even the blooper be bore . these movie show that tim allen 15 minute of fame be over . it seem that for my review to be accept at imdb i must have at least 10 line . that very difficult for a movie that offer nothing . the child play the elf have outgrow their cuteness even the doctor who co star in bonnie hunt show a few season back . the fact that ann margret come out of retirement for this be quite amazing ( amaze a in why pick this sink vessel ) . at least martin short be have fun in the scene they share . for once a hollywood movie try to cash in on the fact that canadian make for a big part of their revenue in regard to movie receipt . but the only thing miss to make it stereotypical be for the adult to fall in a container of maple syrup . avoid at all cost .
