Movie Review: Elf

Saturday, August 15, 2009
Synopsis: As a baby, Buddy crawls into Santa's toy bag and is whisked off to the North Pole, where he is raised as an elf. A misfit who grows to be three times the size of his elf family, Buddy ultimately heads to his birthplace of New York City to seek out his roots. Unfortunately, they turn out to be a "Scrooge"-like father and a cynical ten-year-old stepbrother who doesn't believe in Santa. Worst of all, everyone seems to have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. But using his simple elf ways, Buddy sets out to single-handedly win over his family and save Christmas in New York, hoping to at last find his true place in the world.

Starring: Will Ferrell, James Caan, Zooey Deschanel, Bob Newhart, Ed Asner
Directed by: Jon Favreau
U.S. Rating: PG

Funny movie! It has become in a classic for every Christmas. My wife makes me crazy every single Christmas just because she wants to watch this movie almost every single day! Well, it's a really funny Christmas movie for all the family members. Will Ferrell plays as the human raised by Santa and he's being treated as an elf, even though, everything shows him that something is wrong with him, since he's different from any other elf, starting with his height! He decides to go to New York City and meet his real father, who doesn't remember him and is too busy to pay attention to his visit. A really funny plot.

What did I like from this movie?

1. Every single scene when he tries to contact his dad
2. The funniest scene, when he calls elf the famous writer (who's a midget)
3. The moment when his dad takes him to work in the mailing room and he turns the room into a big party

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. Well, it's a Christmas funny movie so, I could say that it has everything needed for a good laugh with your family at home

I would rate this movie with a 4/5
