    Harbor Theater is offering a free holiday showing of the movie “Elf” (2003) on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m. Free small bags of popcorn will be handed out to anyone under 18.

    ELF is a movie full of Yuletide cheer, a spirited, good natured family comedy, and it benefits greatly from Will Ferrell, who stars as Buddy, a regular-sized man who was raised as an elf by Santa Claus (Edward Asner). When the news is finally broken to Buddy that he's not a real elf, he decides to head back to his place of birth, New York City, in search of his biological family.

    “Elf” also stars James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Zooey Deschanel and Bob Newhart.

    As a non-profit, independent cinema, Harbor Theater’s mission is to serve the community as a cultural asset. The theater is planning at least three to four free movies a year for the whole community, plus four free school shows for the students of district AOS 98.

    “’Elf’ is a Christmas comedy that's as sweetnatured and goofily amusing as its title character.” = John Hazelton, Screen International
