About this movie

Once upon a Christmas Eve, an orphan baby crawled into Santa's bag of gifts and was taken to the North Pole. Raised by Papa Elf (Bob Newhart), Buddy (Will Ferrell) comes to realize he doesn't fit in with the other elves. Determined to find a place where he belongs, Buddy searches for his real dad – in New York City! In the Big Apple, Buddy finds out why his dad (James Caan) is on the naughty list. But most importantly, he sees that the world is seriously lacking in Christmas spirit, which causes Santa all kinds of problems. So with the help of a beautiful department store elf (Zooey Deschanel), Buddy tries to teach his dad and the world the true meaning of Christmas spirit and to prove to everyone that Santa (Ed Asner) really exists. 2004 MMIII New Line Productions, Inc.

Ratings and reviews

The title says it all, throw in it's a wonderful life, jingle all the way and whatever else floats your boat; but Elf must be in all under 30's top 10 Christmas movies. What makes me sad is the 12 people who clearly have issues in their life and gave this one star. I bet at least one of those people is torturing a small animal right now. Those people are Sid from Toy Story kind of people, and if you are one I urge you to get help.

I have honestly had elf on repeat watch a huuuge amount so much so that my DVD of it broke, is totally ridiculous but so so funny and cute...... HILARIOUS MUST SEE :)

Stupid stupid stupid. Zooey Deschanel was delightful as always but Will Ferrell might just be the most annoying man on the planet. Utter crap
