Buddy (Will Farrell) is different from all of Santa's other elves. For one thing, he's 'cotton-headed ninny muggins' when it comes to making toys. For another, he 6'3". And the real clincher: he's human! So one special December, Buddy sets off on a holiday adventure to New York City in quest of his real dad. How Buddy finds his father (James Cann) and the meaning of Christmas is a joyous, jaunty, sweet-as-a-candy-cane gift for everyone who loves bright contemporary comedy - and timeless all-family classics.
