Of course Jon Favreau directed this

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 2020)

It has Jon Favreau all over it. And that other guy, the one in every scene. And thank god for that because that Will Ferrell is so funny he can BE in every scene and you still want more. This movie is sweet. It's funny as hell without hurting anyone. It's gentle humor so perfect for an xmas tale. In this one a human man who has been raised as one of Santa's elves is told the truth by his tiny elven "father". This makes the chance for hilarious sight gags of Will Ferrell being too big for his life. When he finds out his actual father is a human in NYC (and on the naughty list) he sets off to find him. Will Ferrell's elf is a character so full of love that he can push his way in and be happily received, even if not right away.
