All of the unbelievable aspects of "Dear Santa" would be forgivable if it was just funny or sweet. It's neither.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 2, 2024

There’s just nothing all that inventive despite the broad rule-free canvas.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 26, 2024

If Christmas movies can’t be good, they can usually at least be pleasant distractions. Dear Santa is neither. It’s a regrettable film, one that wasn’t ever worth the wordplay that started it.

| Original Score: D | Nov 26, 2024

It should hardly come as a revelation that Black’s hardworking comedic efforts are the film’s saving grace.
