Ferrell 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.

Sure, 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.

The 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.

A disarmingly funny holiday comedy.

The film soon bogs down in fake hugs and a fakier climax involving Santa (Ed Asner) and his downed sled.

Some 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.

I love watching Ferrell do his gangly, clueless shtick, and even here, there's something inherently funny about just seeing him in a big, green elf suit. There's something inherently funny about Ferrell -- period.

A movie made by people who really have their thinking caps on.

Ferrell's stone-stupid sincerity keeps the action moving and irresistible, despite its familiarity.

Thanks to Ferrell, it's a tolerably sweet holiday treat.
San Francisco Chronicle

11/7/2003 by Mick LaSalle

Funny and intelligently made, a film for kids and adults that's both sweet and sardonic.

It's Ferrell's untethered turn as Buddy that makes Elf sparkle.
Newark Star-Ledger

11/7/2003 by Lisa Rose

A resounding success in the laugh department, but it tries to warm hearts as well, and eventually collapses under the weight of its own sugarplum schmaltz.
New York Post

11/7/2003 by Megan Lehmann

A pleasantly old-fashioned, gee-whillikers Yuletide confection rescued from Schmaltz-ville by the subversive comic talents of Will Ferrell.
Houston Chronicle

11/7/2003 by Bruce Westbrook

As an original family film for the holidays, it's fresh, timely and quite funny.
Globe and Mail

11/7/2003 by Rick Groen

Say hello, kiddies, to the first big-hearted flick of the season. Time's up, so say goodbye and, be polite now, try to hide your mild disappointment.
Detroit News

You'll laugh hard, you'll laugh often, and you'll leave wishing you still believed in Santa.
Boston Globe

11/7/2003 by Wesley Morris

The movie sets Ferrell's assaultive and juvenile physical comedy in a less-combative playground, and the result might leave the Ferrell-intolerant exiting the theater on a high.

It's a clumsy, tedious ride that wears out its welcome as it wears out the seat of your pants and the circulation in your lower limbs.
Denver Rocky Mountain News

Falls short of a laugh riot but proves generally pleasing nonetheless.
