Dear Santa review Jack Black plays Satan in mediocre Christmas comedy
Briefly

The film's premise is intriguing: a kid mistakenly addresses his letter to Satan instead of Santa, leading to chaos. However, this great idea fails to deliver.
The release strategy for 'Dear Santa' lacks promotion, pointing to a lack of confidence in the film's success despite its strong cast, including Jack Black.
Director Bobby Farrelly's struggle with the film’s tone results in confusion, as it wavers between a heartwarming kids' movie and a darker adult comedy about a devil.
Jack Black's recent success in family-friendly films highlights the disconnect with the darker themes attempted in 'Dear Santa', which ultimately undermines its potential as a holiday comedy.
