Ulisses

Dear Santa is a hilarious and heartwarming movie that delivers on all fronts. Jack Black as Satan trying to befriend the little boy is absolutely brilliant. The story captures the kid’s journey of self-discovery as he tries to fit into a world where perfection and popularity seem like the ultimate goals. When the demon arrives offering three deals for his soul, the story takes a fun and unexpected turn, blending moral and ethical dilemmas with humor and charm. The characters are fantastic, and the scene with Post Malone had me in tears from laughing. I loved the subtle touches, like the girl sending TikTok Reels with her dance moves—it’s such a relatable modern touch. There’s also a deeper layer, exploring how adults often dismiss the innocence and honesty of children, which adds some thought-provoking moments. The humor is top-notch, with scenes like Jack Black and the mouse in the classroom being absolutely laugh-out-loud funny. Overall, Dear Santa is a highly entertaining film that balances comedy, heart, and a bit of chaos perfectly.
