  • If the b plot wasn't family reconciliation I'd agree.

  • "If Elf was about a human raised by bunnies and then Buddy helped a family learn the true meaning of Easter it would be an Easter movie! So Elf isn't a Christmas movie."

    That's what this argument sounds like to me. You're hyper focusing on one tiny element of the story. Yes, there are not many Christmas parts, but taken together they are sufficient to make a Christmas movie. If the party wasn't Christmas themed you'd still have Christmas themed misic and a movie about a man trying to fix his family (super common Christmas trope).

  • While I agree that people shouting about it being a Christmas movie is annoying, it definitely is a Christmas movie. It has all the trappings of a Christmas movie and Christmas music is in the score.

  • And mostly because Xmas is sort of a spooky holiday too yet no one ever acknowledges it.

    A Christmas Carol features four ghosts (six if you're being weirdly technical about the book) and is a very traditional Christmas story people are familiar with.

  • Real reasons:

    1. Happens during a Christmas party.
    2. Christmas music in the score.
    3. B plot involves family mending which is a common trope of Christmas movies.

  • It has Christmas music in the soundtrack, the b plot is about family mending, and it takes place during a Christmas party.

  • Oh, hard disagree, I don't believe playing a movie at Christmas time is what makes a movie a Christmas movie.

  • I find the topic exhausting because Did Hard is obviously a Christmas themed action movie (and I believe that qualifies as a Christmas movie), but everyone really making a stand about it is sort of being cringe. I don't really know how to explain it. It's like they're acting like it's so wild and crazy to say, like they've found some weird loop hole. I think it's this weird tone of the discussion that leads to the pushback. Because, while it's definitely a Christmas movie, it's not like super Christmas-y. The Christmas aspects could easily be edited out and the movie would still make sense.

  • what I'm trying to say is "Christmas Movies are what people make their Christmas Movie regardless of if they are Christmas-y"

    It's more Christmasey than you may remember, when is the last time you watched it?

  • This is such an exhausting topic. Anyone saying it isn't a Christmas movie either hasn't seen it recently enough to remember it or they're being contraian. It takes place during Christmas, a Christmas party even. It has Christmas music woven into the soundtrack. The b plot is the main character fixing his marriage (a common theme of Christmas movies is fixing families).

    To be honest, I sort of would view people arguing that it isn't a Christmas movie like people arguing Red One isn't a Christmas movie because it is primarily an action movie. Red One is more obvious due to the marketing and the fact it's literally about saving Santa after he is kidnapped, but it's still very moreso an action movie than other similar titles (The Santa Clause also has a kidnapped Santa subplot and a team of elite elves rescue him, but it is much more minor).
