The latest Farrelly comedy, Dear Santa, is the wildest holiday treat of the season, featuring none other than Jack Black as – wait for it – SATAN. Yes, you heard that right. This time, the jolly old Santa has stepped aside, and the Devil himself is taking the reins. Here’s everything you need to know!
The Plot: A Misspelled Wish with Diabolical Consequences
In Dear Santa, we follow young Liam Turner (played by Robert Timothy Smith), a kid who wholeheartedly believes in Santa Claus. Full of holiday spirit, Liam writes a letter to Santa. But thanks to an epic spelling mistake, his wish ends up in the hands of Satan instead. And who better to play the Prince of Darkness than Jack Black, bringing his signature humor and devilish charm?
So, Satan – complete with horns and a rock-and-roll grin – decides to grant Liam’s wish in his own twisted way. What follows is a mix of slapstick chaos and holiday mayhem, courtesy of the one and only Farrelly brothers!
Who’s Behind This Wild Christmas Adventure?
Dear Santa is written and directed by comedy legends Bobby and Peter Farrelly, known for cult classics like Dumb and Dumber and There’s Something About Mary. This time, they’re putting their comedic genius to work on the holiday season, promising a hilarious blend of absurdity and heartwarming moments. Get ready for a Christmas comedy like no other, packed with Farrelly-style humor and feel-good vibes.
