ELF

JON FAVREAU | USA | 2003 | 97 MIN | PG | ENGLISH 

This infectious holiday favorite stars Will Ferrell as one of Santa’s not-so-little helpers who reunites with his human family and takes NYC by storm. Buddy (Ferrell) is a human being adopted as a baby by the elves of the North Pole and raised to believe that he’s just an improbably large, gawky elf. After discovering his true heritage, Buddy sets off to meet his dad Walter (James Caan), a grumpy New York publisher on the “naughty list” due to his greedy ways. Featuring a top-notch supporting cast and one of Ferrell’s most lovably eccentric performances, Elf is a dose of Christmastime good cheer that’s as heartfelt as it is hilarious.

Cast: Will Ferrell, James Caan, Bob Newhart, Zooey Deschanel
