Buddy (Will Ferrell) is different from all of Santa`s other elves. For one thing, he`s "a cotton-headed ninny muggins" when it comes to making toys. For another, he`s 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 Caan) 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.
