Great Christmas Comedy for the Whole Family

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2011)

After crawling into Santa's bag as a baby, Buddy, played by Will Ferrell, gets raised by elves in the North Pole. However, as he gets older, he soon realizes that he just can't live in an elf's world. He decides to go to New York City to find his real dad, who happens to be on the naughty list. But Buddy soon realizes that New York is nothing like the North Pole, and once again, he struggles to fit in.
I found the film to be very enjoyable and entertaining. Will Ferrell was the perfect choice for Buddy, and you just can't help but laugh at the crazy things he does in New York. Eating gum off the sidewalk, attempting to use an escalator; the jokes are funny for children and adults alike. The ending is thrilling and kids will surely love it; adults likewise, despise some unnecessary sentiment thrown in. So overall, the movie is nothing spectacular, but it is a fun and refreshing Christmas comedy for the whole family.
