"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

Hollywood, it would appear, is determined to inundate movie-goers with at least one holiday-style motion picture at Christmastime every year. These festive movies are intended to be warm and heartfelt, and are designed to lift our spirits, but only very few will end up making the hall of fame. Films such as Na... read more

For the past 4 Christmas's in a row, this has been on TV and every time I have missed it. I would have watched it even if it wasn't Christmas but it didn't really feel right. When it was on TV, I decided to watch it. I didn't really have high expectations for it since I am not really a big fan of Will Ferrell and have hated 2 films he has been in previously. I was surprised at it to be honest beca... read more

You might find him terribly annoying and not funny at all but you can’t argue that Will Ferrell is one of the most successful and recognizable comedian of the last decade. Personally, I have some mixed feelings about him. Indeed, he can be sometimes downright hilarious but he keeps playing over and over the same characters and it is getting less and less entertaining and more and more obnoxious.... read more

Description: Buddy (Will Ferrell) was a baby in an orphanage who stowed away in Santa's sack and ended up at the North Pole. Later, as an adult human who happened to be raised by elves, Santa allows him to go to New York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs (James Caan). Hobbs, on Santa's naughty list for being a heartless jerk, had no idea ... (more)

Movies my daughter watched multiple times - 2012 (27 movies items)

" Wasn't sure how well this would go over, but as it turned out it was the first live action film without muppets that she enjoyed (ah, but there is a little animation, eh?). We watched it when we put up our Christmas decorations around the house, and the next day she asked to watch it again. She loves the theme music & has a tendency to randomly sing modified versions of the song Buddy sings when he first meets his dad. :)"

Santa Claus in Movies: The Naughty & Nice (15 movies items)

" Edward Asner, "Elf." While mainly the story of a man raised as one of Santa's elves (Will Ferrell) tracking down his birth father, you can't have Santa's elves without Santa. Edward Asner quietly embodies all things Santa, especially in contrast with the ersatz department store version with whom Ferrell humorously brawls."

10 Movies: I Never Want To See (10 movies items)

"Isn't the fact that Will Ferrell is in the movie enough? For me it is. Again, I've seen previews. The guy is simply not funny to me and worse, he's annoying as hell. There are far too many Christmas movies out there that are good or even great for me to waste my time."

"Re-watch - Dec. 2nd Review by PvtCaboose91 Our family tradition is to watch this while decorating for Christmas. As excited as my daughter is for the holiday this year, I decided the first weekend of the month was the perfect time to do that. And I got to watch one of my favorite Christmas movies too. :)"
