Elf-Man

A really bad Christmas movie about Elf who helps a family in trouble. The father is a scientist and has some kind of invention that some bad guys want to steal. The mother pf the family is dead but there is no explanation why or how, just so a there can be a love story involved. This is a real kids movie and not worth seeing for people over 12 years. The story is bad as so is the acting, there is hardly any Christmas feeling and some parts remind of Home Alone but much worse. Not worth wasting time away. Weeman should not quite his day job. Feels like all the actors re reading the lines. The only thing that is OK are the special effect but they look ridiculous in this movie.

First off- is this a serious movie? Nope. But it achieves what it sets out to do- which is a funny, ridiculous, and sometimes absurd holiday movie. The comedic timing is pretty good- Wee Man's acting isn't great (it works)- but the other cast members all have shining moments in the film that have the potential to make you laugh. It's more fun with a buddy- or kids. I watched with a pal- and we laughed throughout it. So if you're looking for something silly- watch this. PS- I love Jeffrey Combs- and he's zany fun in this. Totally commits to the role and it's awesome.

Elf man truly surpasses any movie I've ever watched. When I was forced into watching this five years ago, I had low expectations, but I never expected it to become my favorite movie. I haven't watched it in about five years, but as I remember, the actor playing Ryan was truly amazing. I hope he's doing big things now! I think I saw him in a Geico commercial a few years back. Impressive!

My granddaughter forced me to watch it.She finds it so bad she likes it.

To start with it seemed like a cheap version of "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" at Christmas. A neglectful inventor Father and his motherless children trying to enjoy the season and then these terribly acted Elves turned up and I turned it off.

I assume that some of these made for TV films are meant to be watched with the kids at the weekend. I certainly don't seem to be the target audience though and I love kids films. Give me a proper romance without all the nonsense and silliness or a well made children's story.

Unrated as unfinished.
