Conoce el reparto de Elf

Estas vacaciones, descubre tu Elfo interior.

Una Nochebuena, en un orfanato, un bebé gatea dentro del saco de regalos de Santa Claus y acaba en el taller de éste en el Polo Norte. Aunque allí es adoptado y educado como un elfo, al crecer, se hace tres veces más grande que los habitantes de la región. Parece claro que nunca encajará en el mundo de los elfos; lo que necesita es encontrar a su verdadera familia. Con esta intención viaja a Nueva York, donde descubrirá que la vida no consiste sólo en patinar y comer dulces; así que vuelve a sentirse otra vez fuera lugar. Consigue, no obstante, encontrar a su padre, Walter, un editor de libros infantiles adicto al trabajo y al dinero que figura en la lista negra de Santa Claus. Buddy también encuentra a una nueva madre y descubre que su hermanastro de diez años no cree en los elfos ni en Santa Claus ni en las Navidades. En realidad todo el mundo parece haber olvidado el verdadero significado de la Navidad.

Cast completo de Elf

James Caan

Walter

James Caan delivered a memorable performance as Walter Hobbs in the Christmas comedy film "Elf" (2003), bringing a layer of complexity to the character that complemented the whimsical nature of the story. As Buddy's biological father, Caan portrayed Walter with a stern and business-like demeanor, embodying the workaholic executive whose life is devoid of the magic and cheer that Buddy, played by Will Ferrell, exudes. Caan's portrayal is nuanced; he effectively balances Walter's initial detachment and frustration with his son's eccentricities against the eventual warmth and affection that begin to surface. His transformation from a cynical, no-nonsense father to someone who rediscovers the joy of family and the holiday spirit is both believable and endearing, providing a satisfying character arc that contributes to the film's heartwarming message. Caan's performance is a testament to his versatility as an actor, as he anchors the fantastical elements of the movie with a grounded, relatable portrayal of a man reconnecting with his long-lost son and learning to embrace the unexpected wonder he brings into his life.

Zooey Deschanel

Jovie

In the holiday classic "Elf," Zooey Deschanel delivers a charming and memorable performance as Jovie, a disillusioned department store worker who captures the heart of Will Ferrell's character, Buddy the Elf. Deschanel's portrayal of Jovie is a delightful blend of deadpan humor and burgeoning warmth, providing the perfect foil to Buddy's relentless optimism and childlike wonder. Her performance is highlighted by her character's evolution from a cynical and overworked singleton to someone who rediscovers the magic of Christmas and love, thanks to Buddy's infectious enthusiasm. Deschanel's vocals add a touch of magic to scenes such as the unforgettable duet in the shower, where her rendition of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" showcases her character's blossoming affection for Buddy. Her nuanced acting, combined with an undercurrent of quirky charm, makes Jovie an endearing and relatable character, contributing significantly to the film's enduring appeal as a modern Christmas favorite.
