Lovable Dysfunctional Holiday Families4 of 12
The Hobbses in Elf (2003)
Buddy (Will Ferrell) has got some daddy issues. After having been inadvertently taken from an orphanage as a baby, Buddy spends his formative years in the North Pole thinking he is an elf. Eventually, he learns that he was given up for adoption by Walter Hobbs (James Caan) and Susan Wells. And so, Buddy's off to meet his birth father, who is now an executive in New York City. Turns out his dad's a real jerk — he's on Santa's naughty list — and not entirely open to welcoming a son into his heart or busy schedule.
