Elf, 2003

Stars: Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, James Caan, Edward Asner, Bob Newhart, Mary Steenburgen





Buddy (Ferrell), a human who was raised by an elves at the North Pole, finds out he is actually a human (he never knew). When his Papa (Newhart) tells him the truth, he sets out to find his father Walter (Caan) in the magical land of New York City.

Buddy explores New York, accidentally acquires a job at a department store, and finds Walter and his wife Emily (Steenburgen) and son Michael. Buddy's ways are unconventional, but everybody loves him. He even gets himself a girlfriend, (Deschanel), one of his coworkers.

Then, on Christmas Eve, Santa crashes in Central Park, because not enough people believe in Santa anymore! If Buddy and his friends don't find a way to get more people to believe in Santa, the sleigh will never get off the ground again.

A wonderful, hilarious Christmas adventure! I love it!
