It takes a pretty deft touch to make us believe towering Will Ferrell as a displaced human cum Santa's elf, Ed Asner as St. Nick and make a Christmas movie that's as loopy/sassy as it is seasonally sentimental. Yet that's what director Jon Favreau has done with this unlikely little holiday gem, and his hand-picked song score underscores its warm heart and comedic smarts with charm to burn. Suffused with a New York sense of traditional cool, Favreau turns his soundtrack into an upbeat secular Christmas classic, a sort of Swingers-Meet-Santa collection that convinces us that performances as diverse as Louis Prima's rousing take on "Pennies From Heaven" and the pumping soul of Billy Preston's "Nothing From Nothing" are as season-friendly as the performances of more traditional Christmas pop fare by Ella Fitzgerald, Jim Reeves, Eartha Kitt and Eddy Arnold they bookend. The edited Ferrante & Teicher/Les Baxter medley is a lounge-y inspiration, while a trio of laconic Leon Redbone crooners anchor the film's dizzy, if often bittersweet emotional foundations. Co-star Zooey Deschanel duets with Redbone on "Baby It's Cold Outside," her bluesy performance a welcome surprise that recalls nothing less than a young Peggy Lee. --Jerry McCulley

The album has a lot of great material but most can be picked up off other albums. Get this one for Zooey Deschanel. Kind of pricey for one song but I think it was worth it.

The main reason I bought this CD is because I wanted the song "baby it's cold outside". However, the version on this CD is kind of weird. It was not what I expected. Not only are the lyrics slightly different, the voices singing it are a little different as well... but still a good CD nonetheless.

This CD is worth it (at DEC 2007 Amazon price) just for Leon Redbone and Zooey Deschanel's rendition of "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Deschanel's voice made this version a new Christmas favorite in my household. The CD as a whole is good enough to hold its own as a key album in your holiday music, but just shy of being "the one Christmas CD you gotta have".
Would like to hear more from Deschanel and that bluesy (sp?) voice.

I love christmas music, and have quite a few christmas cd's. The "Elf" soundtrack is my favorite collection of classic artists and christmas favorites. P.S. don't miss this amazing christmas movie

Baby it's cold outside performed by Leon Redbone and Zooey Deschanel is the hit of this compilation. Redbone really sounds like he's determined to seduce. The rest of the album are good to, particularly Eartha Kit in Santa Baby the classic rendition of this holiday staple.
