ELF

Goofy Comedy - Neglected baby ends up in Santa's bag and is raised by elves at the North Pole. He is large for an elf (being human) and doesn't quite fit in. Years later the elf (Will Ferrell) travels to New York in search of his long lost father (James Caan). The Elf is hopelessly out of place in New York and this is the absurdity and source of comedy. Somehow the elf manages to make a girlfriend and to get along with his dad and mom and younger brother. The cast is talented and some parts of this movie are really funny, and other parts are just plain dumb, the risk of comedy. 2003
