It's not awful, but it falls short of belonging on the shelf with the other holiday movie mainstays.

The special effects, especially in a final battle against the villain's army of enchanted toys, are impressive, but the chaotic plot exhausts itself long before then.

Less-discerning audiences might be mollified by Elf Me’s silliness for a bit, but it’s far too derivative of other, better movies to wholeheartedly recommend.
