All I can say is avoid "Four Christmases" at all costs...my husband and I saw it after hype from friends and we were very disappointed. It was sooooo disjointed and meandering.
"Elf" is a Christmas tradition in our house now, my boys, 10 and 7 , and my daughter, 4.5, love this movie.
And finally, Kit Kittredge, ( sp?) the American Girl movie, was one the 4 of us ( minus my husband ) thoroughly enjoyed. Grinity, I can say that there were no embarassing parts, there was some history portrayed that was relevent to today, and it was a very well done movie.
