Review: Jack Black Elevates Paramount+’s Mediocre Holiday Comedy ‘Dear Santa’

Christmas movies are everywhere these days, right? It seems like filmmakers see them as a sure bet to keep the cash flowing. So, it’s no surprise that the Farrelly brothers have jumped on the bandwagon with their new movie, “Dear Santa,” now available on Paramount+. While it might not reach the iconic status of their hits like “There’s Something About Mary,” it’s definitely a solid addition to the holiday watch list.

The premise is pretty clever – imagine dyslexia causing a mix-up between Santa and Satan, leading to an 11-year-old writing a letter to the wrong guy. Jack Black shines in this devilishly fun comedy, adding a unique twist to the usual holiday fare.

So, if you’re looking for a light-hearted, festive flick to enjoy with your turkey and eggnog, give “Dear Santa” a try. It may not be an instant classic, but it’s definitely worth a watch during the holiday season.
