seriously.

if you like “Elf”, its pretty much the same story, except here its a mockery of Disney cliches – yet at the same time it celebrates them as well. Like Elf though, there are cheesy touchy feely parts, but with the story they’re telling and they audience they have in mind its completely forgivable. Its the smartest live action children’s film in a long time. You know, it even resembles a Muppet movie in a lot of ways.

I could have done without the few moments they decided to use Carrie Underwood/Vanessa Carlton type songs while things were happening, as that sort of thing is actually many steps below what the film was doing – it should have relied on score.

But yeah, I’d recommend this to anyone who can put up with childrens films, and even though yes its definitely more weighted towards girls, its completely watchable for any sex/any age. The two very sarcastic jaded twenty somethings I came with also had a blast.
