On Saturday, December 20 at 2:00 p.m., the Towns of Southport, Boothbay Harbor, and Boothbay are sponsors for the holiday classic “Elf” (2003, PG, 1h 37m). Admission to the film is free, along with a free large popcorn per family.

Buddy (Will Ferrell) was accidentally transported to the North Pole as a toddler and raised to adulthood among Santa's elves. Unable to shake the feeling that he doesn't fit in, the adult Buddy travels to New York, in full elf uniform, in search of his real father. As it happens, this is Walter Hobbs (James Caan), a cynical businessman. After a DNA test proves this, Walter reluctantly attempts to start a relationship with the childlike Buddy with increasingly chaotic results.

“Elf stands tall with the feature being as funny today as it was in 2003.”— Carson Timar, ButteredPopcorn

“Bob Newhart, Ed Asner, Peter Dinklage, Zooey Deschanel, Mary Steenburgen, and, most surprisingly, James Caan nailing their supporting turns. Sometimes at Christmas, you just want to laugh.” – Kevin Fallon, The Daily Beast
