AV Club

The cast wrings laughs out of David Berenbaum's script as if it were a damp washcloth, but even they have trouble selling frenetic button-pushing as the Christmas spirit.

Elf is a Christmas comedy that's as sweet-natured and goofily amusing as its title character.

London Evening Standard

While his plotting may leave a little to be desired, Favreau directs with speed, humour and efficiency.

Sure, Elf feels a little too feel-good at the end, but what do you expect? It's a Christmas movie! Anything else would be the cinematic equivalent of finding coal in your stocking.

It was all very simple, but enough to remind me just what a generous and talented performer Will Ferrell truly is.

Time Out

Some humour might sail over the heads of the very young, but there's a higher chuckle rate for the grown-ups than much dread 'family' fare.

Will Ferrell has the ability to turn those wide eyes and that big body into a potent comic weapon, so Elf gets a good number of laughs from his complete, innocent abandonment to his role as a lummox-size elf.

A disarmingly funny holiday comedy.

Chicago Reader

The film soon bogs down in fake hugs and a fakier climax involving Santa (Ed Asner) and his downed sled.

Raise a glass of cheer to Ferrell and Favreau. They might not have created a full-scale holiday classic here, but they've certainly given us a fresh, sparkly new bauble to hang on our perennial tree.

Newsweek

Ferrell is a hoot. So is much of this witty holiday family entertainment, which, up until the end, when the "true spirit of Christmas" must be reaffirmed, happily favors slapstick over treacle.
