Elf

Just wanted to let people buying this know that this is a Blue-Ray disk and it might not work on your computer or DVD player, so unless you have a device that can read Blue-Ray disks, do not get this version.

Im just not a Will Ferrell fan, or really into SNL humor from the first decade of the 21st century in general, so I never got around to watching this until this year. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the movie works, though, because his predictable antics are contrasted/complemented nicely by the rest of the cast, who acts pretty seriously or deadpan (Bob Newhart!) most of the time, making this a different kind of movie than I had expected. Its not some rollicking zany Ben Stiller-esque kind of thing, but actually a bit closer to Man on the Moon or Mrs. Doubtfire, in that the main characters eccentricity is kind of bracketed off as its own thing, while the rest of the film implicitly targets an audience of grown adults who really arent entertained by the pure silliness of it, so much as how preposterous that silliness looks against a background of realistic life. And then theres the equally delightful North Pole setting, which is a kind of knowingly improbable recreation of the classic Rankin/Bass Christmas specials transposed into a hilariously more realistic and literal register. They didnt phone it in when they made this modern Christmas classic--it was clearly built to last.

this was purchased for the wife , she likes it . it came in a timely manner and as described .

The best way to watch Elf, was a smooth clean picture, and a pleasure to watch with a higher level of clarity and color!

I rented Elf for my granddaughters to watch. They loved it.

I love the movie but I cant navigate the menu to the commentaries. I have to use the audio button on the remote to cycle through the audio options.

We bought a handful of Christmas movies because we didnt really have that many, & enjoyed this one the best. It was very funny, & not having parts youd almost like to skip because of kids.

Just a classic that is fun for the whole family!

Really enjoyed the movie and intend to view it every Christmas holiday season

Love this movie watch it every Christmas
