    When Jack Black laughs and it turns into a goat bleat… that’s cinema.

    friendly reminder that i hate the devil. holy shit, that kids teeth were the funniest thing ever, i could not stop laughing. jack black plays himself, who’s surprised? why the hell was he making pedophile jokes to this 11 year old boy. and yet again, why has he got this little boy alone in his hotel room. how do you have three wishes and don’t wish for your dead brother back.

    It’s a weird mess of a Christmas movie starring Jack Black as Satan👹🎅🏻. Of course I dug it🎁. That 3rd act was a CHOICE🔥. People are gonna hate this😂

    Spoiler alert! But I feel this movie sends a very poor message about trauma and healing. First off it’s dropped like a bomb that a brother died in an accident and that’s why the parents are arguing and there’s a divide with parenting roles. But then at the very end the parents make amends and start the healing process and are all happy again. Turns out it’s cause satan brought the brother back to life and the tragedy actually never happened so the movie could make a dumb joke. To me at least, this is in very poor taste because it tells the audience the only way a broken family can fix what’s broken and be brought back together after a horrific tragedy is for the tragedy to have actually never happened. Maybe that’s just me but I think that ruined the whole movie for me.

    The streaming era has truly brought us to the Golden Age of Movies That Feel Like Parodies From Tropic Thunder.

    Up there with one of the worst endings in recent memory. Burn it to the ground.

    Dear Santa is a film that should have heeded Don Henleys advice and stopped riding fences for so long. It needed to pick a lane and stick to it. Instead, it wants to appeal to the Rated R crowd and the PG crowd, and because of that, I fear it may appeal to neither. It’s not raunchy enough or hilarious and lacks any sentimentality or heart warming messages. It’s just a movie that exists and one that will probably be forgotten on streaming in a week or so if not sooner.

    Jack black and Ben stiller are great. Everything about this movie is very disappointing. Shit writing that detracts an inherently funny concept. Why are we acting like dyslexia is Down syndrome 💀

    Vacation Movie (12/14) (If you’re confused, find the list with a similar title): I feel bad for the Christmas music that’s played here for having any amount of association with this movie. Now why did I choose to watch this? Ever since my Adam Sandler project, I made a personal vow to try and watch actor/director’s movies in release order for the marathons. So, why am I breaking that personal vow for this movie? Simple. I was on vacation for…

    This is my least favourite “movie” of all time, genuinely the worst of one of the worst types of movies, that being generic annual holiday movies, with some of the least funny “jokes” ever. The one moment I exhaled ,without complete pure misery, was a scene when Jack Black is dancing in a skin tight latex outfit. Awful awful awful awful awful awful awful awful. DO NOT WATCH UNLESS YOU WANT ONE LESS REASON TO LIVE.

    A kid’s treat at best… Nothing special, typical Christmas kids movie… What happened to our glorious Christmas day films man… They don’t make movies like home alone anymore… Forced comedy…tries to be unhinged but at best gets a chuckle the whole movie… I felt so cringed at times… I didn’t want to finish it… But jack Black is sole reason I watched the movie tbh… Lazy writing…lazy dialogues.. A mediocre comedy and cringe worthy Not a good movie at all

    The movie is not bad, a good comedy. I watched it after watching Tenacious D and this movie was too normal after that

    Jack Black was very funny and made the film worth a watch. The juxtaposition of Santa and Satan still cracks me up.

    Jack black saved my life. I went into this movie expecting the worse, it was endearing at times. Mainly due to how bad it was, but Jack black and the child had decent comedic chemistry. Along with the plot being good, tho basic.
