On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....
Nine elves a-helping!
This Christmas classic (yes, I'm saying it's a classic. I dare any of you to try and find someone who doesn't know about this holiday gold) is one of the funniest Christmas movies ever!
Will Ferrell stars as the childlike giant helper of Santa, Buddy Hobbs, in "Elf". On a routine Christmas night, Santa Claus is making his rounds in an orphanage when a baby unexpectedly crawls into his sack of gifts. When Santa reaches the North Pole, Papa Elf volunteers to raise the child as his own.
As the years go by, Christmas Spirit dwindles as more and more people stop believing in Santa. Unfortunately, Christmas Spirit is what powers his sleigh, so Papa Elf has to continuously upgrade the sleigh's engine to continue to have it run every year.
While doing the duties of an elf, Buddy finds that he isn't the "special" elf everyone tried telling him he was, but a human. After being given his true father's (James Caan) name and location, Buddy sets out to find him; but this will prove to be more difficult than he imagined.
My Rating:
4.734617823 out of 5 Christmas Trees
This movie basically has everything you need for a holiday flick: Christmas spirit, Christmas carols, comedy, action, Santa Claus, elves and miracles!
In my humble opinion, this movie has the perfect blend of holiday goodness to make this a Christmas story for the ages.
