"This might just be the worst plot ever?"- Fans left unimpressed with Dear Santa first trailer

Paramount+'s upcoming Christmas movie, Dear Santa, featuring Jack Black as Satan dropped a first trailer, which divulges the plot of the movie. The trailer, which combines elements of Christmas with a notorious twist of misspelling Santa as Satan, seems convincing enough for a goofy comedy.

Bobby Farrelly has directed the film, which will follow Liam (Robert Timothy Smith), who tries to summon Santa but ends up summoning Satan due to his inability to spell correctly. What follows is a series of goofy events and a bizarre revelation.

However, the first trailer did not impress all fans alike, with many already expressing dislike for the plot on social media platforms. This may not directly impact the film's performance as it will have a streaming release, but it may still negatively impact the expectations fans had for this Jack Black starrer.

X user @wtffolly_ summed up the emotion, saying:

"This might just be the worst plot ever?"

Other fans had similar things to add:

"I can’t believe this is a real movie that someone got paid to write."- another user added.

"I got through 15 seconds of the trailer did anybody get farther I should get an award for bravery."- another fan said.

"And they think this is a Christmas movie? This is terrible, and a hard pass from me. Not keeping Paramount+ either."- another fan said.

"I'm starting to think Jack Black just says yes to absolutely any movie whatsoever before he even gets a script"- another fan added, criticising the actor for picking this movie.

Dear Santa will premiere on Paramount+ on November 25, 2024.

What is Dear Santa all about?

Dear Santa is an upcoming Christmas comedy film by renowned comedy director Bobby Farrelly. Paramount Pictures has produced the film, which will be released on Paramount+. It follows a young boy who tries to summon Santa but misspells it as Satan, bringing the devil to his realm.

The movie stars Jack Black as Satan, alongside Keegan-Michael Key, Robert Timothy Smith, Brianne Howey, Hayes MacArthur, P. J. Byrne, Gavin Munn, and Jaden Carson Baker, among others. As revealed in the trailer, the movie will also feature Post Malone as himself.

The synopsis for the movie reads:

Even if it doesn't become the most successful one, Dear Santa will surely be one of the most unique Christmas movies of 2024.
