Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The divergent marketing concerns of many a modern Hollywood film have increasingly led to the issuing of individual song-scores and traditional orchestral soundtracks for the same film, releases that sometimes seem completely at artistic cross-purposes. John Debney's effervescent score for Jon Favreau's loopy Christmas fantasy is a happy exception. Perfectly complementing a song-score that leans on Favreau's decidedly hipster retro-lounge affections, Debney has concocted playful orchestral cues that careen with the same buoyant sense of innocent abandon as Will Ferrell's star-crossed title character. The composer's swinging "Christmas Medley" here wouldn't seem at all out of place on its song-score companion piece, while his musical portrayal of the Elves and their magic holiday world is dominated by a whistling chorus that's just ever so-slightly off. It's instrumental holiday music fueled by a refreshing sense of fun - and a little contemporary, ironic sass. --Jerry McCulley

It takes a pretty deft touch to make us believe towering Will Ferrell as a displaced human cum Santa's elf, Ed Asner as St. Nick and make a Christmas movie that's as loopy/sassy as it is seasonally sentimental. Yet that's what director Jon Favreau has done with this unlikely little holiday gem, and his hand-picked song score underscores its warm heart and comedic smarts with charm to burn. Suffused with a New York sense of traditional cool, Favreau turns his soundtrack into an upbeat secular Christmas classic, a sort of Swingers-Meet-Santa collection that convinces us that performances as diverse as Louis Prima's rousing take on "Pennies From Heaven" and the pumping soul of Billy Preston's "Nothing From Nothing" are as season-friendly as the performances of more traditional Christmas pop fare by Ella Fitzgerald, Jim Reeves, Eartha Kitt and Eddy Arnold they bookend. The edited Ferrante & Teicher/Les Baxter medley is a lounge-y inspiration, while a trio of laconic Leon Redbone crooners anchor the film's dizzy, if often bittersweet emotional foundations. Co-star Zooey Deschanel duets with Redbone on "Baby It's Cold Outside," her bluesy performance a welcome surprise that recalls nothing less than a young Peggy Lee. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

Blah Humbug, thought i was getting Zooey.......2003-12-24
Absolutely enchanting!.......2003-12-09
ELF is a must-own for anyone with a heart and an ear for lovely music. It's a wonderfully sweet score that's light as a feather, cheering and never cloying. And while it's guaranteed to move you in the Christmas spirit, it's also a CD guaranteed to bring tears of joy all year round. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the lighthearted style of a musical fairy tale!
Boring score - Buy the soundtrack record instead!.......2003-11-18
Great movie - great soundtrack!.......2003-11-12
