    What I love about the film is that they didn't make the wife a jaleous, mean character just to stirr some more drama into it. She is so genuinely nice.

    When Michael is trying to walk away from Buddy, there’s a guy in the far background that saw the camera and then immediately went back inside his house. Also, all the ppl in the background of New York weren’t actors lol 😂 they were all regular New Yorkers

    I love Elf because it is its own story but it references some classic Christmas shows & books in a respectful & nostalgic way. In some ways it's a typical "fish out of water" comedy but it adds heartfelt Christmas stuff in just the right proportion. And the premise that set the action in motion was original, being about a guy that grew up with elves & acts weird not because he's crazy but because he's just innocent like a child due to that isolation.

    I"m not Christian nor a fan of Will Ferrell, but I love this movie! It's silly in the just the right way, and Will pulls off an adult character who's supremely naive. The scene at the beginning when he sitting in Bob Newhart's lap had me on the floor. Likewise the first time he thought he was going to see Santa and melted down like a little boy, but then grills the actor for not being the real Santa.
    I also like a skit he did with a 3yo girl who played his landlord who swore like a sailor.

    My foster boys didn't believe in Santa, they were 5 and 9, the 5 year old broke my heart so my brain went into super mom mode and I stopped them and I said wait, no one's told you yet? They were like told us what? I said no, of course Santa can't get to everyone's house with presents, that's just what the stories become, Santa comes and he gives things you can't unwrap, one year he gave me courage, the next he gave me motivation to work to get smarter, one year he helped me find a best friend, things like that, and they were SO relieved to know Santa hadn't forgotten about them, the other kids just thought he brought all the presents.

    "You sit on a throne of lies!"
    Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Meghan Black.
    Method Director Fact: Director Jon Favreau used a remote control to trigger the Jack In The Box toys to get the startled reactions from Will Ferrell.
    Casting Notes Fact: The elf Ming Ming, who appears briefly in the beginning of the film, is played by Peter Billingsley, who starred as Ralphie Parker in the classic holiday film A Christmas Story (1983).
    Inspired Costumes Fact: The design for Santa's Workshop as well as the elf uniforms come from Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964). The elf uniforms completely mirror the ones from the television special. Most of the animals in the North Pole are also designed to look like the same form of stop-motion animation used in that movie.
    Guerilla Filmmaking Fact: On the final day of shooting in New York City, it was just director Jon Favreau, Will Ferrell, and a camera man driving around the city looking for locations to shoot. They would jump out and ask pedestrians if they would be willing to be extras for some quick cash, while Ferrell paraded around acting like Buddy. Much of the montage when Buddy first arrives in New York City was filmed then, such as when he is getting his shoes shined, and jumping between traffic. Several minor traffic accidents occurred when Will Ferrell walked through the Lincoln Tunnel in his costume, because people were so surprised (and distracted from their driving) to see him wearing an elf outfit.

    I was also 8 when I asked my mom (fully knowing the answer, I know I was seeing what she would say) if Santa was real. - My advice is to say what my mother said to me: Santa is a spirit of giving and when someone gives a Christmas gift, they are becoming Santa, so I become Santa and you become Santa. - In this way, I NEVER stopped believing in Santa (and I knew my mother would not lie to me, so win-win).
