“Ferrell brings manic energy to this tale of an oversized elf called Buddy and it’s still a charmer after 20 years.”
The Guardian
“How many human beings among us are capable of making a comedy with wit and intelligence that also takes bold pleasure in unabashed silliness? I think this is what happens when you let an elf loose with a movie camera.”
Salon
“The real gift of Elf is the simple pleasure of a sweet and funny comedy that genuinely embraces its message of holiday cheer and still has fun goofing with it.”
