Title: Great for All Ages (a 4.4 on a scale of 1 to 5)
Product review: Oh what a fun movie for all ages. My mother (70 something) and I (40 something) saw it and laughed throughout the feature. Just the two of us...no kids...The story is adorable.This movie reminded me of two very different films: Miracle on 34th Street and Splash. Its emphasis on the purity of Christmas, on believing in Santa, on the excitement of Christmas in a NY department store recall Miracle on 34th street. Buddy's innocent travails through the New York landscape (e.g., waving to a man who is hailing a cab) are reminiscent of Splash.But the movie also has its own unique charm. Ferrell's performance is a delight. He conveys Buddy's sweetness without any saccharine. Zooey Deschanel as the Gimbel's elf is a revealation. She has a beautiful singing voice and a sly, tart acting style.I recommend this movie for individuals of all ages who enjoy broad, commercial comedies-with a Christmas twist.
