(2003, Jon Favreau)  “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!” Learning why he never fit in with the other toy-makers in Santa’s workshop, Will Ferrell’s overgrown sprite travels from the North Pole through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest and the Lincoln Tunnel in search of absentee dad James Caan. “One of those rare Christmas comedies that has a heart, a brain and a wicked sense of humor, and it charms the socks right off the mantelpiece.” – Roger Ebert. Approx. 97 mins. 35mm.
