Elf is one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time. There is not a Christmas movie that has just as much comedy as this one. The story starts off with Santa accidentally taking a human child with him back to the North Pole. Not knowing what to do, an elder elf stepped up and decided to raise Buddy as if he were an actual elf. Eventually as Buddy gets older, he finally realizes that he is not actually an elf, and decides that he wants to go meet his real father. His father lives in New York, and sadly he is on the naughty list. The movie continues to follow Buddy as he tries to meet the approval of his father and save Christmas at the same time. The main star in this movie is Will Ferrell. He is a great comedic actor starring in big movies such as Old School, and Anchorman. He didn’t let up on his hilarious comedy in this movie either. He is nothing but hilarious. All the characters in this movie are great. Buddy of course is the main character and is hilarious throughout the movie, always being happy, and not quite knowing what is going on in the real world. The main theme in this movie, I believe is, that one should always chase their dreams. Buddy goes through many troubles to get to know his father, but he never gives up hope. Critics of this movie say that it is not that funny and the humor could be improved. I completely disagree with this statement because the movie had me laughing from start to finish. If you are someone who has not seen this movie you need to get to a DVD rental as soon as possible. It is definitely worth it.
