It needs very little introduction, this modern comedy gem was brought to life by actor turned director Jon Favreau, with the film itself boasting a well - assembled cast who hilariously gel together.
Headed by comedy fans favourite Will Ferrell (Step Brothers, Anchor Man and The Other Guys) he's supported by the likes of James Caan (The Godfather), Bob Newhart, Zooey Deschanel (Yes Man, 500 Days of Summer) and Mary Steenburgen.
Released in 2003, Elf has grown to become a world-wide success and it now a firm favourite in the run-up to Christmas.
Elf tells the story of Buddy (Ferrell), an orphan who snuck into Santa's sack ending up in the North Pole, where he grew up as an Elf, hilariously bigger than everyone.
Santa grants buddy his wish to return to New York City to find his birth father Walter (Caan) who has no idea Buddy was even born.
Falling in love with a human elf Jovie (Deschanel), Buddy unannounced moulds into the life and work of his unexpected scrooge father Walter, who now has to re-evaluate his own life.
As funny as it is festive, Elf is a Christmas film for the whole family to enjoy.
