Strangely enough I didn't find Elf at all compelling.  In the first few minutes it is like yowza, Ferrell's bulge is showing in those cadmium yellow tights.  But then it wears off and it is like no biggie.  In fact I thought it makes the whole idea of a man wearing tights for fashion look ludicrous.  A downer in my book.

But yeah, the Robin Hood movie was cool, especially the jokes about liking to wear tights.  Talk about overt!  http://bilder.parsimony.net/smilies/smile.gif alt=smile>
