Critic Reviews of "Elf (2003)"
NewsweekDecember 14, 2014Ferrell is a hoot. So is much of this witty holiday family entertainment, which, up until the end, when the "true spirit of Christmas" must be reaffirmed, happily favors slapstick over treacle.
Associated PressDecember 04, 2013Sure, Elf feels a little too feel-good at the end, but what do you expect? It's a Christmas movie! Anything else would be the cinematic equivalent of finding coal in your stocking.
AV ClubDecember 04, 2013The cast wrings laughs out of David Berenbaum's script as if it were a damp washcloth, but even they have trouble selling frenetic button-pushing as the Christmas spirit.
Chicago ReaderNovember 27, 2007The film soon bogs down in fake hugs and a fakier climax involving Santa (Ed Asner) and his downed sled.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006Some humour might sail over the heads of the very young, but there's a higher chuckle rate for the grown-ups than much dread 'family' fare.
London Evening StandardDecember 14, 2014While his plotting may leave a little to be desired, Favreau directs with speed, humour and efficiency.
Tulsa WorldDecember 14, 2014Raise a glass of cheer to Ferrell and Favreau. They might not have created a full-scale holiday classic here, but they've certainly given us a fresh, sparkly new bauble to hang on our perennial tree.
Florida Times-UnionDecember 14, 2014Will Ferrell has the ability to turn those wide eyes and that big body into a potent comic weapon, so Elf gets a good number of laughs from his complete, innocent abandonment to his role as a lummox-size elf.
Triple JDecember 14, 2014It was all very simple, but enough to remind me just what a generous and talented performer Will Ferrell truly is.
Screen InternationalDecember 13, 2014Elf is a Christmas comedy that's as sweet-natured and goofily amusing as its title character.
