Bobby expressed his enjoyment of working with Jack Black, highlighting their shared comedy timing and the importance of telling a heartfelt story. He also discussed the art of keeping the audience engaged, ensuring they don’t anticipate the classic Farrelly brothers’ punchline. It was a delight to spend time with Bobby, and "Dear Santa" makes for a great holiday film!
In the story, a young boy named Robert Timothy Smith mistakenly spells a crucial word in his Christmas wish list to Santa, leading to chaos when a mischievous Jack Black arrives to create holiday havoc. From the hilarious minds behind "Dumb and Dumber," this film promises to turn Christmas upside down.
