Next in my 31 Days of Christmas is a more recent Christmas Movie:
Elf is the story of a human baby, Buddy, raised by elves in the North Pole who never really quite fit in. One day he overhears two elves talking and finds out he is adopted. One of my favorite lines is from Leon the Snowman who looks suspiciously Sam the Snowman from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, "At least you have a daddy. I was just rolled up one day and left out in the cold!"
His adopted father gives him a photo of his real father and a snow globe of the Empire State Building where he works.
Buddy sets off for New York City traveling through "the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and through the Lincoln Tunnel" to find his real father, who just happens to be on Santa's naughty list.
After that it becomes the typical Christmas spirit/transformation/reunited family holiday movie that ends with the world believing in Santa Claus again. But woven throughout are some hilarious scenes that only Will Ferrel (or Robin Williams 20 years ago) could pull off. One of the funniest is when he mistakes a egotistical children's writer, who happens to be a dwarf, for one of Santa's elves. "He's an angry elf."
The dwarf jumps up on the table, runs and attacks Buddy.
Although a fun movie, with a few funny moments, it isn't one I would watch over and over.
