Best X-mas movie in years

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2004)

Will Ferrell is excellent in Jon Favreau's charming comedy. This is tale of Buddy (Ferrell) a human raised by elves. When Buddy is told he is not an elf he goes in search of his father in the big city. Now while this may sound like a corny, children's x-mas movie, this is brilliantly pulled off and genuinely funny throughout. In the cinema I found myself along with many adults laughing just as much as the children. A lot, of the comedy is down to Will Ferrell's portrayal of Buddy of which i do not know of an actor that could do better. This is definitely one of the best x-mas comedies and a must see.
