About this movie

One Christmas Eve a long time ago, a baby crawled into Santa's bag of toys... Raised as an elf, Buddy (Will Ferrell) grows into an adult three times larger than the biggest elf--and realizes that he will never truly fit in at the North Pole. This holiday season, Buddy goes looking for his true place in the world--in New York City. Buddy finds his workaholic father (James Caan)--who's on Santa's "naughty" list, a new mother (Mary Steenburgen) and a 10-year-old brother who doesn't believe in Santa Claus or elves. Here, now, Buddy discovers his destiny--to save Christmas for New York and the world!

Ratings and reviews

It's about a guy who is raised by elves, and acts retarded when he goes to New York.

This movie continues to delight us each Christmas. Such a fun story, brisk pacing, great acting all around.

I love this movie I watched it multiple times and I am still going to watch it and it is my favorite Christmas movie of all time😄😄😄
