It's good but not amazing. That still puts it above the majority of Christmas movies though. I've been watching a new Christmas movie ever day this month and I'm surprised at how mediocre most of them are

I just watched it for the first time. I watched the movies that made us ep on it and decided to watch it. I should have took the cues from that ep and known it was probably not going to be good.

Elf is a lot better than bad, but it's not as good as people make it it to be. It's a solid 7.5 Christmas movie.

Speaking of, how are the Santa Clause movies? I actually never have watched any of these "classic" Christmas movies, tbh.

Someone pointed out that its a Zooey Deschanel movie inverted, where the male lead plays the manic pixie dream girl trope of being zany and overly positive, and Zooey Deschanel plays the mopey, depressed, sullen lead who gets shown how to find their own inner happiness. And I think thats nice, even if its not one of my favorite movies.

I like the first one. The second one is just ok and the third one isn't worth watching. I think they fall into the category of movies you'll only like if you grew up with them. The best thing about them is that they try more than any other movies that I've seen to explain how all the magic surrounding Santa works, so you might be able to appreciate that

This sounds like one of those terrible Reddit takes that sounds nice, but if you actually think about it, it doesnt hold up

An hour and half of annoying man child is not joyful.

Paddington was joy. There needs to be a Paddington Christmas film.

Is good until the 3rd act. Basically when Buddy runs in and ruins the meeting with Peter Dinklage it becomes shit. They stop being funny and have to wrap everything up and then we get that song where the mom really sux at singing and it just makes my ears bleed.

It's an average, okay Christmas movie, but it's far from the classic people try to hail it as.

Elf doesn't compete with even the worst Rankin Bass Christmas specials. Anyone who thinks it does is too young to know better.

Yeah. Zooey was known as the deadpan girl until she rebranded in New Girl as uber quirky. See Elf, Failure to Launch, Hitchhikers Guide....

The first one might be worth watching, but its not great. Even as a Tim Allen fan I cant really enjoy it

The 2nd and 3rd are abysmal

On topic, Elf is great

It's not even a Christmas movie. It's about a man trying to find his birth father. It just takes place around Christmas time.
