Elf

Post by Kris Doyle »

I think Elf is the funniest movie I've ever seen! :hilarious: <(That's an exaggerated picture of me watching it.) But some people think it's just stupid. ](*,) <(That's an exaggerated picture of them watching it.) What do you think about it?

I thought it was funny the first few times I watched it! I think it's a once-a-year movie for me... Watch it once at Christmas time and then wait a year. :yes:

I'm afraid I thought it was quite "dumb" and was vastly dissapointed :(

I enjoyed it, though it will get me to laugh more if you wait several months inbetween viewings.

I thought it was pretty dumb. But then, I don't like Will Farrel, so that might be part of it. ](*,) :bang:

*presses all of the buttons in the elevator* Hey look! It looks like a Christmas Tree!

I loved that movie. Ok, I liked it. It was really good. Will Ferrell always makes me laugh... He did another movie called Kicking and Screaming that was the same type of humor. I thought that was good too, but I'm going off topic. XD

Over all, I really liked it. :D

I absolutely loved it. After watching it I wished I had seen it in theatres. That's the first movie that really got me into Will Ferrell. Now he's my fave actor!

Oh, how weird.

At youth group last night, we watched elf. O.O I wished that there could have been someone from the ToO there. :P It was just so weird, because I had been talking about how much I loved that movie a few hours before.

Do you mean literally (is he a queer)? Or are you using a figure of speech? I'm not too familiar with Will Farrel, if you can't tell. :anxious:

My mom and I watched that movie when it first came out.. She absolutely hated it and said it was stupid. I thought it was a bit cute. Not something I'd watch again, but it wasn't horrible. :)

It was extremely stupid, but that's what made it funny! I liked it but I'll admit it was prettty dumb.

I feel the need to bump this topic to denounce all of these long-gone Elf haters. :x

LOLZ this was posted like a couple weeks before we met. And this is a lie because we watch it every Christmas season. :noway:
