A heartwarming, hilarious film.

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2016)

Elf is essentially a Christmas classic nowadays, and for good reason. This movie is funny, sweet, and extremely quotable. The film follows Buddy the elf on his quest to NYC to find his birth father. It's a ridiculous concept executed very well. Buddy encounters many crazy characters and situations on his journey. He discovers the wildness of New York as he tries to adjust to life as a human.
Will Ferrell makes a hilarious Buddy. His random screams of excitement and childlike joy make for a lovable protagonist. He is full of innocence and Christmas joy, making him someone you can root for and care about.
I love this film since I grew up watching it and it still holds a special place in my heart. I make sure to re-watch it every year around Christmas!
