This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I know New Line Cinema is the studio that released the film, but New Line is still an acquired property of Warner Bros, since 1996.This is one of my favorite Warner Bros. films next to the Lego Movie. Will Ferrell, for the most part, is hilarious. His performance of Buddy Hobbs is fantastic.Similar to Arthur Christmas, this movie is one of the reasons why Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. The story is awesome, the humor is clever, it has some emotional moments, the writing is well done, and the characters are memorable. It may be better than Buddy's Musical Christmas, but that honestly isn't saying much.Overall, this film is fantastic. Great Christmas film for everyone who enjoys Christmas.

This movie has changed my life in the most awesomest of ways. It has shown me that tall people are not a threat to the environment and cannot unintentionally harm anyone. Speaking from a hooman bean who is 5"2, tall peeps can sometimes appear spooky but this movie has expressed to me in the most delightful of ways that when it is Christmas, everyone is welcome. And pancakes with everything on them are amazing. That is all. Goodnight, farewell. :)

This is on my all time favourite list. I love that movie. Buddy is an elf and he is looking for his father. He was always a bit different. He was raised by elves an a human. As soon as he finds his father, he wants to gain his love and affection. He does hilarious things to achieve that.Buddy is clumsy and very charming in its own special way and you can 't avoid to like him. The story is quite simple but I never get bored to watch that movie. I have been doing this every year since I was a teenager. No Christmas without Buddy the elf. It is something you can watch with the family or on your own. The film covers romance in a charming way without overdoing it or getting cheesy. It is very funny without forcing it too much. I am not a big fan of Romance or Comedy but this lovely movie gem has all going for it. You get the Christmas spirit and what's really important packed in a wonderful and entertaining film. I strongly recommend to watch it. Hopefully you will love it as much as I do.

Buddy is a human who has been raised as one of Santa's elves. One day Buddy sets off to New York to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs. New York is a whole new experience for Buddy...Reasonably entertaining Christmas movie. Plot is mostly unoriginal, predictable and trite. However, doesn't take itself too seriously. Moves along briskly and is quite funny at times. Kids will love it, but adults might find it so-so.Will Ferrell is good in the lead role - was a perfect casting for the role. Good support from James Caan, Edward Asner, Mary Steenburgen and the gorgeous Zooey Deschanel.
