially when the film crew let him loose in NYC interacting with normal non-actors. Man coulda gotten punched in the face, just sayin. But some people just dont like certain actors, which I can respect, so if Will isnt your cup of tea, dont feel obligated to watch.

We loved this movie!!

We can never find this on TV at Christmas aslnd its my daughters favorite movie so Im happy we can watch it any time we like.

Fun xmas movie!

My kids and their friends of which stayed over for the weekend wanted to watch a Christmas movie; so, they chose Elf movie. Its been a while since I watched this movie but I laughed just as hard as they did throughout the entire movie. I would recommend this movie and using Amazon Prime movie service as well. Amazon made it easy to order the movie on my kids computer. Now the TV was a different story; since I havent used Amazon to rent movies in good while, I forgotten my PIN to order the movie on my TV. I had to go on my computer, change my pin on my amazon account and then, I could use my PIN once again. By that time, I already ordered the movie on the computer. Anyway, Elf was a good movie and Amazon made it easy for me to order my movies until I forgot my PIN of which was my fault.
