Will Ferrell’s portrayal of a huge, goofy human-who-thinks-he’s-an-elf is perfect, and the fish-out-of-water story is fast-paced and has all the elements of a perfect Christmas movie: A redemption-from-cynicism subplot, romance, a message of acceptance and tolerance, and even an appearance by Santa Claus himself.
