Roku is showing "Elf" to be free but redirects you to Sling, which wants a membership fee. It does offer 7 other ways to watch which are also not free.

Hi @Srut,
Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!
We noticed in your post that when you try to play the Elf movie to watch for free, it prompts you to go to Sling TV. We would be more than willing to provide you with further details about this.
We have confirmed that the movie "Elf" is not currently available for free on the Roku Channel. However, you can watch it through subscription-based platforms such as Max, Sling, and DirecTV. For more information, please visit our Roku Channel Store website to see which channels offer this movie.
We hope you find this information helpful. Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,

Re: not so free movie advertisement
I believe the Roku mobile app was showing Elf as being free in the Search results but not when searching on the Roku device.
Seems like that has now been corrected to reflect no current free showings of Elf.
Just another Roku user... I am not a Roku employee.
