Perspective: You’ve heard plenty about “The Godfather.” Let’s talk about James Caan and “Elf.”
So let’s talk about something else. Let’s talk about Walter Hobbs.Caan’s character in the 2003 family-friendly holiday comedy “Elf” might not be the first thing that sprung to the minds of most film critics when his death was announced, but it’s certainly the one occupying my mind. I’m not the least bit embarrassed by this, nor should you be if you’re in the same camp. It’s easily one of his best performances in a career in which each seemed to best the last.Am I biased? Of course.
“Elf” is just like “The Godfather,” really: It doesn’t work without James Caan. He might not play the main character in either, but he’s one of the most important in both. And, in some ways, “Elf” highlights a certain natural progression of his career. It went a whole lot further in undoing Sonny Corleone than, say, “Misery.”
