Eric Harper is an amateur inventor- and a recent widower. His family is spending their first Christmas without his late wife and his children, Kasey and Ryan, are understandably bummed. On Christmas Eve, he finally succeeds in inventing a prototype energy source. A trio of bumbling criminals kidnap him to get the chip. At the same time, a disaffected Elf is left behind on his house by Santa Claus by accident (?) Kasey thinks he's there to grant her [[ChristmasMiracle Christmas Wish]] and asks him to bring her father home. He tries, and HilarityEnsues. In the end, he'll need [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman a change of clothes]] before everything is resolved.

* ChristmasElves: Played by Small Persons in this film. The one who becomes Elf-Man is unhappy about his duty (reindeer Poop Scooper.)
* GrannyClassic: Eric's mother, only referred to as Granma,who is a bit ditzy but otherwise wise and courageous.
* IAmNotShazam: The Elf doesn't like being mistaken for a Hobbit, a troll, and (especially not) [[BerserkButton a leprechaun!]]
* InstantCostumeChange: Happens when [[spoiler:Elf-Man gets a power upgrade. See The Power Of Love.]]

* ThePowerOfLove: Eric and Amy's kissing under the mistletoe [[spoiler:not only restores Elf-Man to normal, it gives him a new costume and new powers!]]
* ShoutOut: To ''Film/{{Home Alone}}'', plus superhero films in general.
* SuperZeroes: Elf-Man is one, until he gets serious.
* ThoseTwoGuys: The criminal trio: Mickey, an ex-Navy Seal who was the only survivor of an encounter with a troll (supposedly) and who seems to suffer from PTSD (Combs); Jean-Pierre, "The Worlds Most Famous Master Of Disguise" (hardly) and Big Bucket, the ScaryBlackMan except he's more of a Funny Black Fat Man.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Elf-Man's is mistletoe(?) [[spoiler:It drains his magic and almost kills him, until he's saved by The Power Of Love.]]
* TheUnreveal: We never find out if [[spoiler: Santa left the elf behind on purpose, or if he was going to come back and pick him up.]]
** Similarly, the film [[NeverSayDie doesn't openly state that the children's mother is dead.]]
