Elf is the story of Buddy (Will Ferrell), an orphan who as a baby, crawled into Santa’s bag and accidentally went to the North Pole. One of the elves (Bob Newhart) decides to raise him as his own. 30 years later, Buddy is the biggest elf in the toyshop and not very good at making toys. He accidentally overhears that not only is he not an elf, but he is a human and his father is in New York City. Not only that, he is on the “naughty list.” Hoping to find him anyway for a special reunion, Buddy begins his journey to New York for Christmas.

If the family comedy Mrs. Doubtfire were a human being, it would be old enough to drink come this fall. That is to say, everyone involved in the movie is much older now.

Even so, it’s being reported that a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire is being attempted once again. Original star Robin Williams and director Chris Columbus are both attached to the project, and Elf screenwriter David Berenbaum is penning the script.
