- Roderick Vaughn Bridges1d agoSometimes you just need a little bit of a push to get into holiday spirit, or a guy named buddy. Great holiday movie, mix for the whole family.
- JM3d agoGreat movie, has become a holiday classic
- Q_Prof4d agoWatched it because of the high ratings... Both myself and my wife didn't like it at all. It was too silly and extreme... Probably young kids may like it, but for us adults, it felt like we wasted our time and wished we had watched something else.
- ChrispixNovember 8, 2025THE BEST WAY TO SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER IS WATCHING ELF ON MAX VOLUME FOR ALL TO HEAR!!!
- Daryl Williams6d agoGreat Christmas film. 7.8/10
- ርልዪረ6d agoThis was one of my favorite movies in 2003. Will Ferrell is brilliant as the Elf. The supporting cast is great too, especially Bob Newhart as his elf "dad". The characters are well written and it is a refreshing film to get lost in. Will Ferrell plays the elf with such innocence, he is so funny! This is not just a Christmas film but when the DVD comes out I will be watching "Elf" in July. The story progresses nicely, there are many lessons to be learned as you watch this movie. It touched my heart in many ways. I highly recommend this movie for kids AND adults, you won't regret it. Treat yourself and watch this "original" movie. Hollywood needs to make more like this.
