Will Ferrell looking surprised and angry in elf costume in the movie Elf
Elf is a near-perfect Christmas movie that demands an annual viewing around the holiday season — but there’s one specific way that the film has aged poorly. On paper, Elf sounds like a terrible idea that shouldn’t work. A grown man wandering around New York in an elf costume sounds more like nightmare fuel than the premise for a heartwarming yuletide classic.
Elf's Worst Aspect Is Its Romance Storyline The Whole Love Story Is Inherently Creepy Close ✕ Remove Ads Buddy’s reconciliation with the father that abandoned him, his bonding with the brother he never knew, and his discovery of the ups and downs of a life outside the North Pole all work as funny, moving, engaging storylines in Elf. But there’s one storyline that doesn’t work so well: the romance between Buddy and Jovie, played by Zooey Deschanel.
Posts ✕ Remove Ads There’s something inherently creepy about the way Buddy and Jovie’s romance comes together. Their supposed meet-cute is when he sneaks into the bathroom while she’s taking a shower. And even after they’ve gotten over that transgression, Buddy’s childish whimsy undercuts some of their romantic moments.
