I finally saw Elf this year, and I was surprised how much I liked it. I saw it because Bob Newhart is in it, but it's a really sweet movie. I don't care for Will Ferrell in maximum gross-out comedy mode, but he's really engaging as a flat, cheerful, ignorant, sincere child. Which sounds harsh, but I mean it in a good way. I'm often at my funniest when I play ignorant.
I especially enjoy the performance of Peter Dinklage, who was awesome in The Station Agent. So cool that in a movie all about elves, all the elves are played by average height people with camera effects, and the one dwarf cast plays the most powerful person in the movie. Except Santa.
Everybody else has probably already seen the movie, but I recommend it.
