The film grain goes from incredibly light to nearly non existent in some shots, and I understand WB is good at managing film grain (the shining, 2001, clockwork orange, wizard of Oz, etc), but at least those other WB transfers had SOME grain, albeit subtle grain. Buddy moves in with Walter and his family, and proceeds to teach them a lesson or two about what being a family really means. Mary Steenburgen, Edward Asner (who we also lost just a little over a year ago), Peter Dinklage, Amy Sedaris, Michael Lerner, and Andy Richter lend the picture additional zip, but looming high above them all is the incomparable Bob Newhart, who brings his patented brand of dry, sardonic wit to the proceedings.

Je regarde beaucoup de films en VO sans souci, mais pour un film familial à voir avec des enfants ce n’est pas possible.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). As it stands, fans won’t find much to complain about, but audiophiles will wish the track had as much seasonal punch as the film’s best gags. I do wish Ferrell’s track was funnier and that both men sat down together to record a single, chattier track, but the existing commentaries add quite a bit of value to the Blu-ray’s supplemental package. but for an actor who’s been criticized for playing the same character in every film, Ferrell continues to surprise me again and again.

Adults won’t get much out of these features unless they have their arm around a son or a daughter, but my kid (and, as a direct result, me as well) enjoyed every sugar-coated minute. Papa Elf tells Buddy who his real mother and father are, explains his mother death, and his father's current location. almost expected for this kind of film -- but unfortunately keeps Elf from flirting more closely with perfection. In a misguided attempt to lighten the mood at work, I decided to bring Elf Blu-ray for a movie night with my boss and colleagues. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.Though better known for raunchy humor in the Ron Burgundy vein, he fully embraces Buddy's wide-eyed innocence, genial nature, and limitless capacity for love.

Fast Track Frivolity Makes Elf Even More Festive As Glimpses of the Movie's Magical Making Pop Up While You Watch the Movie. Will Ferrell makes yet another memorable splash on the big screen in Jon Favreau's sweet and hilarious Christmas fable.

His deadpan facial expressions and droll line deliveries raise the laugh quotient exponentially and set the madcap tone of Elf, which wouldn't be nearly as memorable without his participation. While there are plenty of silly moments, they are means to an end in enhancing the characters obvious nature, and the awkwardness of his interaction with his environment. Not only is the palette strong and steady, contrast is spot on, and black levels are deep (albeit uneven at times). Warner’s TrueHD mix is true to its source, but underwhelming when compared to other high-def releases on the market. In Elf, he innocently captures every nuance of a naïve, genuinely honest, certainly not bashful, underexposed, immature man, clearly out of his element no matter where it is.

Deleted/Alternate Scenes (SD, 12 minutes) -- Eight cuts and extensions don’t amount to much material, but it’s an amusing collection that will give fans a few additional laughs. Focus Points (SD) -- This interactive feature provides access to brief featurette clips and behind-the-scenes info any time an icon appears on screen. Audio Commentaries -- First up are a pair of informative audio commentaries, one with director Jon Favreau and a second with actor Will Ferrell. While newcomers should probably test the waters before diving in, I can’t help but recommend ‘Elf’ this Christmas season. While I was disappointed to find that the features are merely presented in standard definition, the supplemental package is quite extensive and loaded with content for adults and kids alike.There’s some mystery behind it, but I’m hoping more professional reviews can help me out with my conclusions. Once there, Buddy struggles to fit in in the Big Apple and finds himself in all sorts of scrapes as he tries his best to spread Christmas cheer wherever he goes. With all the reds, greens, and golds on display and all the falling snow, holiday movies are a natural for 4K UHD, and Warner's eye-popping rendering of Elf serves up a potent Christmas cocktail that intoxicates the senses. Once the disc is inserted into the player, the static menu with music and dialogue immediately pops up; no previews or promos precede it. Based on the information Papa Elf has given him, Buddy heads for the Empire State Building where he asks for his father's office.
