Inspired by a popular computer game, Elf Bowling the Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike tells the tale of what happens when Santa's helpers decide they need to unionize in order to get better working conditions from their jolly bearded boss. They team up with Mr. Kringle's shady brother, Dingle Kringle, in order to achieve their goals. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
I'll just say it-- Elf Bowling The Movie is the weirdest Christmas flick since Santa Clause vs. The Martians. And that's saying a lot. On one hand, this is a low budget CG movie actually based on a computer game (!), and on the other hand it presents the most bizarrely cool and unexpected backstory about Santa ever-- that in ancient times he was a ruthless pirate, a bum who specialized in STEALING toys from children.
In this movie, Santa was such a crook, his crew mutinied and stranded him on an ice flow near, you guessed it--The North Pole. There he is thawed out by a race of sappy elves who MAKE toys. Naturally crooked Cap'n Santa starts out trying to trick and defraud them out of their toy booty, until his heart melts from the unexpected sincerity of the idiot elvin race.
Two thumbs up for what must surely be the weirdest Christmas movie ever made.
