- 51LV3RApril 26, 2025One of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. It's just not Christmas without Elf in it.
- ChrispixNovember 8, 2025THE BEST WAY TO SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER IS WATCHING ELF ON MAX VOLUME FOR ALL TO HEAR!!!
- rvrsideDecember 31, 2025We had uncontrollable grins on our faces by the end, so I think it must have been good. I laughed out loud several times and the expected cringe was largely absent. I can imagine watching it again next year. It's certainly a Christmas film and suitable for everyone.
- thornman99December 25, 2025Good Christmas flick.
- Dan HernandezDecember 25, 2025Staple, but not in my top 5 Christmas films!

WELL, WHO DO THEY THINK PUTS ALL THEIR TOYS UNDER THE TREE? [BOB] WELL, THERE'S A RUMOR FLOATING AROUND THAT, UH, THAT THE PARENTS DO IT. [WILL] THAT'S-- THAT'S RIDICULOUS. I MEAN, PARENTS COULDN'T DO THAT ALL IN ONE NIGHT. WHAT ABOUT SANTA'S COOKIES? I SUPPOSE PARENTS EAT THEM, TOO? WHAT AS WILL SAID .
- Roderick Vaughn BridgesDecember 23, 2025Sometimes 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.
- JMDecember 22, 2025Great movie, has become a holiday classic
- Q_ProfDecember 20, 2025Watched 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.
- smash54December 7, 2025Best Christmas movie
- Daryl WilliamsDecember 19, 2025Great Christmas film. 7.8/10
- ርልዪረDecember 18, 2025This 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.
- Spaceman JoeDecember 14, 2025It’s a classic, funny enough I guess
