Christmas family-comedy from star Will Ferrell and director Jon Favreau. Tells the tale of young Buddy (Ferrell) who, as a child, falls into Santa's sack on Christmas Eve and is accidentally taken to the North Pole. There, he is raised as a toy-making elf by Santa's helpers, but as he grows into a man, he can't shake the nagging feeling that he doesn't belong. Buddy vows to visit Manhattan and find his real dad (James Caan), but doesn't expect to find love in the form of a department store employee (Zooey Deschanel).
