Elf
2003
1h 37mPG
Buddy the elf goes to New York to find his dad and treats the whole city like the North Pole. Will Ferrell, 2003, and it is on Prime and Max. If the room can only agree on one movie, it is often this.
Comedy on Prime Video
Prime has the teen comedies people still quote. Mean Girls, Booksmart, Easy A is on Paramount+, and Napoleon Dynamite is here being Napoleon Dynamite. Idiocracy is the sour one. Elf is here too, if December is leaking into the funny pile.
