We'd never seen Elf, which is't quite up there with "I've never seen Citizen Kane"*, but still, we like holiday movies and so we fixed that gap this holiday season.
Charming and silly. Or, silly and charming. I'm still not sure I believe James Caan's transformation (I'm not really even sure I'd believe that that guy would bail Buddy in the first place, before the paternity test, but I guess I'm cynical).
FuzzyCo grade: A-
* I have seen Citizen Kane.**
** I have, though, only seen 50 of the AFI 100, so there's a full 50% chance that some movie you think is great I haven't seen. Oh, Rocky. I haven't seen Rocky. Who hasn't seen Rocky? The guy with the thumbs, that's who.

Fun bit of Elf trivia...I saw this in the theater with Dallas and my wife...and one our way to the theater, we ran into you on Michigan Avenue. True story.
