There is a lot of guesswork and hope when it comes to releasing a movie ... In Elf, Will Ferrell plays Buddy, an ordinary human who crawled into Santa Claus' present bag as a baby and was raised ...
Buddy's enthusiasm for Christmas is extreme, even when compared to his elf "peers," so it's understandable that the festive spirit of the movie oozes from the screen and into moviegoers' hearts.
