Elf

Elf is cute movie.  It's a funny movie.  It's a feel good film that's fun for the whole family! The purpose of Elf is to be as fun as possible, while still not being controversial.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, and I did enjoy watching it, but I really hope that I never have to see that movie again.  That being said, nothing was overtly corny or anything.  Will Ferrel does a great job at giving the impression of completely unadulterated innocence. I think it's interesting that that innocence was never lost as he dealt with the the real world.  I wonder if this is because who ever conceived the script was trying to make sure that the film only evokes happiness upon the viewer, or if he was trying to convey a message of some kind.  Yeah, good movie though.
