Will
Ferrell
makes
yet
another
memorable
splash
on
the
big
screen
in
Jon Favreau's
sweet
and
hilarious
Christmas
fable.
Ferrell
is
Buddy,
an
innocent
figure
who
was
raised
as
an
elf
in
the
North
Pole
by
his
adoptive
father,
Papa
Elf
(Bob
Newhart).
When
Buddy
discovers
that
he's
actually
a
human
being,
he
heads
to
New
York
City
to
reunite
with
his
biological
father.
The
trouble
is
that
his
dad,
Walter
(James Caan),
is a
publishing
executive
who
doesn't
have
time
for
anything
other
than
work.
Buddy
moves
in
with
Walter
and
his
family,
and
proceeds
to
teach
them
a
lesson
or
two
about
what
being
a
family
really
means.
Meanwhile,
he
also
falls
head
over
heels
in
love
with
the
incredibly
cute
department
store
clerk,
Jovie
(Zooey
Deschanel).
By
the
time
Christmas
Eve
rolls
around,
the
general
lack
of
spirit
in
the
air
threatens
to
ground
Santa
for
the
big
night.
He
must
rely
on
Buddy's
expertise
and
overall
enthusiasm
to
ensure
that
Christmas
will
be
saved
once
again.
Favreau's
film
is
family
entertainment
at
its
finest,
featuring
a
performance
by
Ferrell
that
is
at
once
innocent,
tender,
and
laugh-out-loud
funny.
A
stellar
supporting
cast--including
Caan,
Deschanel,
Newhart,
and
Faizon
Love--adds
to
the
film's
already
overabundant
charm.
