Holiday treat, Delightful, Entertaining, Original

See it if you enjoy musical adaptations of movies purportedly for children, but for all ages...you want a special holiday treat for the whole family

Don't see it if clever, almost cutesy musicals aren't your thing or if you have a Scrooge bah-humbug attitude about Christmas holidays

Delightful, Entertaining, Great acting, Great writing, Hilarious

See it if you think you can wrap your head around Elf without Will Ferrell, you have to take kids to a show, you loved or haven't seen the movie.

Don't see it if you want a deep think, you're offended by actors playing elves by dancing on their knees.

Cute, Family friendly, Festive, Funny

See it if you're looking for a holiday-related activity that's good for all ages; or if you're a big fan of the movie.

Don't see it if you can't stand family shows, Christmas, or kids. This is like a carbon copy of the movie btw, for better or for worse.
