DEAR SANTA 2

The Farrelly Brothers have mostly gone their separate ways since the release of 2014’s disappointing “Dumb and Dumber To,” with Peter Farrelly managing to go on to Oscar glory in 2018’s “Green Book,” signaling a more respectable future for the family name. That hasn’t been the case, as Peter went back to tone-deaf comedies in “The Greatest Beer Run in the World” and the odious “Ricky Stanicky,” and Bobby tried his luck with an underdog sports film, “Champions.” The siblings reunite, sort of, for “Dear Santa,” finding Peter taking a co-writing credit while Bobby steps behind the camera for this holiday entertainment, which is clearly out to recapture the strange chemistry that once powered their best pictures. “Dear Santa” maintains a Farrelly Brothers to-do list of jokes and dramatic asides, offering material that contains a zany idea for mischief, but is mostly suffocated by poor storytelling choices and lethargic direction.
