We went to the local theater today because we thought nothing else wouldbe open (grocery stores were) and saw Elf.  
There was nothing else there we liked,  
My son loved it.  
I thought it wasn’t bad at all,either.  
What you say?

My 10 year old daughter and I saw it in November. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was delightful. It will be a good Christmas movie to own on video some day.
