Elf ( 2003)
Genre:
Comedy /
Family /
Fantasy
Tagline: This holiday, discover your
inner elf.
Plot Outline: Will Ferrell makes yet
another memorable splash on the big screen in Jon Favreau's
sweet and hilarious Christmas fable. Ferrell is Buddy, an
innocent figure who was raised as an elf in the North Pole
by his adoptive father, Papa Elf (Bob Newhart). When Buddy
discovers that he's actually a human being, he heads to New
York City to reunite with his biological father. The
trouble is that his dad, Walter (James Caan), is a
publishing executive who doesn't have time for anything
other than work. Buddy moves in with Walter and his family,
and proceeds to teach them a lesson or two about what being
a family really means. Meanwhile, he also falls head over
heels in love with the incredibly cute department store
clerk, Jovie (Zooey Deschanel). By the time Christmas Eve
rolls around, the general lack of spirit in the air
threatens to ground Santa for the big night. He must rely
on Buddy's expertise and overall enthusiasm to ensure that
Christmas will be saved once again. Favreau's film is
family entertainment at its finest, featuring a performance
by Ferrell that is at once innocent, tender, and
laugh-out-loud funny. A stellar supporting cast--including
Caan, Deschanel, Newhart, and Faizon Love--adds to the
film's already overabundant charm.

Trivia: When she first meets Buddy, Jovie

a collection of stories inspired from his time spent as an
elf in a department store. David's sister, Amy, also
appears in the film as James Caan's assistant, Deb.
Goofs: Continuity: When Walter and Emily
are talking in their room, and Walter is lying on the bed,
his legs change position between shots.
Quotes:
[
first lines]
Papa Elf
: Oh, hello. You're, uh, you're probably here about the
story. Elves love to tell stories. I-I'll bet you didn't
know that about elves. There's, uh, probably a lot of
things you didn't know about elves. Another, another
interesting, uh, elfism, uh, there are only three jobs
available to an elf. The first is making shoes at night
while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.
Disgruntled
Cobbler Elf
: Lazy bum! Couldn't even make a clog!
Papa Elf
: You can bake cookies in a tree. As you can imagine,
it's, uh, dangerous having an oven in an oak tree during
the dry season. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the
show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every
elf aspires to. And that is to build toys in Santa's
workshop.

Find out: why Will Ferrell's performance is a good one,

13 December 2003

As the delightful human who was raised by elves at the
north pole, Will Ferrell, the greatest new comic actor out,
walks a fine line between satire and genuineness.
If he played Buddy completely for laughs, the movie
would not imbue the audience with christmas spirit, and
make us forget our doubts for a magical hour and a half.
If he played Buddy completely subversively, poking
fun at the christmas myth, adults would perhaps have had a
few more laughs than they did.
The reason Ferrell's performance is one of the best
comic performances in recent memory, is that it serves both
these purposes: there is a hint of satire in Ferrell's
over-the-top enthusiasm, yet the innocence on his face
appears absolutely genuine. One of the greatest sources of
humour in the movie comes from actually believing Buddy has
the mind of a child.
Truly a remarkable thing. After this he goes on my
list of greatest comic actors.
My other favourite thing about this movie (which i
found absolutely magical) was exciting newcomer Zooey
Deschanel. She was absolutely radiant in this movie. I
would watch it again just to watch her. She played
William's sister in "Almost Famous" who leaves home to
become an airline hostess (and plays Simon &
Garfunkel's "America" to her mother to explain why she
must, in one of the movies's best scenes). She also played
one of the funniest characters in "The Good Girl" - Cheryl
who remedies her boredom with her job by insulting
customers without their understanding. I've now become a
pilgrim of hers, and will follow movies wherever she goes.
And believe me, i'm not usually this enthusastic! |
