A Festive Favourite

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2014)

A festive favourite.
Every year as Christmas approaches I look forward to watching my usual Christmas movies. Elf is always one that I watch, every single year without fail, it is everything a Christmas film should be and much more!
Buddy (Will Ferrell) crawls in to Santa's sack when a baby one Christmas Eve & is accidentally taken back to the North Pole. Santa and his Elves realise that he must have crawled in as Santa visited an orphanage & as he has no parents, one of the elves steps forward and raises him. The story then fast forwards 20 years or so and Buddy leaves the North Pole and travels to New York to find his real Dad (who happens to be on the naughty list!!).
Will Ferrell does an incredibly good job at playing his part and the supporting cast are equally as good. There are no rude or edgy bits (which is unusual for a Will Ferrell movie) and it is very much a family film, suitable for all ages!
Elf is a real festive, feel good, classic Christmas film with a great cast, fantastic story and many hilarious moments.
9/10
