Elf a B+?

According to this review the critics gave Elf a B+. Elf featured Will Ferrell as the main character (Buddy) of this comedy. Buddy is actually a human that happens to crawl up into Santa Claus' toy sack. As Buddy grows older, he realizes that he doesn't belong with the other elves." Santa sends Buddy on quest to find his true father. Buddy finds himself in this new world which is Manhattan. The cultural barrier is too overwhelming for Buddy, but he makes the best of it. He really doesn't understand the background of Manhattan which makes this movie ten times more funnier. For instance, Buddy walks down the intersection thinking that it was normal and get hit by a taxi. That scene in particular was an A+ material. The scene was genius. As Buddy skips along a jolly Christmas song is played, but when he gets hit the music stops. All of a sudden he gets back up with a different camera angle. Then Buddy walks away like nothing happens. It was a good technique that they used. Even though it was a comedy the camera angles and the use of music was perfectly used. It wasn't only the great camera angles that made this movie so great. It was especially because the role that Will Ferrell rightfully suited the character. The script that was written was remarkable. According to the website http://www.hdfest.com/Annesreviews/elf_anne.html, they gave the movie straight A+. This includes the story, acting, visuals, and originality. In my opinion I would most definitely have to agree with these critics. According to movieeye.com, "may be too goofy for its own good." I would have to say that they have no idea what they are talking about. It is a comedy, it is supposed to be "goofy." Clearly movieeye.com has no idea what they are criticizing.
