When a young boy mails his Christmas wish list to Santa with one crucial spelling error, a devilish Jack Black arrives to wreak havoc on the holidays. From the hilarious minds behind DUMB & DUMBER, Christmas is about to go up in flames.

I thought the movie was pretty funny. Had some School of Rock vibes. The post Malone scenes were pretty great. I'd give it a 6.5/10, and it is definitely a unique take on a Christmas movie. Sorta has a Little Nicky vibe but much tamer.

Also some of the reviews are pretty funny because they put Satan in a Christmas movie

Horrible movie. Targeting kids, persuading them to think satan is a fun guy. Lame movie, awful meaning, dispiriting from the Christmas story and spirit.

If I made a checklist of what I wouldnt want to see in a Christmas movie, it would look exactly like that

True... BUT... what?.. they were sitting around the conference table and said... you know, we need a change of pace Christmas movie. Now... hear me out... I'm thinking... Jack Black... a dyslexic kid... and SATAN. It'll be an absolute riot.

Jack Black officially is blacklisted by most now. We found out how big of an asshat he REALLY is by his actions/inactions. Dude made some shitty decisions the past year or so. I choose not to support him for now - though I’m sure he doesn’t care,

The church lady did the Santa Satan joke a while ago. She probably would have been sad if Jack Black were summoned instead of Jon Lovitz.

Movie looks like a good premise, I just can't take Jack Black anymore. It's a cirme he is Steve.

It was pretty bad but the interaction between Blacks Satan and Stillers Satan provided a few laughs
