Dear Santa summary
Liam Turner is a boy with a Christmas wish list and a spelling mistake that sends his letter to Satan rather than Santa. Jack Black plays the devilish recipient, whose arrival brings chaos to Liam’s holiday. Paramount describes the film as a comedy and family film, marketed as coming from the minds behind Dumb & Dumber. The setup gives away the central mix-up, but not how the story resolves.

The official Paramount listings agree on a PG-13 rating but give conflicting runtimes. Paramount Pictures lists 108 minutes, Paramount+ lists 1 hour 47 minutes, and Paramount Global Content lists 120 minutes. Because the figures do not match, no single runtime can be stated confidently from those listings.
