We went and saw Elf last night with Chance and Laura. I admit that the first time I saw the trailer for it I told myself that I'd never see it because it looked a little too dumb. But...
I have not laughed that hard at a movie since I saw Master of Disguise which was not really a good movie per say, but Dana Carvey always provides the laughs. Elf was hilarious and there is no one in the world that I could see playing that role better than Will Farrell. That guy is not only stinking hilarious but he truly makes you believe that he is that character.
If you get a chance to see it then you should, and don't put "Elf" on the "Shelf."
