Having Jack Black and Ben Stiller in a comedy feels just like old times. While the latter makes only a brief appearance, it’s nice that Dear Santa feels so carefree and fun with its humor. It’s been a while since a film aimed at younger audiences had me chuckling along as well, but Dear Santa manages to do that. Whether it’s because of the charming cast — Robert Timothy Smith is delightful as Liam Turner — or the outlandish plot, the holiday film is fully aware of what it’s going for and infuses the storyline with plenty of heart alongside its humor.
