Big on laughs

I took a few days off, sort of a mini-vacation, this weekend, so I apologize for the lack of updates, and will be making up for it this week.

I'll start with the freshest thing on my mind, Elf. Will Ferrel has long been a comedic genius in search of the right film, and he's finally found it. Good Christmas movies are few and far between, especially ones that can stand the test of time, and Elf does just that.

The comedy holds up, and even the juvenile jokes come off innocently funny rather than disgustingly so. The message is simple, yet effective, and none of the unbelievables are that "unbelievable." Definitely a movie for the whole family, it will have you in stitches and begging for more.

Do yourself a favor and go see it.
