The Magic Of Christmas

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2003)

ELF is one of the best Christmas movies out there. It is funny, charming, and well acted. The always-funny Will Farrell plays Buddy, a human who grows up as an ELF. After finding out that he is not original from the North Pole, Buddy sets out on a journey to find the family that he left behind. This takes him to New York City, where he meets his dad who is anything but thrilled to see him. Now Buddy must learn that sometimes life isn't so jolly, and help the people he has just met find the Christmas spirit that is inside all of us. Co-starring in the film is James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, and Bob Newhart. Elf is a family movie that everyone both young and old will find on the top of their must see lists. 3.9 out of 5 B+
