                Elf is one of the greatest Christmas movies to have ever been made. Yes, it is even better than A Christmas Story. This movie is about an orphan, named Buddy, who is accidentally kidnapped by Santa Clause as a baby. He spends the next thirty or so years living among Santa’s elves. Eventually, he learns that he is not an elf, but a human and embarks on a journey to find his biological father in New York City, who happens to be on the naughty list. Buddy soon finds out that New York City is much different from the North Pole and has a hard time adjusting to its culture. What contributes to this movie’s greatness is that Buddy the Elf is played by Will Farrell. To me, Will Farrell was perfect in this movie because he is so ridiculous. He seems to have no problem with acting like a child in his movies, and that is why he is one of my favorite actors. My favorite part was when Buddy got into a fight with a mall Santa. Here’s how it happened: the mall where Buddy worked hired a man dressed as Santa Clause to entertain the kids while their parents shopped. As Buddy approached him, he realized that he was a fake and called him out on it in front of at least fifty kids. Then he stole his beard which led the fake Santa to tackle him into a large table of Legos. The fight quickly escalated, which resulted in Buddy getting fired and banned from the store. I also liked the part where he got into a fight with a little person, and lost, after accusing him of being and elf. It is arguable that Elf is the single greatest Christmas movie of al time.
