Elf Bowling the Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike

Just another mindless cash grab meant to cash in on a game from 1998 with a dead fanbase. The movie is not very good the character look-like their made of Playdough and the "jokes" in this movie range anywhere from cringeworthy (at worst) to might get a smerk out of you (at best). The worst part this movie is just when you think they're about to wrap up they introduce an entire new part of the plot takes up the other 40 minutes.

Its a good in joke between your friends. Oh, and I guess don't ever ever do anything remotely similar to this.

There can be only 1 elf bowling movie.

I never heard of the elf bowling games until like last year, and I came from the 90s. The game clearly looks ridiculous and like nothing really happens, but it also looked kind of funny. Not technically something that would be made into a kids movie though...

I found it on Amazon Prime Video with it's glorious 1.7 glory rating, but I figured I'd check it out...not once but twice. Yes TWICE!!! The movie was so boring that I couldn't even stay awake during its hour and a half long duration. The plot is stupid (to be honest, I still never knew what the damn plot was), the pacing is annoyingly slow, and none of the characters are likeable. Not only are the characters unlikable and unfunny, but their stupidity gives me a HORRENDOUS headache. The villian of the movie, Dinkle, had been a sly fox for 1400 years, and when random stuff happens, NO ONE FOR SOME REASON THINKS "OH MAYBE IT'S DINKLE AGAIN!!" But that would make too much sense and the movie can't make sense because then it will be too short, AND WE CAN'T HAVE OUR MOVIE BE SHORT!!

This is a damn Christmas movie based on a deadass video game, but I literally forgot about the so called "elf bowling" plotline...(sigh). The animation is tolerable and not too insulting despite the characters looking like creepy early CGI models...wait what year this came out again? Meh I don't care. The voice acting is not terrible, but it IS annoying. Every character, except maybe Lex (the magic ball elf), sounds incredibly annoying. That's more of my personal nitpick because I've heard less annoying voices in Spongebob Squarepants...(I made the reference because Tom Kenny plays Dinkle...).

This is a kid's movie sure, but this is not something I would recommend parents to show their kids. Not only is the movie terrible, but it's also an insult to children's intelligence and it's very boring. I personally think this was made for money, because the creators did not care. I'd taken creepy stop-motion Christmas specials before this anyday.

Oh there's sex jokes somewhere in there too...

This is like a chick flick but instead of smoking hot babes its a munchkin and a fat guy

This was for a game that was way past its popularity at this point. Nothing about it ever comes together. The story has potential but it's not all that interesting, the characters are meh though the rivalry between Santa (Joe Alaskey) and Dingle (Tom Kenny) is somewhat entertaining.

The animation isn't the worst but it certainly looks cheap. The textures look rubbery which's strange when they have to emote in some way like smile. It goes without saying but this's a movie you can definitely skip. It's got nothing for kids or adults so it fails to entertain in both departments.

If you're looking for so bad it's good than this might be for you. If not, definitely cross it off your wish list.
