and syrup." - Buddy
Why watch this?
You'll fall for Buddy immediately - his innocence is infectious.
Plot Summary: This
Christmas fantasy follows Buddy, a human who was mistakenly
raised as an elf at the North Pole. Feeling out of place due to
his size and lack of elf-like skills, Buddy travels to New York
City to find his biological father. Buddy attempts to connect
with his cynical father and spread Christmas cheer in a world
that has forgotten the magic of the holiday season.

Dad's Preview:
Perhaps the most original Christmas movie in the last 20 years.
Director Jon Favreau brings us a magical story of an adopted
elf, Buddy. Ferrell breathes wonder, humor and life
into the character, as only he can. It's heart-warming to watch
the 6 ft. 2 in. Buddy embrace
people, eat the bubble gum under the railings, and not be embarrassed to show
holiday enthusiasm. It's so good, it transcends its Christmas
genre and stands well on its own. |
