For his sophomore stab at directing, actor/writer/director Jon Favreau (Swingers, Made), took on this holiday comedy starring Saturday Night Live-alum Will Ferrell. Ferrell stars as Buddy, a regular-sized man who was raised as an elf by Santa Claus (Edward Asner). When the news is finally broken to Buddy that he's not a real elf, he decides to head back to his place of birth, New York City, in search of his biological family. Elf also stars James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Zooey Deschanel, and Bob Newhart.

Illumination and Universal Pictures present their funny, heartwarming, and visually stunning take on Dr Seuss' beloved Christmas classic. The Grinch is a despicable grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl in a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism.
