Iron Man, Vol. 2 by Jon Favreau
2243
Light-hearted, surreal, and well done despite some rather strange special effects. Will Ferrell is almost believable as the oversized elf who learns that he is human and wreaks havoc in a New York department store.
Exciting towards the end, amusing in several places, and even a little poignancy. The contrast is well made between workaholics who ignore their families and those who love to work and also love life and people. Rating PG due to a few minor swearwords and innuendoes; but perhaps of more concern to some parents is the questions raised about the reality of Santa.

A human raised as an elf (Buddy; Will Ferrell) by Papa Elf (Bob Newhart) sets out to find his real father (Walter; James Cahn) and help him to reclaim the Christmas spirit. He also helps Santa revive the sagging Christmas spirit around the world. Even while the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ and Him coming down to save sinful mankind, this film shares a funny and happy message for the holiday season. Highly recommend.
