Jessie and the Elf Boy

Myself and my hubby absolutely loved this heart felt film set in our beautiful Scotland. Jessie and the Elf Boy hit all the points I enjoy in a film of this genre - magical suspense, longing, humour, cinematic views of a beautiful countryside and characters that I was rooting for.

The magical forest start to the film projected vibes reminding me of maleficent and hobbiton which I loved. Both main characters are extremely likeable. I particularly enjoyed following how this mysterious magical Elf Boy was going to interact with the modern world in a Scottish city.

A film to be enjoyed by children and young people in addition to adults who are looking for a heart warming story with laugh out loud moments.

A re watchable film to be enjoyed by all the family!

There is something about Disney movies these days which leaves me feeling dissatisfied. They seem to have lost an essence of innocence and care-free nature that I so enjoyed as a child. For me, this film recaptures that spirit - it is by no means perfect (difficult to do without the extraordinary budget of Hollywood films), but it is a wholesome movie with a heart and soul.

Slightly slow start, but once the film gets going you are drawn into a magical yet modern day story filled with a variety of characters and a captivating plot. Although potentially aimed at a younger audience, the content can definitely be enjoyed by all ages and has a high 're-watchable' value.

This is the only film in the last 4 years that I was genuinely disappointed when my was interrupted by my toddler needing my attention.

Films don't normally capture my attention these days, but Jessie and the Elf Boy had me gripped.

This film reminded me of Ratatouille which is probably one reason I liked it so much as I love that film.

It is a very well made film given the low budget. The plot is easy to follow but there are also a few twists that keep you engaged. The child actors are also pretty good.

It is definitely a family film and I think it would be a good film to watch around Christmas time especially with the whole family together.
