This is a feel-good film that brings unheeded Christmas cheer no matter what mood you find yourself in at the beginning. Completely silly and truly heartwarming, I don’t think I’d be able to go a year without watching this cracker. From the extremely genius actor/director/producer, Jon Favreau, this is a film about a misfit human/elf who is sent to New York to re-discover his 'inner human’, stumbling upon a few hiccups (or should I say burps) along his merry way. |
| This probably isn't too far removed from what school was actually like for Will Ferrell. |
Buddy is a character that everyone, even Scrooge and the Grinch no doubt, could find a soft spot for in their heart. Excitable, loving and completely sociably inept, you’ll spend the whole film in fits of laughter and totally cringing, but never ever falling out of love with this elf-ified BFG. It’s no surprise either, with the god of American comedy, Will Ferrell, bringing the character to life, and the adorable Zooey Deschanel making an appearance beside him too. It’s a wholly charming, sat-in-a-blanket-with-the-family Christmas must-see film that won’t be coming off my festive film list for many years to come. I think it’s fair to say, good things do occasionally come in big packages.
