Funny movie but... Could we keep our opinions to ourselves about jesus and creationism? Not all of us want to hear it. We all come from different cultures and beliefs. Try respecting that. Also "Santa Claus" is not real. A man named Saint Nicholas existed in 4th century Greece however I doubt he took part in any reindeer games or skipped town for the North Pole once a year.

Google Play: The Grinch that took my gift Got an E-mail from Google Play before Christmas telling me they were giving me a free download of the movie: Elf. Tried several times to download it but, wasn't able. After Christmas decided to try again only have one option now. Can't download can only watch it but, wrong again! Google Play won't let me do that! All I get is a fuzzy grey screen. Can't watch "My Christmas Gift" how mean is that to promise someone a gift and not give it too them???

This sucks!!! They offer this free but fail to supply the code. How lame. I understand that the SD version is free. Not without the required gift code that wasn't provided. I went to a lot of trouble setting up an account for nothing. Again, how lame is that. I guess there is no free lunch AND you only get what you pay for regardless of the offers. I'll be sending all future offers to my spam section. I'm not soliciting for unsubstantiated offers now or for the rest of my life. How dare you advertise to us like that? By the way, the movie itself is first rate. Comedy to die for and human interest as well as a great Christmas story, sure to become a long-term classic. The rating is for the google plus offer that was not supported by this site.

Do Google Hate British People? Why can't we enjoy free elf in the UK Google? Sort out this blatant favouritism or else you'll be struck off my Christmas card list... You've been warned! (P.s, Merry Xmas everyone).

BS..... I have a email says gift elf to own.... click. So i do and well now it says pay one amount for hd and another amount for sd. Yet again people lie to get everyone to click on it. Again i state BS. U should all burn in hell. But it is a great movie. Just had my time waited and now these emails will all be marked as spam. Good job guys on lossing me as a potential customer i hate lies

My wife _LOVES_ Christmas and all of the Christmas movies, so we end up watching several of them over and over every December. I really like Bob Newhart, James Caan and Zooey Deschanel, but Will Ferrell was super annoying. Peter Dinklage makes a brief appearance as well and is splendid once again. I felt like strangling Buddy for most of the movie, though I did like his Christmas display he made. There are some decent quotes, and Deschanel has a nice singing voice, so there is at least something look forward to, but it's not something I would choose to watch myself.

Christmas Classic for Entire Family If you are stressed out because of the holiday hoopla, watching Elf is the perfect way to unwind and enjoy some Christmas cheer. Elf is perfect movie for the whole family. Will Ferrell plays a hopelessly naive and over zealous Elf who journeys to NYC in search of his biological father played by straight faced James Caan. You will bust a gut in this laugh out loud Christmas comedy.

Bad Review This offer is not free - there is nothing free about it, so if you think your getting a deal "just move on a little farther down the line". What Google considers free is very confusing. This is not a one star review.

Pathetic! Will Ferrell couldn't act his way out of a paper bag if he had a map in one hand and a GPS in the other. Never liked him or his movies.

Elf is the most hilarious movie I have ever sc Elf is the most hilarious movie I've ever seen! I really think you should watch it! It is about a baby human who Santa takes from an orphanage on Christmas Eve. He thinks he is a real elf, but he finds out at he is a human and goes to new york to find his real dad. He tried many times to see his dad at his work but his dad doesn't know that he was born. So he thinks he's crazy! It is so hilarious! Trust me!

Youtube the bouncer So, to watch this movie, I must "sign in" to Youtube using my original account, rather than the separate one I use there. Google can't follow one level of indirection? Ugh.

Google Rip Off Google sends out a "complimentary" copy of a movie but will not let you download it unless you add a credit card. RIP OFF!!! Would give MINUS stars if I could.

Lame & not funny This movie was clearly an attempt to cash in on Xmas $'s when it was released. The comedy in it isn't even funny. At least I got to watch it for free on here. I would be upset if I paid to watch this.

Free? How? Unless I'm supposed to buy this and hope it gets credited properly, I don't see how this is free. I would like more information please!

Greatest Will Ferrel movie besides Land of the Lost. This movie is hilarious. I like Will Ferrel as an actor and comedian. One user claimed that Will Ferrel said hateful things about people that didn't have the same political views. I googled it and found nothing regarding hate. The only thing I don't like about Will Ferrel is that he will do a sequal to the worst movie he had a role in, but won't do sequals for the good movies he was in. Maybe the sequal is because it was so very bad the first time?

Another lie being spread This movie, along with so many others, promotes the first lie parents tell their children: Santa is real. Santa cannot be real and it easily proven. When my parents revealed the truth to me, my four year old self felt so betrayed and appalled at their hypocrisy. Movies like this only help parents lie to children. I refuse to spread the lie.

Bad I wanted ELF free, as advertised. Very upset the download requires a code that was not included in the ad. Don't like this trickery!

Thanks Google... Yet another unexpected, but grateful bonus of being a member of the Goole'verse. :-) Not a big Will Ferrel fan. However, of all his movies, this is the 2nd least objectionable. His best, IMHO, was "Stranger Than Fiction". While this was a complete, and welcome surprise from Google; if you're considering more offerings, I might humbly suggest some Christmas classics - "Miracle on 34th Street," "It's A Wonderful Life" or the NOT so classic, but beautiful when showing off Chrome Cast - "Polar Express" Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!!

I LOVE this movie This is my "Christmas Story". I got sick on our way to see this in theater, so I didn't get to see it. The following year, when it came out, I got sick again, and this was the only movie that cheered me up. SANTA!!!!!!

Gives you the "warm fuzzies"! This movie's plot is downright sweet, and keeps childhood dreams intact. You don't just have to be a Will Ferrel fan to enjoy this either- it's good clean fun for all ages. I watch this every Christmas, and its positive message never gets old. For people who might be hesitant due to the possibility of "religious connotations" in "Christmas" movies... don't be for this one. It's neutral. It just refers to a generalized "Santa" (no "Saint"), elves, decorated conifers, and "holiday" cheer. Just a feel good movie all around!

Would give 5 stars because Bob Newhart is in it But I am knocking a star off because of Will Feral. At least he is not super annoying in this one.

Silly and Festive love this movie; it's pretty ridiculous but everyone can use a little ridiculous every now and again. It keeps us grounded. I don't know why some people had trouble with the free download, I didn't need any code to download. I just selected SD download and it worked immediately. Thanks Google! :)

Well that could have turned out better! I got the free SD version because I wanted that on my phone, but then it won't let me get the HD version for the tablet. So that $4.99 upgrade "for a limited time" requires that you DON'T already have the SD version. Where's the "upgrade" button, Google? :( The movie itself gets 5 stars. The inability to play it like I want gets 1.

It's Silly This movie is great for kids and for the most part enjoyable by adults. It is amazing compared to some of the the horrors such as Ernest Saves Christmas. It does have slow points where you just want tell the film to move along, but otherwise the plot is good and the acting is pretty on the ball. I see this living up better than some of the other supposed "classics" for Christmas. I recommend it to anyone in need of a laugh and a boost in holiday cheer.

It's a laugh out loud funny I remember watching this movie with my sister when we were younger all the time every Christmas we would laugh all the time who would imagine about 7 years later that were still laughing about this

How could you not love this!!! It has so much heart. Also syrup is my favorite food group too;)

ELF!! I have Loved this movie "ELF" with Will Ferral since it 1st came out all those years ago! It still makes me laugh out loud or LOL historically Every time I watch it! I Love this movie SOOOO MUCH that I just Have to watch it 4 times a day. 1 time Before I leave for work, at work I listen to it through my ear buds n 2 x's after work. Weekends I watch it Over n Over again! I'm not Joking..I Just Love Love Love Will Ferral and Elf!

It's Will Ferrell This is not his best film but if you think Will Ferrell is funny you're probably going to like this film but not love it. "Elf" is a funny holiday film.

Free Movie?? Not really!! If its free why do I have to give my credit card info? I guess I won't get it for free!!! Oh well another scam!!

Stop complaining it's not HD Ok people stop complaining that they are giving away a free SD movie that if you went to Walmart would cost u at least 5 bucks in the value bin for same resolution. 5 bucks thru Google and u get the HD version. Don't complain about a handout, they didn't have to even offer the SD version for free. But anyways I love the movie, makes my daughter laugh every time.

Laugh out loud This is my happy Christmas movie. It always makes me laugh and smile

Ruined by Farrell Funny movie but hard to enjoy since Farrell is such a despicable human being. Try Googling the hateful things he has said and continues to say about those that he disagrees with politically.

Great Movie! Cool free elf. Too bad I can't have the elf clean and decorate the house before the family shows up for the big day!

I laugh every.. Single time I see this movie. Will Ferrell at his best! The burp scene kills me!!!

Christmas Chuckles All Around Will Ferrell portrays a human found in the north pole with no sense of the real world. When in search for his father in the big apple he stumbles soon a mall and gets a "job". I recomend this movie if you enjoy a laugh with a holiday twist.

Best holiday movie yet! His childish preformence made him hilarious! This Will Ferrell is the type that would make your day. :-)

Love it This is one of my favorite christmas movies. Its hilarious. My family and I watch it every year. It will keep both kids and adults entertained. Mostly good, clean humour. One or two inappropriate comments (after all, Will Ferrel stars in this movie); but they were flybys smaller children won't understand. So I would give this movie 4 stars for watching with your family.

Good movie but lame opportunity I received an email saying I could get this movie free for a limited time BUT does not say for how long it is limited and wouldn't let me download for free LIKE THE EMAIL SAID. Way to go google play just lost a customer for life!

Funny! This movie is in my top ten! It's so goofy funny, I love it! When I saw the previews for this movie I thought it looked stupid. I ended up watching it on cable one day and it rocked! I have clips from this movie as my ringtones.

It won't let you purchase the HD version... First, the movie is a classic and great! I also applaud Google for the timely offer! Scroogle, however won't let you upgrade and let you purchase the HD version after you have "purchased" the SD version - even if you uninstall it... Pretty sad and disappointing that they can't get something as simple as that right. Merry Christmas!
