It's the classic clash between wholesome family fun and adult humor. Elf offers a yearly dose of holiday spirit, while Old School brings those laugh-out-loud college throwback vibes. Fans are torn because both movies represent very different but equally cherished Will Ferrell moments.
Old School has its own loyal following because it hits that nostalgia button hard. It’s a quintessential early 2000s frat-style comedy that a lot of fans grew up quoting. The wild antics and memorable lines provide a strong, albeit different, appeal from Elf.
Elf is crushing it probably because it's such a feel-good family classic. Who doesn't love watching Buddy's hilarious antics every holiday season? It's that blend of sweet, festive cheer and comedy that really resonates with fans year after year.
