Elf

Film Review by Dean Duncan Jul 6, 2015

That long ago? This is almost annoyingly popular and favoured. It’s not like it’s perfect. James Caan as the candidate for redemption is like Gene Lockhart playing an angel in Carousel. Which he did. With Ed Asner this time, we’re still being coy and cowardly with this Santa Claus/Jesus thing.

Still, isn’t it good? Among other things it features an extremely long belch, and that stunt man leaping up onto that Christmas tree.
