Jack Black takes on the role of a foul-mouthed, boozy Santa in this crudely funny yet disappointingly predictable holiday comedy from the Farrelly brothers.

The Farrelly brothers, known for hits like 'Dumb and Dumber' and 'There's Something About Mary,' return to their raunchy comedy roots, but this time with a Christmas twist that falls flat.
Despite the star power of Jack Black as a Satan-possessed Santa, the film's recycled plot points and lack of originality have critics wondering if this is a holiday treat worth unwrapping.
