Will Ferrell makes yet another
memorable splash on the big screen in Jon Favreau's
sweet and hilarious Christmas fable. Ferrell is Buddy,
an innocent figure who was raised as an elf in the North
Pole by his adoptive father, Papa Elf (Bob Newhart).
When Buddy discovers that he's actually a human being,
he heads to New York City to reunite with his biological
father. The trouble is that his dad, Walter (James Caan),
is a publishing executive who doesn't have time for
anything other than work.
Buddy
moves in with Walter and his family, and proceeds to
teach them a lesson or two about what being a family
really means. Meanwhile, he also falls head over heels
in love with the incredibly cute department store clerk,
Jovie (Zooey Deschanel). By the time Christmas Eve rolls
around, the general lack of spirit in the air threatens
to ground Santa for the big night. He must rely on
Buddy's expertise and overall enthusiasm to ensure that
Christmas will be saved once again. Favreau's film is
family entertainment at its finest, featuring a
performance by Ferrell that is at once innocent, tender,
and laugh-out-loud funny. A stellar supporting
cast--including Caan, Deschanel, Newhart, and Faizon
Love - adds to the film's already overabundant charm!!
