"I like to smile, smiling's my favorite" Robert is back after a brief hiatus to explore the first major Christmas classic of the new millennium, Elf. Even though he's gone back and forth on it, Robert does consider Elf a great Christmas movie which works thanks to Will Ferrell's talent. Learn about how writer David Berenbaum was a movie obsessed Jewish child who also happened to love Christmas movies, how his brother Michael would work with Coppola and the Coen Brothers, how David's loneliness in LA inspired him to write Elf and how the script nearly became both Jim Carey and Chris Farley vehicles.
