Description
A human baby accidently ends up at the North Pole and grows up among the elf community. Buddy, as he comes to be known, knows that he's "special". When he's 30, Buddy learns from Santa that he's really a human. He decides to go in search of his father, to find out where he belongs. He walks to Manhattan, and is immediately run over by a cab. His father at first rejects him and Buddy ends up in a department store where other elves are working. But all the while, things are looking bad for Santa Claus. When Santa crashes his sleigh in Central Park, it's Buddy's moment to shine.

A man raised by Christmas elves goes to New York.
Will Ferrell as a man-child can't go too far wrong at the worst of times, and this movie in particular is his best version of the character. Sweet, absurd, and unrelentingly joyful.

2022 movie #197. 2003. I never saw this because I don't like Will Farrell. But it turns out this is a pretty good movie. And nobody told me that Mary Steenburgen and Zooey Deschanel were in it. The 7th highest grossing movie of 2003.
