When young Buddy falls into Santa's gift sack on Christmas Eve, he's transported back to the North Pole and raised as a toy-making elf by Santa's helpers. But as he grows into adulthood, he can't shake the nagging feeling that he doesn't belong. Buddy vows to visit Manhattan and find his real dad, a workaholic.
This is certainly a must watch for me every year. Mainly because it's really just a really fun movie. The humor generally always lands and it has that Christmas magic feel that I hope for in a Christmas movie. Will Ferrell really brings so much to the role and makes this a Christmas classic. It's not perfect. It feels like it rushes some elements in it's story, but still it's great 8/10
