Will Ferrell is Drop Dead Hilarious. MUST SEE
13 of 22 people found this review helpful.
Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell and more Will Ferrell. And he’s wearing tights. It really doesn’t get much better than “Elf”.
Its not another Saturday Night Live movie – and don’t get me wrong, I like those! – like Night at the Roxbury or the Ladies Man. This is a movie that actually has a plot. Has real dialogue. And ha continuous laughs.
This is actually Will Ferrell’s first leading role and, along with Old School, the movie that cemented him as a comedic star and a $20,000,000 leading actor. Playing Buddy the human Elf, Will Ferrell finds himself lost in the bustling world that is New York City. Whether you are a child or an adult, the gem of the movie is Will Ferrell because he comes across likeably and awkwardly – playing the fish-out-of-water role quite perfectly. The lasting appeal of the movie is that the comedy is good-natured rather than raunchy – making it appealing for all audiences.
Additionally, Elf has great replay value and the DVD is loaded with features and extras. Great lines include:
Emily: You like sugar, huh?
Buddy: Is there sugar in syrup?
Emily: Yes.
Buddy: Then YES!
Buddy: I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.
Buddy: First we'll make snow angels for a two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookiedough as fast as we can, and then we'll snuggle.
