CUMBERLAND – Cumberland High School graduates Peter and Bobby John Farrelly, known for making movies including “There’s Something About Mary” and “Dumb and Dumber,” have a new movie out this week, “Dear Santa.”
The movie is the Farrelly brothers’ first collaboration since “Dumb and Dumber To” in 2014, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Starring Jack Black, directed by Bobby and written by Peter with Ricky Blitt, this not-your-usual-Christmas movie untangles what happens when a boy writing a letter to Santa makes a typo and accidentally addresses it to “Satan.”
Black appears, and comical complications ensue.
How to watch ‘Dear Santa’
The holiday hijinks is available for streaming on Paramount+.
What is ‘Dear Santa’ about?
Liam Turner wants to prove to his friends that Santa Claus exists, so he writes to the jolly old elf, albeit with a critical spelling error, and winds up summoning Satan.
Bobby Farrelly told Entertainment Weekly they cast Jack Black in the role because they wanted someone who could play “diabolical, but in a fun way,” adding that Black was the first and only choice. “There’s a little bit of mischievous to him at all times, but he’s eminently likable, and that’s just Jack,” Bobby Farrelly told the magazine. “We never wanted to make it a horror movie or something like that. We wanted it to be comical. … And Jack was the perfect guy.”
Who else is in ‘Dear Santa’?
With Black (“School of Rock,” “Nacho Libre,” “King Kong”) in the starring role as Satan, “Dear Santa” also features Robert Timothy Smith (“Wolfs”), Keegan-Michael Key (“Schmigadoon!” “Abbott Elementary,” “Wonka”), Brianne Howey (“Ginny & Georgia”) and even a cameo by singer Post Malone (playing himself).
