I hate that movie anyway, no damage to me if it gets canceled.

It won't though.

Will Ferrell plays comically stupid people. Always. Every single one of his characters is dumb. Elf is no different. Part of the reason why I don't watch his movies is because his comedy style is terrible. He's Jim Carrey without any of the nuance.

Buddy is really mean to that midget... Its made very clear he doesn't want to be called an elf, and yet Buddy ignores him and keeps taunting him, even continuing to do so after he gets the **** kicked out of him. But that isn't what this article is about.

Would the movie really have been stronger if they gave Buddy an explicit mental disability? That one seems like it would be offensive.

Buddy eating cotton balls, running toward moving taxi cabs, and even exposing a department store Santa as fake doesn't inspire me to laugh. Instead, these moments made me wish he had a real support system in his life.

... Isn't this... LITERALLY the point of the movie? Everyone he knows pretty much start out distant and Buddy endears himself to them through his quirky behaviour. He very much develops his own support system because he's a stranger in a new place.

This article is insisting that Buddy is developmentally disabled, and then complaining that Buddy isn't being restrained and kept somewhere safe "for his own safety" because he had the poor luck to be born in a different society with different morals and values.

I'm assuming this person was so offended by this, they rushed to the computer to type out their victim article before they made it to all the midget jokes and the girl singing the Christmas rape song while Buddy sat unexpectedly by her shower (maybe they did mention all this, but I didn't read this trash).

I mean, the writer kinda has a point with the "special elf" thing, but Buddy isn't supposed to be cognitively disabled, he's just super naiive.
