Words cannot express how very funny this movie was. Will Ferrell is on my short list of people who crack me up by merely "being." Buddy the Elf is so sweet and endearing. The kids will like it. It is lighthearted and heartwarming but the humor was done in a way that adults without kids should go see it too.

I went to the 10:10pm showing and was shocked out of my mind at the audience. It was nothing but college age kids who were loud and obnoxious.There were beer bottles smuggled in even! I said to my husband that if they think they're getting Will Ferrell from OLD SCHOOL, they're going to be disappointed. One guy even had an OLD SCHOOL tshirt on. They all laughed so loud throughout this movie. It was the craziest thing to see. One kid even said- and I quote-"not bad for a PG movie." I tell you it was a funny sight.

I took 10, 14 year old boys Saturday night and we all just loved it! It was a pretty mixed audience, but mostly younger kids (show was at 7). I thought it was just darling.

"oh, he's an angry little elf"


And when he and the kid were decorating the tree and the kid says they need to put the star on the top...he says, "I got it!" and then jumps from the couch to the tree - I loved that part!

We saw this Thursday evening. I had read that director Jon Favreau’s ambition was to create a holiday perennial and the press & review headlines were mostly very positive so my expectations were pretty high. While I wouldn’t call it a Christmas classic just yet, it certainly was good-hearted and funny enough to compare favorably with another contemporary seasonal hit, The Santa Clause. The visual & verbal nods to past family classics were a nice touch and song selection was good too. Plus seeing Andy Richter & Kyle Gass (of Tenacious D) in supporting roles was a hoot. I had no idea they were in this movie.

Just one other thing…I’m officially tired of gross out humor creeping into mainstream entertainment. I don’t see why this movie needed to include the belching & chewing old gum bits. Does that make me a grouch?

Trailers: The Cat in the Hat, a couple teen oriented flicks including one that stars Mandy Moore as the apparently oppressed daughter of the President of the USA, and a new one for The Return of the King.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing out loud for all to hear.

Yay! Very cute movie. Saw it today.

'this place reminds me of santa's workshop, except it smells like mushrooms and the people look like they want to hurt me"

this movie had some great lines and visuals.. i loved it too..

Calamity, its funny about your expectations, cuz i just wrote to you in the school of rock thread about having the same problem as you did with elf, at school of rock! i think our tastes are in cultural sync.. eg andy richter etc.
