For me, it's not Christmas without Buddy the Elf. Whether its Will Ferrell's madcap childishness, Zooey Deschanel's vocal chops, Ed Asner's streetwise Santa, Bob Newhart's ultra sweet Papa Elf or James Caan and Mary Steenburgen's on-screen marriage, this sentence was a perfect way to sneakily brag about ELF's positively-stacked cast. Enough words, it's drinking time.
