Review of Elf
I have seen the movie Elf many times and every time I never tire of it. Elf is a great mive becasue it has the timeless essence that many classic movies have. It isn't a movie that makes jokes aboiut pop culture but jokes and ideas that are funny and true no matter what time period. I think that this is one of the best things about the film. Another thing that made the film what it was to me was the acting and casting. Though Will Ferrell hardly seems to be the "30" year old character that he is cast as his delivery and emotions play forth qand his age is pretty easily forgiven. James Caan also plays a great scrooge and his harsh miserly attitude is really fun to watch. I think that the movie chemistry bewteen Deschanel and Ferrel is extremely real and I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to be the other have to her. From beginning to end this movie has the holiday spirit at heart and try to make the audience believe too. One thing that has inspired me in his movie is the motto of the elves: The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. For the past few years I have been hosting an Elf party to get in the mood for the holdays. We eat the spaghetti with candy, watch the movie and then go caroling. Elf is a great movie that I will always enjoy watching and it shows a very good side true Christmas spirit.
