Dear Santa marks the Farrelly brothers' return to comedy, with Jack Black as the festive devil. Scheduled for release on December 18, 2024 on Paramount+.

The Farrelly brothers, masters of zany comedy, return with Dear Santa, an original Christmas comedy directed by Bobby Farrelly and co-written with Peter Farrelly and Ricky Blitt. Blending offbeat humor and festive spirit, the film boasts a remarkable cast including Jack Black, Robert Timothy Smith, Keegan-Michael Key, and even Post Malone. This new work promises to revisit Christmas traditions with a dose of irony and a wacky scenario: a young boy mistakenly sends his Christmas letter to Satan, provoking the appearance of a demonic Jack Black.

Where and when can you see Dear Santa in France?

Dear Santa will be broadcast on Paramount+ from December 18, 2024.

Synopsis: A young boy writing his annual letter to Santa mixes up the letters and sends it to Satan instead.

With its absurdist tone and irreverent humor, Dear Santa is aimed primarily at fans of eccentric comedies, particularly those who appreciate the works of the Farrelly brothers(Dumb & Dumber, Mary at Any Price). Fans of Jack Black, known for his hilarious performances and wacky energy, will find a performance that promises to be memorable. Families looking for a comic alternative to traditional Christmas films may also be seduced, although the tone may be a little too wacky for younger children.

The film seems to follow in the footsteps of parodic comedies such as Mr. Jack's Strange Christmas, but with a more adult touch. The cast, a mix of established talents like Keegan-Michael Key and new faces like Robert Timothy Smith, offers a diversity that could appeal to a wide audience.

Dear Santa promises to be an atypical Christmas comedy, combining the Farrelly brothers' absurdist humor with Jack Black's eccentric charisma. This film could appeal to those looking for a refreshing alternative to the classics of the genre, while offering a joyful, offbeat satire of end-of-year traditions. A must-see for lovers of laughter and festive chaos.
