Farrelly Brothers Release New Christmas Movie

The Farrelly brothers have returned with a new holiday comedy titled 'Dear Santa,' starring Jack Black as a devilish figure who mistakenly arrives after a dyslexic boy sends a letter meant for Santa. The film blends family-friendly humor with over-the-top antics, as the boy, Liam, wishes for things that lead him into comedic troubles with Satan, who offers three holiday wishes in exchange for his soul. The film has received mixed reviews, with some critics labeling it as one of the year's worst due to its reliance on bathroom humor rather than clever storytelling. Bobby Farrelly emphasized Jack Black's suitability for the role, noting his ability to blend a mischievous charm with likability, essential for a family movie. 'Dear Santa' is currently streaming on Paramount+ and was available for digital purchase starting November 25. Despite the film's shortcomings, it attempts to capture a festive spirit through its unique premise and humor.
