Elf - 2

This movie is not a comedy. Now that may seem odd, but my definition of a comedy is that the story is funny. For example, Bruce Almighty is a funny story with funny characters. Elf on the other had is a formulaic story with a funny actor, Will Farrell. It is humorous to watch Will Farrell, and I think that he is funny, but the story is outrageous and not creative. Finally, it also portrays the message that faith is by sight only, faith is merely a from of empirical knowledge. They could have simply changed small parts of the story to transform it into what I would call a true comedy.
