ELF (Theatrical Release USA 2003)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Elf—sweet, gentle—turns into a very nice holiday child/adult share film.  Will Ferrell casts well with the supporting team of Bob Newhart, James Caan, and Edward Asner. The storyline has been well interpreted and directed well by Director Jon Favreau. No complications here. It’s a light, fun watch.
