TheFerbguy's 28 Days of Christmas Day 25

I going to update this further on, but for the moment. Here's today's film...

Elf.

A funny Will Ferrell movie before I even knew him.

He plays the role of Buddy that one night want into Santa's bag and lived for 30 years in the north pole. He later finds out about his father and decides to trek into New York where all of the hyjinks ensue.

This movie was funny from the start to the finish and even Will brings a lot of humor to the role when it comes to learning what its like to be human.

I give this 4 plates of spaghetti with maple syrup.

Next, we are looking at movies based on specials that were remade for a new generation.

First, The Grinch.

Many people has considered that they find the movie to be a guilty pleasure and... I can see where they go from here. Again, this movie airs every year on ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas Marathon. so what is the point of me explaining the plot if you saw it on ABC Family? Well, I like to explain things most of the time.

The Grinch (played by Jim Carrey) is a grump who doesn't like Whoville and Christmas is  out to make the town feel crabby about Christmas. Imagine the original book and short I reviewed a while back and added an hour and five minutes to the length.

When I was a Child, I found the movie to be okay and the opinion has long changed with every viewing. Jim does a good job in the role and also being one with the makeup and costume when he is preforming. Though, most of the people that had upper lips most of the time looked like demon possessed Hungry Hungry Hippos.

The rating I give 3 and a half dogs with an antler tied to their heads.

Now finally before I give this a Rest,

A remake based on the Rankin/Bass Special that came in 1998.

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer The Movie.

I'll do a little comparison with the special later on. So, here the story.

Rudolph is born with a red nose as most try to get use to this situation. a subplot is revealed that two of Santa's elves accidentally crash into Stormella's statues and Santa is forced not to use her bridge because if they do, she'll bury the North Pole in the biggest storm she has no control of.

A lot of things are completely different when it comes to story and characters.

For instance,
Rudolph's father in this is Blitzen when in the special it's Donner
Their is no elf wanting to be a dentist or the island of misfit toys, instead we got Slyly and Leonard (played by Eric Idle and Bob Newheart)
and like I mentioned in my review I did a year ago, Their are four voice actor who would later on go and play the roles in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.

For many people they find this better than the sequel that came out three year later and I can agree with them that the sequel is garbage.

For this movie, I give it 4 wands coming out of in between of boobs (It happens in the movie.)

This can be seen on YouTube for all you people that can't find a copy of the movie.

Tune in Tomorrow as we watch a film from a legendary writer.
