Featured review
Stumbling upon the 2024 movie "Dear Santa" by random chance, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance. I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it.
Writers Ricky Blitt, Peter Farrelly and Dan Ewen put together a fairly entertaining script. The contents of the storyline definitely were original, and there were some good moments throughout the course of the 107 minutes that the movie ran for.
Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with actors Jack Black and Keegan-Michael Key. The acting performances in the movie were good.
It was actually my first time to see who Post Malone is. Sure, I knew of him by name, but I never have seen the joker before now as he showed up in this movie. And I can't say that I had been missing out on anything, except a dude with ridiculous face tattoos and equally ridiculous music. I can't claim that it was a big deal for me that the guy was in the movie, no Sir, not at all.
However, the movie was just lacking something to truly make it outstanding. If was as if the movie was missing some crucial ingredient, it just felt a bit underwhelming. As such, this is not going to be a returning Christmas classic for me. In fact, I doubt that I will ever return to watch it again for a second time.
My rating of director Bobby Farrelly's 2024 movie "Dear Santa" lands on a five out of ten stars.
