Elf review – Will Ferrell is still Santa’s biggest helper in Christmas comedy favourite

Ferrell brings manic energy to this tale of an oversized elf called Buddy and it’s still a charmer after 20 years

T wenty years on, this has become a canonical Christmas comedy favourite. A jovial seasonal treat, from director Jon Favreau and screenwriter David Berenbaum, Elf was reportedly inspired by Tom Hanks in Big, but took on a life of its own once Will Ferrell became involved, improvising many of his lines and endowing the whole thing with a more ironised manic energy. The film’s old-fashioned charm and sweet-natured Yuletide spirit has held up, although it interestingly seems attractive now more for these softer-edged qualities than for the straight-ahead SNL-type Will Ferrell comedy that it seemed to promise back in 2003, when Ferrell’s presence led us all to expect (and often get) something more vinegary and satirical, like Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa.

Ferrell plays the grotesquely huge elf called Buddy in his green coat and pointy hat, far bigger than all the other elves because, in fact, he is human; he was a poignantly unwanted orphan baby that crept into Santa’s present sack and was accidentally carried back to the North Pole as a stowaway. Santa (played by Ed Asner) had no choice but to employ him as one of his own little helpers, a job for which he is horribly unsuited; Bob Newhart is droll as the senior elf who volunteers to raise this very “special” elf child.

As a big maladroit adult, Buddy must make the journey of his life, right back to New York City to meet the dad who abandoned him and who now lives with a new family; this comprises grumpy, Scrooge-ish publisher Walter Hobbs, played by a harassed James Caan, his wife Emily (Mary Steenburgen) and teen son Michael (Daniel Tay). Buddy gets a job at a department store as a Christmas elf where he falls in love with the manic pixie dream template herself, Zooey Deschanel , as Jovie, who also has to dress as an elf.

after newsletter promotion

Ferrell plays Buddy with more innocence than I remember, rather underplaying the tacit “developmental challenge” gags of his persona, although he certainly goes for, and gets, big laughs as he becomes screamingly overexcited in the store at the thought of Santa’s imminent appearance and then enraged at the realisation that this “Santa” is a fake. And it is hilarious when poor innocent Buddy is delighted to meet Peter Dinklage’s character, whom he infuriates by calling an elf. There are some oddities as well, such as the strange “Central Park Rangers”, like the four horsemen of the apocalypse, who chase Santa and Buddy in the final scene in Central Park, embittered by being put on the naughty list. It’s always a post-lunch Christmas treat.

Elf Parent Guide

Some people stand out in a crowd -- like Buddy (Will Ferrell), the only human being at the North Pole. Accidentally brought home by Santa, the elves want to send the growing problem back to look for his real family.

The guide to our grades, parent movie review by rod gustafson.

Some people stand out in a crowd. For Buddy (Will Ferrell), being the only human at the North Pole is a towering problem. When he was a baby, Santa accidentally picked him up one night while delivering presents to an orphanage. Now he is a growing concern within the elf population at the workshop. Detecting his good heart and desire to learn just aren’t enough to make him an efficient toy builder (along with the fact he no longer fits the furniture), Buddy yearns for his real family.

Seeking advice from the head elf (Bob Newhart), Buddy learns his mother has passed away but his father, a workaholic children’s book publisher, is living in New York City. Setting off to uncover his past, he arrives in the Big Apple wearing his complete elf ensemble. After hunting Dad, Buddy also finds he has a step-mom (Mary Steenburgen) and a ten-year-old half-brother (Daniel Tay).

This lack of belief in Santa has left Mr. Claus (Edward Asner) looking for new ways to fuel his sleigh. Originally propelled by Christmas spirit, he’s resorted to a jet engine to give the reindeer the needed boost. Yet even that solution is having difficulties. With the Clausometer (the Christmas spirit gas gauge) reading empty and the jet running poorly, the whole shebang crash lands in Central Park on Christmas Eve.

This movie provides a nice mix of fun and frolic with only a skiff of content in all of our categories. Both Asner and Newhart fill their roles like the true professionals they are. The jolly man is loving but tough and focused on his job of getting those presents out each year. Likewise Newhart plays his typical role, trying awkwardly to explain to Buddy why his life must change. Primary to this movie’s success is Will Farrell’s convincing and funny performance—especially as he becomes accustomed to big city life.

Marketing the magic of Christmas to an increasingly cynical young audience is a tough challenge, but somehow Elf pulls it off quite well. Kids will love watching Buddy chow down on M&Ms, syrup, and a huge assortment of sugary condiments for breakfast. Teens will find the innocent elf’s stumbling through NYC humorous. And adults will yearn for the innocence they once had as children when this time of year truly did hold magical wonder. That combination will likely put Elf on the “Favorite Christmas Movies” shelf of many homes.

Having an orphan find their family is a very popular movie plot. Can you think of a few? Why do you think so many stories use this setup?

Does your family know of anyone who has recently moved into your area from a very different place? Although the culture shock Buddy went though while trying to fit into NYC life is an extreme example, do you know someone struggling with similar issues?

If I were to tell you "Elf" stars Will Ferrell as a human named Buddy who thinks he is an elf and Ed Asner as Santa Claus, would you feel an urgent desire to see this film? Neither did I. I thought it would be clunky, stupid and obvious, like " The Santa Clause 2 " or "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." It would have grotesque special effects and lumber about in the wreckage of holiday cheer, foisting upon us a chaste romance involving the only girl in America who doesn't know that a man who thinks he is an elf is by definition a pervert.

That's what I thought it would be. It took me about 10 seconds of seeing Will Ferrell in the elf costume to realize how very wrong I was. This is one of those rare Christmas comedies that has a heart, a brain and a wicked sense of humor, and it charms the socks right off the mantelpiece. Even the unexpected casting is on the money. James Caan as the elf's biological father. Yes! Bob Newhart as his adoptive elf father. Yes! Mary Steenburgen as Caan's wife, who welcomes an adult son into her family. Yes! Zooey Deschanel as the girl who works in a department store and falls for his elfin charm. Yes! Faizon Love as Santa's elf manager -- does it get any better than this? Yes, it does. Peter Dinklage , who played the dwarf in " The Station Agent ," has a brief but sublime scene in which he cuts right to the bottom line of elfhood.

"Elf," directed by Jon Favreau and written by David Berenbaum , begins with a tragic misunderstanding on a Christmas long ago. As Santa Claus is making his rounds, a human orphan crawls into his sack and accidentally hitches a ride to the North Pole. Raised as an elf by Papa Elf (Newhart), he knows he's at least four feet taller than most of the other elves, and eventually he decides to go to New York City and seek out his birth father.

This is Walter (Caan), a hard-bitten publisher whose heart does not instantly melt at the prospect of a 6-foot man in a green tunic and yellow stretch tights, who says he is his son. But when Buddy drops the name of Walter's long-lost girlfriend, a faraway look appears in the old man's eyes, and soon Buddy is invited home, where Mary Steenburgen proves she is the only actress in America who could welcome her husband's out-of-wedlock elf into her family and make us believe she means it.

The plot is pretty standard stuff, involving a crisis at the old man's publishing company and a need for a best-selling children's book, but there are sweet subplots involving Buddy's new little brother Michael (Daniel Tay), and Buddy's awkward but heartfelt little romance with the department store girl (Deschanel). Plus heart-tugging unfinished business at the North Pole.

Of course there's a big scene involving Buddy's confrontation with the department store Santa Claus, who (clever elf that he is) Buddy instantly spots as an imposter. "You sit on a throne of lies!" he tells this Santa.

Indeed the whole world has grown too cynical, which is why Santa is facing an energy crisis this year. His sleigh is powered by faith, and if enough people don't believe in Santa Claus, it can't fly. That leads to one of those scenes where a flying machine (in this case, oddly enough, the very sleigh we were just discussing) tries to fly and doesn't seem to be able to achieve takeoff velocity, and ... well, it would be a terrible thing if Santa were to go down in flames, so let's hope Buddy persuades enough people to believe. It should be easy. He convinced me that this was a good movie, and that's a miracle on 34th street right there.

Elf , which opens this weekend, is not your average family holiday movie. While it gives in to typical sentimentalism at the end, for most of its 95-minute running time it is a charming adrenaline rush of comedy. Watching it, I caught a glimpse of how Ron Howard's ill-conceived How the Grinch Stole Christmas might have been better. Elf does more with very little than the Grinch did with far too much.

Please note: This is not a Gospel-centered Christmas story. It takes place in the realm of traditional holiday myths about Santa, reindeer and elves, not the world of shepherds, Hallelujah choruses, and true salvation . While it's rather bland as storytelling goes, it remains clearly a fantasy, one that tells a formulaic tale about unconditional love, the value of childlike wonder, the importance of finding one's place in life, and the rewards of having faith in things unseen. The creativity and comedy in Elf give it enough life and laughs to earn it a recommendation.

When Buddy learns, finally, the reason that he stands out from the crowd, and discovers the explanation for his lack of elf-like talents, he sets off to find his real family. He arrives in New York and marches right into the office of his father, a Scrooge-like children's lit publisher (James Caan.) Needless to say, his arrival is not exactly welcomed, and the ensuing trials are traumatic for dear old Dad, baffling for the big "boy," and a laugh-riot for audiences.

The North Pole episodes are also a delight. Director John Favreau cleverly incorporates his human cast with the backdrops and puppets of those beloved Rankin-Bass Christmas television classics like Santa Claus Is Coming to Town and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer . Even the old snowman narrator, formerly voiced by Burl Ives, makes an appearance. This makes for a unique collage of environments, in which Favreau makes use of some of the same forced-perspective methods that Peter Jackson employed so well to make men tower over hobbits.

Parents may groan as their kids clamor for a trip to the shopping mall for yet another disposable Christmas matinee. But fortunately for families, Elf is anything but a bore. Its flimsy Scrooge-redemption story doesn't have the weight that it should, and the crisis that causes the film's frenzied finale feels more like a chore than an inspired resolution. But Ferrell makes this fun and frivolous film worthwhile.

Movieguide 's critic is disappointed. "This cute, funny Christmas comedy has, regrettably, no mention of the Christ of Christmas."

"If you're looking to get in the holiday spirit," writes Cliff Vaughn ( Ethics Daily ), "check out Elf . [It] hearkens back to classic Christmas films and manages to capture some of that magic. Elf delivers some genuine laughs and is diminutive only in name."

Michael Elliott ( Movie Parables ) calls it "a feel good holiday movie with charm to spare. Will Ferrell is perfectly cast as the ever cheerful, overly-excited, human elf. Even if a joke or gag is lacking, Ferrell's consistency in his characterization sells it to us and makes it work. It's a giddy performance. [The movie is] remarkably inoffensive in its content."

Bob Waliszewski ( Plugged In ) notes that "positive lessons about the importance of the family—especially bonding with a father—are underscored. Still, Elf is not as pure as the driven snow. Some mild language problems, a wink at inebriation and a complete avoidance of the season's Bethlehem roots mix some mud into it."

Apparently some critics really do wish this fantasy world where Santa lives still included the real-world details of Christ's birth. David DiCerto ( Catholic News Service ) issues a complaint: "Regrettably, while Elf is full of Christmas spirit, spirituality is noticeably absent. Searching for a Nativity or another even remotely religious symbol in the film's winter wonderland is like trying to find a wrapped gift in Whoville after the Grinch came to town."

This doesn't bother Holly McClure ( Crosswalk ), who exclaims, "I can't say enough good things about this movie! I consider this to be the perfect holiday present for the whole family! Give yourself the gift of Elf for Christmas and discover the simple pleasure of believing in the spirit of Christmas!"

"Whether or not you support the idea of Santa Claus at Christmas," says Chris Monroe ( Christian Spotlight ), "this film at least uses it to promote a clear biblical concept: faith. Overall Elf inspires us to think about what true goodness can do to affect even the most hardened people."

My review is at Looking Closer .

Regarding this week's box office champion, the smash hit holiday comedy Elf , Josh Hurst ( Rebel Base ) admits that it is "sappy" and "even absurd." But he concludes, " Elf has one thing going for it that no other Christmas flick can lay claim to: Will Ferrell. His enthusiasm is contagious, his delivery is absolutely flawless, and his verbal and physical humor mix with wide-eyed, childlike wonder to give us the most uproariously funny film of 2003."

Reviewed by: Chris Monroe STAFF WRITER

A s usual this year, Santa Claus is coming to town, but before he does, so is an innocent, six-foot three-inch tall, wide-eyed, loveable, pure-as-the-driven-snow Santa helper, whose gift is not a sleigh full of material goods but what people need even more this season: a dose of Christmas spirit. “Elf” delivers a fair amount of holiday cheer, along with a host of homages to tales from Christmas Past and a sack full of humor.

Raised by Papa Elf (Bob Newhart) and Santa Claus ( Edward Asner ), Buddy ( Will Ferrell ) leaves his family of elves at the North Pole and ventures into its antithesis—New York City—in search of his biological father, Walter Hobbs ( James Caan ). The contrast between these two settings, as well as between the trusting, child-like character of Buddy and the jaded, cynical businessman character of Walter, sets up most of the comedy for this fish-out-of-water scenario. The script is rooted in comedy and nearly every scene plays for a laugh, but eventually weaves into a well-rounded, family-friendly film that’s hoped to fit into the cannon of Christmas classics.

Director John Favreau (“Made,” “Swingers,” “ Rudy ”) has “taken a few clubs out of his bag” in order to make this film. Walter Hobb’s Scrooge-type character is the roughest around the edges, which shows in some of the language he uses. The film is rated PG for mild rude humor and language. Apart from father’s bad attitude (and perhaps a few other isolated incidents) the worst language you’ll hear in this film is “h*ll” and “up yours” which are both said twice as an angry exclamation.

Buddy’s naivet and simplicity also provide many scenarios for him to unintentionally misbehave. For example, Buddy hears his friend, Jovie ( Zooey Deschanel ) singing in the shower and goes to listen to her. When she discovers he is in the bathroom, she confronts him and tells him to leave. Similarly, Buddy literally drops his pants in the kitchen when Walter tells him to “lose the tights,” and later Buddy gets drunk with a co-worker at his dad’s company when he adds liquor to his coffee thinking it is a kind of sweetener. The faux pas of each situation is intended to be humorous due to Buddy’s innocence.

Whether or not you support the idea of Santa Claus at Christmas, this film at least uses it to promote a clear biblical concept: faith . At one point, Santa’s sleigh is having trouble flying due to people’s lack of Christmas spirit. Seeing that the “Clausometer” (instrument that measures Christmas spirit) is low, Santa enlightens us with the theme of the story saying, “Christmas spirit is about believing, not seeing.” This is a simple definition of faith and the idea plays out through the rest of the film until its climax. [Learn about the real meaning of Christmas ]

“Elf” appeals to kids, as well as to the “kid” in each adult. There is a lot of slapstick humor, but overall “Elf” inspires us to think about what true goodness can do to affect even the most hardened people.

What You Need To Know:

(Pa, B, V, AA, M) Pagan worldview portraying a Christmas movie with no mention of God or Christ, but with a subtle portrayal of a Menorah, a Jewish icon; no cursing but reference to bad-smelling asparagus pee; mild comedic violence with a store Santa fighting an irate elf, though nobody is hurt; very subtle sexual innuendo with protagonist saying his tongue swells and his heart beats faster to a girl he likes; some alcohol effects portrayed as protagonist accidentally gets drunk with another worker; and, miscellaneous immorality shown with protagonist’s half brother, a cynical boy, showing disrespect to a group of people in a boardroom, and being rewarded by his father.

More Detail:

ELF stars funnyman Will Ferrell as Buddy, an orphaned human baby who crawled into Santa’s sack unnoticed one Christmas Eve and was raised by elves at the North Pole. Since the average elf is three feet tall, buddy at six-feet-two is a rather obvious standout. Bob Newhart plays his adopted father with typical dry wit. Though his life at the North Pole has taught him to be simple and kind, his size and comparative slowness of speed at making toys makes him an oddity. Overhearing two elves talking about him being a “human,” his adopted father must tell him the truth. His real mother and father were young and unwed, and his mother had him unknown to his father, and then died. Santa (Ed Asner) advises him to go to New York to find his real father, and who he really is as a human.

His real father (James Caan) is a typical Scrooge. His children’s book publishing is his life, and he has little time for his wife (Mary Steenburgen) or his son Mike. “Buddy the elf” shows up, wants to live with them and turns their world upside down! Though 30 in human years, he has the simplistic, childlike ways of a five-year-old. . . from another planet!

ELF is a humorous Christmas movie meant to take advantage of the market with the likes of THE SANTA CLAUSE, CHRISTMAS STORY, and THE GRINCH. Having absolutely nothing to do with Christianity, it stays with the premise that the highest and best use of Christmas is to “bring out the good” in everyone. Other than the humanistic view of Christmas, the only objectionable parts are when Buddy tells a beautiful co-worker that when he sees her, his “tongue” swells, his heart beats faster, etc. There is no sex, or other innuendo, and most children would not pick up on this line. While Buddy’s father is in a “brain storming session” with his writers, one has the idea for a book with a family of asparagus who are embarrassed about their pee smelling bad. The idea is brushed off and new ones appear.

Will Farrell is extremely funny playing Buddy in this “fish-out-of-water” story. He plays Buddy straight as an elf that thinks the best of everyone, wants to hug everyone, and cannot understand why anyone would not believe in Santa Claus! He is a fantastic bumbler – tripping, falling, and generally wrecking every place he goes. The scene where he tries to get on an escalator is lots of fun. Another is when a “store Santa” starts greeting the children, and Buddy confronts him as a charlatan in front of the children, ultimately causing a fight. (Apparently, a fighting Santa and screaming children make the movie a PG.) Also, Buddy’s penchant for maple syrup gets him in trouble when a co-worker in the mailroom offers him a bottle of alcohol to help pick up his coffee, and Buddy pours the entire contents of liquor into his cup! Soon he is break dancing on the worktables, high as a kite!

Director Jon Favreau’s style for graphics, sets, animation, and titles is very 60s feeling, harkening back to TV’s RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED-REINDEER and other “clay-mation” style holiday shows. At the North Pole there is an animated penguin, snowman, and walrus that interact briefly with Buddy as well as a narwhal!

In the city Buddy is routinely run over by yellow cabs, likes to make himself dizzy in a revolving door, and stands in childlike wonder at the Christmas decorations. He wins the admiration of his little half-brother when he decimates a large number of snowball- throwing ambushers with his high speed, machine-gun-like deadly accuracy, in a spoof of many cop and war movie scenes. In the end, Buddy saves Christmas and is accepted by his real father.

Overall, the production quality for ELF is fairly high, and Ed Asner, James Caan, and Mary Steenburgen play their parts well. Other than the above-described scenes, ELF is a fairly harmless, mindless-world-view Christmas movie.

Elf Me Reviews

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

Full Review | Jan 16, 2024

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.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Nov 30, 2023

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.

Review: Long before Bond, ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ kicked off British covert ops

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Guy Ritchie’s latest, the cumbersomely titled “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” is at once his “Inglourious Basterds” and his “Dunkirk.” With his adaptation of the 2016 nonfiction book “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill’s Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops” by historian and war reporter Damien Lewis, Ritchie borrows Quentin Tarantino’s winking postmodern retro style to pay homage to real-life British war heroes with the same reverence that Christopher Nolan paid to the heroes of Dunkirk.

The prolific Ritchie started out with cheeky crime comedies ( “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” “Snatch” ) and has dabbled in historical bombast ( “King Arthur,” “Sherlock”), Disney remakes (“Aladdin”), contemporary thrillers ( “Wrath of Man,” “The Covenant”) and, to diminishing returns, more recent crime comedies (“The Gentlemen,” “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre” ). But he finds a nice groove with this entertaining World War II not-quite-comedy. There’s a glee in the Nazi killing and an exceptionally dry humor that is English through and through, but Ritchie strikes a tone that rides the line between self-serious and self-consciously humorous.

If Tarantino uses a stylistic pastiche of 1960s and ’70s exploitation films and spaghetti westerns in order to rewrite history to his own liking, Ritchie borrows Tarantino’s approach to perform a kind of pulpy myth-making and celebrate a group of undersung real-life war heroes (who may have inspired Ian Fleming’s James Bond). The score by Christian Benstead is all Ennio Morricone -style whistles and guitars.

Though it is not named as such in the film, which is heavily imagined and fictionalized with the addition of a few new characters, the script, which is by Paul Tamasy, Eric Johnson, Arash Amel and Ritchie, essentially follows the 1942 special-operations mission known as “Operation Postmaster.” Concerned about the interference of German U-boats throttling England’s ability to receive supplies, Winston Churchill ( Rory Kinnear in the stiffest makeup job seen in some time) gives the go-ahead for Brigadier Gubbins’ “M” to hire the right man to target an Italian freighter loaded with U-boat supplies. Cripple the U-boats, open the channel.

The right man for the job is the incarcerated Gus March-Phillips (Henry Cavill), and he assembles his team of expert rapscallions, including Danish warrior Anders Lessen (Alan Ritchson), explosives expert Freddy Alvarez (Henry Golding) and Irish sailor Henry Hayes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin). On the way to the Spanish island of Fernando Po, off the coast of equatorial Africa, they’ll have to make a stop to pick up Geoffrey Appleyard (Alex Pettyfer), imprisoned as a POW in a Nazi outpost on La Palma, in the Canary Islands.

Their liaisons on the ground in Fernando Po are the British secret agents Heron (Babs Olusanmokun) and Marjorie Stewart (Eiza González) a half-Jewish actor and singer trained in the spycraft of seduction, whose target is a sadistic, high-powered Nazi named Luhr (Til Schweiger). They also have an ally in the Eton-educated “Prince of Fernando Po” Kambili Kalu (Danny Sapani) and his private militia.

While Ritchie structures the film around tense conversations and bursts of violence, “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is a bit languidly paced in between and isn’t that suspenseful. In an opening sequence, we see our ad-hoc special forces team dispatch a group of German sailors with a bit of amateurish theater and a dose of their signature firepower. No one breaks a sweat, no one raises their voices, they never run out of ammo and even in extreme situations there’s time for droll Britishisms, smarmy jokes and homoerotic ribbing.

Ritchie positions these heroes as highly capable and utterly untouchable warriors, mowing down Nazis without ruffling their mustache hairs (hot tip: don’t Google these guys if you want to keep the good times rolling). It’s all a part of the fantasy he spins through style and reference. This isn’t an authentic representation of World War II, it’s an imagining of what this story would be like told in a ’70s exploitation flick. It’s the kind of movie that would star Rick Dalton, the character played by Leonardo DiCaprio in “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.” González isn’t miscast as English spy Marjorie Stewart because she’s playing the kind of actress who would play Stewart opposite Dalton.

Even if the heavy stylization leaves the film feeling a bit arch, there’s a real affection that comes through in Ritchie’s homage to these early special-forces soldiers, making them larger-than-life cinema heroes and letting the audience in on the fun. You’re only left wanting more time with this team. Who knows, maybe Ritchie will rewrite history to his liking if there’s another installment of ungentlemanly warfare.

Movie Review

Beatrix has only ever wanted one thing in life: world domination.

The plan is simple: Obtain a loan to open up a pet store for villains. Embed the little rascals with a kill switch so that they’ll turn on their new masters. And then, through some complex paperwork that the villains will no doubt sign without reading, receive all their financial assets and use the money to take over the world.

Did I say simple ? Dastardly , certainly. Inadvisable , obviously. But nothing about Beatrix’s plot is simple .

In fact, nothing about Beatrix’s plot is even attainable .

Before she can put her plan into action, Beatrix will need to become a licensed supervillain herself—a legal profession in the alternate future she lives in. To do that, she’ll need to pass the annual villain tryouts. And if she has any hope of surviving those, she’ll need superpowers. Which she doesn’t have and which she has no hope of gaining.

Unfortunately, Beatrix was born a lowly henchman. But hey, maybe that’s her edge. Maybe the world needs a blue-collar bad girl—a villain for the people.

Maybe, she’s just what evil needs.

Positive Elements

There are a couple of niceish lessons about friendship and loyalty here—though it’s also fair to say that Beatrix and her friends’ definition of those two terms is often twisted and frown-eliciting.

A few characters risk their lives to save those they care about. One villain is a self-proclaimed pacifist—something that frequently conflicts with his bad-guy ways.

A man is rescued from a human trafficking plot—though it should be noted his rescuers lie to him about the incident.

Spiritual Elements

Some folks are born with superpowers, such as the hero Captain Justice. Of course, he wasn’t actually born . He was spawned from a plant pod—the normal form of procreation among his alien species. Others are able to gain superpowers via supplements or injectable serums, which we can assume are made through science.

After a supervillain dies, someone at his funeral reads in Latin from a book with a pentagram on the cover, suggesting the villain may have been an occultist of some sort. Beatrix says she can “kinda” speak to the dead because she took necromancy in high school. Someone says the villain tryouts will “test your soul—if you have one.”

Cain, Beatrix’s friend and fellow henchman, often folds his hands before his chest, taking a meditative breath when people frustrate him (since he’s a pacifist).

Alex, whom Beatrix and her friends rescue from a fellow villain, says his youth pastor called him “weird.” Someone says, “God bless America.” A man wears a shirt that says, “Hell was boring.”

Sexual Content

Harold, another of Beatrix’s friends, often flirts with women. He says “hubba, hubba” when Beatrix shows him her new villain I.D. There’s a joke about male anatomy. We hear that a couple is going through a divorce. Cain informs Beatrix that she dropped an undergarment, but we don’t see the clothing. A man makes out with a loaf of bread during some mind control experiments. A woman says she wants to “grind” on personal trainers. A woman wears a midriff-bearing top.

Violent Content

There’s actually quite a bit of violence in this film, but not in the way you might typically think. The only blood we see is a drop of it on a bandage that a woman wraps around her hand after getting stabbed there with a pencil. And people die—even explode—except we never see a single bit of gore.

Essentially, most of the film’s hard knocks are played for humor. Thus, the violence itself can feel a bit silly and nonsensical.

That said, the violence here is nevertheless consequential at times. Bullets kill, but usually offscreen. And they sometimes act more like electrical shocks to superpowered people. A finger cannon (a result of one of those superpower supplements I mentioned) completely eviscerates targets in a flash of light, but not blood. Elsewhere, a woman is forced into a chair full of dynamite, but the chair rolls offscreen before exploding (albeit with the woman still in it).

When a deadly spider lands on a villain’s arm, he tries to smack the arachnid before it can bite him. Unfortunately, he had just charged up his hand to kill a hero and in smacking his arm, he activates his power, killing himself instead. And one superhero is reduced to a green goo that a man partially ingests after mistaking it for pudding.

Cain, as I mentioned, is a pacifist. When possible, he urges folks to talk through their problems instead of punching through them. But when push comes to shove—as in, he literally gets shoved around a lot—even he resorts to fisticuffs. When he’s forced to kill a superhero, he tries to revive the man with CPR, to no effect.

A woman throws a handful of pencils like darts, impaling (but not seriously injuring) a man. Someone is stabbed with a pair of scissors, but he’s ultimately OK. Superheroes and villains use their powers to throw each other around. During fight sequences, folks use nearby objects as weapons as often as they use actual weapons or their fists. A man is repeatedly kicked in the groin (though it doesn’t affect him, due to some superpower supplements he’s been taking), and another guy has bowling balls dropped on the same area.

Beatrix and her friends often get into scuffles with each other over petty disagreements. They take on several dangerous jobs, such as poison testers and target holders (where they literally hold up targets on a gun range), to earn some extra cash. When Beatrix says she’s bulletproof, someone shoots her to prove it. Luckily, Beatrix is only bruised since she was wearing a “Bulletproof Blouse” at the time.

We see Beatrix and her friends nursing some wounds after a fight gone wrong. Folks destroy some objects in anger. A few people are pepper-sprayed. One guy is tasered. Many threats are issued. One man bites several people throughout the film.

A man is forced to kill himself via mind control (he’s ordered to “force quit”). A woman says her uncle tripped on an axe and died. She also admits that she peaked at his dead body at his funeral even though it was a closed casket. We hear that a man created a “particle eviscerator.” His reason for doing so? Even though it isn’t any more humane than his main superpower (melting faces), it covered the screams of his victims better.

There’s a joke about accidental deaths that occur due to improperly stored guns.

Crude or Profane Language

A couple of uses of “dang” and one possible use of “d–n.” Someone says, “Son of a—” before he’s cut off. And another man says he and his friends are “little b’s,” though he means “bad guys.”

Drug and Alcohol Content

The superpower serums I mentioned above are illegal. We hear a bit about how these drugs are traded on the black market. After one villain injects himself with a serum that gives him “lightning hands,” his friends ask if there are side effects, wondering if the drug will affect his urine or allow him to become pregnant.

Some people drink beer. We hear a joke about the opioid crisis. Two characters debate the proper dosage of an over-the-counter pain medication.

Other Negative Elements

It seems that Beatrix and her friends don’t know how to do anything but be bad. They lie, cheat, betray, steal and otherwise celebrate any act that makes the world a more dangerous place. Harold in particular believes it’s his duty to serve his “evil overlords” no matter the cost, often causing his friends grief.

Beatrix does learn a bit about how it’s important not to lie to your friends—even if you are bad guys. But even as one of their own is dragged off by police for an act he didn’t commit, they resolve to wait a month before breaking him out of prison.

The film’s main superhero seems only to be such because of marketing. He’s just as bloodthirsty as any villain, he lies, and he litters. Villains, of course, lie, cheat, betray, steal and more, too.

A man says that mind control isn’t necessary with the right marketing strategy. There are some jokes about former President Nixon (who is a hero in this alternate world), Stockholm Syndrome and starvation. Several villains say, “Hail Sigma,” in reference to the supervillain, Sigma. We hear a few sexist jokes and statements.

A villain with seagull superpowers is strangled by a man using the plastic rings used to hold soda cans together, poking fun at how the things often harm ocean life.

We see two men urinating from behind. (One of them says he isn’t going to wash his hands because he’s “bad.”) A woman pretends to be having bowel trouble to avoid getting caught by some villains. A man vomits. Someone gets spat on. We hear about flatulence.

Beatrix spends much of this film lying and cheating—which is cool for a villain, but not for a friend.

She winds up hurting her friends, Cain, Harold and Alex. And the group splits up for a while as a result. When all the cards are down, Beatrix realizes that as much as she wants to be the bast (a combo of “bad” and “best”) villain in the world, she also wants her friends by her side, and she makes amends with them. You know, as long as they can reserve the right to stab her in the back at any time. After all, they’re still villains .

Villains Inc. is rated PG-13 for violence and brief drug material. As I said, the violence we see here may not be as bloody and gore-filled as say, The Boys , another take on the superhero/supervillain complex. That said, Villains Inc. isn’t as squeaky clean as The Incredibles , either.

The drugs mentioned are, of course, the ones that grant normal people superpowers. We hear a few winking sexual innuendos and a couple of near misses on language.

Overall, I was pretty shocked at how relatively content-free this film was—apart from a lot of ridiculous slapstick violence. I certainly wouldn’t recommend it for younger audiences—like I said, it’s not The Incredibles or even The Bad Guys , which had some great messages about how we don’t have to be bad.

But if you’re looking for a relatively innocuous film to share with your friends or your spouse, at least you won’t be cringing through crass language, bloodbaths or overt sexual content in Villains Inc .
