Review: One of the greatest holiday movies of all time. Elf tells the story of Buddy, a human raised by elves. Buddy struggles to fit in with the elves and then he is told that he is not an elf. Santa Claus then says that most people have been failing to believe in Santa Claus, but what shocks Buddy the most is that his biological father, Walter Hobbs, is on the naughty list. Buddy must get his father off the naughty list, save Christmas and get his father to accept the fact that he loves him. The movie is a great way to get into the Christmas Spirit with the family. And as many of you know the best way to spread the Christmas Spirit is “singing for loud all to hear.” This movie gets 4 out of 4 stars.
