Anybody see the Elf movie yet?
I know it just came out yesterday. I really want to see it, but I'm still throwing up so I'm going to have to wait until that stops.

A preview-
Will Ferrell to Department Store Santa: "You sit on a throne of lies."

BWAH!

2. "I like to whisper too!"
I am not really a fan of Will Fe(a?)rrell, but this movie looks HILARIOUS!

Ah, but I've still not seen Kill Bill, Mystic River, or a few other movies, LOL.

3. My Daughter Saw it After Being Excluded from the Matrix
and thought it was sort of good.

I heard a review on NPR that was sort of good also.

4. I vowed never to see another movie with Will Ferrell in it.
The guy is probably the most over-rated actor working today.

5. ...then you can see it and start throwing up again !
Sorry, that was just the first thing that popped into my mind. I find it hard to get past Ferrel's lame sketches on SNL (wasn't he the cheerleader guy?)

6. I love Will Ferrell.
I didn't love the cheerleader sketches, but he had some others that were classics.

"I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!"
"Why are you such a liar?"

Okay, maybe you had to be there.

Anyway, I try to see every movie he's in, even the sucky ones like Zoolander, because even if the movie sucks, he's always funny.

7. I agree that Will Ferrell is great--the only good thing about Zoolander
But Elf really looks bad.

9. Eehh, it was so-so
My coworkers and I got free passes to see a pre-release of it a couple days ago, and it was ok. The first 1/2 was good, but after that we all felt it kinda headed downward. The ended was pretty cheesy, I thought. I'd go see it if it were playing at the cheap seats, but I wouldn't waste $7 at the regular theater. It seems like a movie more well-suited for children than anyone past their mid-teens.
