As the Christmas season comes around the corner, it's time for those much loved Christmas movies to start airing again! ELF, a 2003 comedy (rated PG) is one of my favorites to watch around the holidays.
Starring Will Ferrell, this film is about an Elf named Buddy who goes to New York City in search of his birth father. When Buddy finds his father, he realizes that he is nothing like he expected (he's even on Santa's "Naughty List").
The film had seven wins and two nominations. One was a 2004 Golden Trailer award for Best Comedy. Will Ferrell was nominated for a Best Comedic Performance award at the 2004 MTV movie awards. He was also nominated for a Choice Movie Actor award at the Teen Choice Awards. Finally, it was nominated for another Teen Choice award for Choice Movie - Comedy.
ELF is an original story that definitely brings some laughs. Will Ferrell delivered a great performance, as always. The story is creative, but classic. It's not the greatest Christmas movie ever made, but on a night in during the Christmas season with your family? Why not?
My Grade: B+
