Everyone must go see Elf! It is really a hilarious movie and Will Ferrell can make me laugh just by looking at him in those stupid tights. HAHAHA!!!The story is about an orphan human baby who was accidentally brought to the North Pole in Santa Claus' toy sack, was later adopted and raised by one of the elder elves who had 'never got around to settling down', and this child grew up and lived his life as a elf, making toys. The comedy grows out of 'Buddy'[Ferrell's character] who never realizes he is human(as opposed to elf) and takes his height difference for granted.[for example: a photograph shows Buddy playing basketball with other elves and obviously dominating the game :)]. One day Buddy finds out he is human and he confronts his adopted father[played by Bob Newhart] who eventually tells him that his biological father lives in New York City. Buddy makes the journey to New York City to meet his biological father. Most of the comedy during this part of the movie has to do with Buddy 'being a fish out of water' or his enthusiasm for Christmas and being an elf being misunderstood by people as a delusion. Elf is a charming movie for the whole family and the ending was certainly sappy(much to the chagrin of my friends and I) but there are enough hilarious moments in the film to satisfy even the most critical viewer. This is destined to become a Holiday classic!
