Will Ferrell stars as Buddy, an elf who is, well, different from the other elves. When Papa Elf (Bob Newhart) informs Buddy that he was adopted, he sets out to find his real father (James Caan). A modern Christmas classic, thanks to Ferrell's endearing performance as Buddy ("Son of a nutcracker!"), whose childlike Christmas spirit softens the most cynical of hearts. ("Santa, HERE? I know him, I know him!"). Rated PG
