The Film: ELF
Elf (2003) is a beloved comedy starring Will Ferrell as Buddy, a human accidentally raised at the North Pole and convinced he’s one of Santa’s elves.
When Buddy learns the truth, he travels to New York City to find his biological father, a cynical children’s book publisher who has no idea Buddy exists. His childlike enthusiasm, boundless optimism and chaotic misunderstanding of the real world create hilarious and heart-warming moments as he attempts to connect with a family he’s never known.
Packed with iconic scenes, unforgettable quotes, and a huge dose of festive spirit, Elf remains one of the most adored family films of the last 20 years.
It’s a Christmas film favourite that simply brings the holidays to life and gets you in the holiday mood.
