ELF

Netflix gives you the option of moving movies around in your rental queue. Since Elf was near the very bottom, of a rental queue with about 367 movies on it, I figured I wouldn't see it for years. So, I bumped it up to number one. Got around to watching it last night. I liked it! Will Ferrell is excellent in his role. The story starts with Santa stopping at an orphanage one Christmas night. One of the babies, crawls into his sack of toys, unknown to him. And, he takes him back to the North Pole. The elves end up raising him. But, there are some problems. "Buddy", as the elves call him, shoots up to 6' 3" tall. Later on, he finds out, surprise, surprise, he isn't an elf at all. He's human. And, his father is still alive. So, he takes off to New York City, to find his long lost father, who's played by James Caan. And, he still dressed as an Elf. I don't want to give away too much more. I will probably buy this one, and we will watch it over and over again for many Christmases.
