Elf (USA 2003)

To dive into the Christmas mood, the regular audience at deciBel has chosen to watch Jon Favreau’s Elf. This was one of the first attempts behind the camera by the now renownd director of Ironman 1,2 and 3 and Chef. Elf is a classic Christmas film, it is packed with funny moments. It has an original take on the Santa fairy-tale and it succeeds in pleasing both children and adults. Will Farell plays Buddy, a normal size human being who is ‘adopted’ by Santa and raised as an elf. Once Buddy discovers the truth about his origins and decides to head back to Earth to discover his true parenting.
