Elf
A family comedy starring Will Ferrell as Buddy, a man who as
a child crawled into Santa’s sack and was raised by Santa’s elves in the North
Pole.
As he grows up Buddy knows he’s different to all the other
elves and after finding out that he has a father in New York, he sets out to
find him and learn who he really is. But with his father not knowing he exists
Buddy faces a tough time convincing him of who he is and who raised him.
Along the way Buddy gets a job as an elf in a department
store where he meets Jovie and as they get to know each other they fall in love
and end up helping Santa as the lack of Christmas spirit in New York prevents
his sleigh from working and without Santa there is no Christmas.
A heart warming
comedy which I’ve heard a lot of good things about, but had never had the
chance to watch. I can’t say it’ll be one that I will always want to watch to
get me in the Christmas spirit, but I’m glad I can say that I’ve now watched
it.
Battle of the bulbs
A festive family comedy about 2 neighbours who compete to
win top prize at the annual Christmas decoration competition.
As soon as December begins Bob Wallace (Daniel Stern, Home
Alone) enlists his family to help put up the Christmas tree and decorate the house
– both inside and out displaying as many decorations and lights as possible.
With his house the brightest on the street Bob is confident
the prize is his until an old friend and his family move in across the street
and decide to get in on the competition sparking rivalry between the families.
As each house displays a variety of decorations the families
go all out to beat each other, but with the young son and daughter striking up
a friendship, will their parent’s war ruin it?
I found this movie enjoyable to watch as it got me into the
festive spirit in the run up to Christmas.
Annie Claus is coming to town
A charming tale following Santa’s daughter Annie as she
takes her first trip away from the North Pole.
With the decision of whether to carry on the family business
on her shoulders, Annie spends time getting to know people away from the North
Pole when she takes a trip to Los Angeles.
Staying at the Candy Cane motel she makes friends with the
owner Lucy, takes a job at a struggling local toy store hoping to help out Ted
– the young, good looking shop owner and directs the local Christmas pageant
for Lucy’s daughter Mia.
But as she begins to fall for Dean, a local lawyer who
seems too good to be true, she has to decide whether or not to return to the
North Pole.
I really enjoyed this movie as it was so sweet that it kept
you smiling all the way through.
Mistletoe over Manhattan
As Christmas approaches Mrs Claus feels that her husband
Santa is losing his Christmas spirit and sets out to find it in New York – a
city which holds special memories for them both.
But while she’s there Mrs Claus meets a local policeman who
confides in her about his pending divorce and after taking a shine to her,
invites her to babysit for his children.
Mrs Claus easily fits in with the family and as she spends
time with Joe’s wife Lucy and children Bailey & Travis, she discovers that
Joe & Lucy still love each other and resolves to re-connect them in the
spirit of Christmas.
This was a really festive heart warming movie which I found
enjoyable to watch.
