Editor’s note: Our short take on Dear Santa (2024): Firmly a Comedy, Fantasy piece, but with a personal touch. Under Bobby Farrelly’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Performances (especially Jack Black, Robert Timothy Smith, Keegan-Michael Key) give the story human stakes. The 1h 48m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Reception is mixed; it works best if you’re in the mood for its specific tone. The marketing line “Jack Black is NOT Santa.” isn’t just flair; it’s fairly accurate. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
