Buddy the Elf is searching for the true meaning of Christmas, but it’s not
going to be easy in this hilariously off-the-wall, Ferrell-esque comedy from
director Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Chef).
One Christmas Eve long ago, a small orphan baby crawled into Santa’s bag of
gifts and was carried off to the North Pole. Named Buddy (Ferrell) and raised
by Papa Elf (Bob Newhart), it soon became clear that he didn’t fit in as he
was much bigger than the other elves. Determined to find a place where he
belongs, Buddy sets out to find his real dad—in New York City! Buddy soon
discovers that the big city is no place for an elf and his mean dad (James
Caan) is on the Naughty list. But most importantly, he finds that the world
is seriously lacking in Christmas spirit. So with the help of a friendly
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. (Dir. by Jon Favreau, 2003, USA 97 min.,
Rated PG)
