Disney gets into the ‘Elf’ game by making their own version, only with a fairy godmother instead of Will Ferrell. Jillian Bell stars as Eleanor, who visits the real world to earn her wings and help a little girl’s old wish come true. The only issue is that the little girl is now grown up and wants nothing to do with the crazy lady waving a magic wand. It’s fun, light-hearted holiday camp with several chuckle-worthy moments… but it’s darn-near-impossible to escape the feeling that you’ve seen all this before already.
3/5 stars
