"Elf" trailer Video

Video description: Buddy is a displaced elf with an identity crisis. He lives at the North Pole but he doesn't really belong there. One day he decides to set off for New York City, in search of his roots and his real father. But Buddy soon learns that life in the big city is not all ice skating and sugarplums. He finds his father, who is a workaholic publisher of children's books with a place on Santa's naughty list. He also discovers a new mom and a 10-year-old half-brother, who doesn't believe in Christmas or elves or Santa. In fact, everyone in New York seems to have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. Buddy takes it upon himself to win over his family, realize his destiny, and ultimately save Christmas for New York and the world. Directed by Jon Favreau. Starring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Bob Newhart, Edward Asner, Mary Steenburgen, Zooey Deschanel, and Amy Sedaris.

Super Santa in "Naughty" by Mike Bell and “Christmas Night” by Jim Tyer, Sumo wrestlers in Santa suits, mechanized reindeer, and gigantic radioactive snowmen.

But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata (Connie Nielsen), who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten (Oliver Platt) to the local police begins to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's Christmas stocking - and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises. Directed by Harold Ramis.
