It stars Will Ferrell who plays the role of one of Santa’s elves who doesn’t fit in because he is a human and cannot do the same tasks as the other elves. He then goes on an adventure to find his birth father in New York City. “Elf” is full of comical scenes and has many different aspects that make the movie creative and Christmas-like. One aspect is how the movie takes place mainly in  New York City and shows some of the sites in the city like Central Park. This helps make the movie more realistic instead of just having it animated like a lot of other Christmas movies.
