Dear Santa
Likeable 6th grader Liam writes to Santa asking him to prove that he's real. But Liam is dyslexic and accidentally sends his letter to Satan instead, who shows up at Liam's house, excited to have his first fanboy letter and wanting a little of Liam's soul.
Critics Sentiment
Liam dances on stage with Emma and Post Malone
Liam finds his dead brother Spencer resurrected for Christmas
The film crashes from moderate satisfaction to harsh criticism between the Asmodeus revelation and Spencer's resurrection, dropping 1.8 points as the ending was widely panned.
Dear Santa starts with a clever premise that generates moderate enthusiasm, peaks during Jack Black's energetic performance and the Post Malone concert sequence, then steadily declines through confusing plot developments. The film ultimately collapses with its resurrection ending that reviewers found deeply offensive and poorly conceived.
