Elf Christmas Movie Review

                                           
   

One of the best things about the holiday season is Christmas movies! There are so many Christmas movies that you wouldn’t even be able to count them all, from movies about Santa, to romance movies, to comedies about the craziness of the holiday season, to children’s movies. All these movies are worth watching, but one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies is Elf.

            Elf is a classic Christmas movie that most everyone adores, and I always hear so much about how this is their favorite Christmas movie. Elf was made in 2003 starring Will Ferrell, James Caan, and Bob Newhart. Elf is about Buddy the Elf who was raised in the North Pole as an elf, but when he finds out that he truly isn’t an elf, he goes on an adventure to New York City to find out who he really is.

            Elf is a hilarious story that everyone has fallen in love with! I love how the movie is so upbeat and happy most of the time, but still has a plot and a climax. Elf is downright fun to watch, and you can watch it a thousand times, but could watch it a thousand more. The movie never gets old, and it shows, because Americans still believe it is one of the top Christmas movies. The scenery in the movie is absolutely breath taking, and really gets you into the Christmas spirit. The things that Buddy the elf builds throughout the film, are things that every person dreams of making, but doesn’t have the skills to ever accomplish. 

             My personal favorite part of the movie was right after Michael, Buddy’s “brother” gets mad at Buddy for being a part of his life to that they get caught up in a snowball fight against so kids in New York City. Michael and Buddy team up to take down the snowball bully’s. This part is both meaningful and funny. It’s funny because Buddy is able to make so many snowballs while Michael is only able to make one. Then Buddy starts firing them off taking down all of the bullies. This part is also so meaningful, because this is really when Michael begins treating Buddy like a brother and they really are getting along now. This scene is just one of the many funny scenes in Elf. So if you too are looking to laugh a lot at an amazing Christmas movie, I would strongly recommend Elf.
