I'd hit my Will Farrell saturation point when this came out (it didn't take long) and now have an extremely low tolerance for him at his schtickiest. That said, I've actually been curious about this ever since Zooey Deschanel hit my radar, which was not long <i>after</i> this came out; plus, it has Bob Newhart. Maybe this is the year I finally check out <i>Elf</i>.<br /><br />VW: <i>cardosm</i> — When you enjoy shuffling a little too much.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-3526114261407761772010-12-17T10:07:32.684-06:002010-12-17T10:07:32.684-06:00@Hannah: I don't know why it took me so long t...@Hannah: <i>I don't know why it took me so long to watch it.</i><br /><br />I don't know either...Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-11097828435212508372010-12-16T12:31:46.604-06:002010-12-16T12:31:46.604-06:00@Sarah, just reading that I could hear it in my he...@Sarah, just reading that I could hear it in my head and I LOL'd. For serious.<br /><br />I love this movie for reals! I don't know why it took me so long to watch it. I think I watched it five times last year.
