It's the most wonderful time of the year again, and the not-in-the-slightest reformed safe-cracker Willie Soke is breathing the air of freedom once more, failing miserably to keep himself afloat thirteen whole years after his last achievements. Still addicted to alcohol and at the end of his tether, Soke will reluctantly accept his former sidekick Marcus' truce and his daring plan for another Yuletide caper--this time targeting a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. However, as Willie slips back into his Santa's red suit again, much to his disappointment, he will discover that another partner in crime is also eager to join in the heist: his desperate for cash estranged mother, Sunny. Can Willie work around his mummy issues, especially now that the closest thing to family, Thurman Merman, comes to town for a visit?
Leave your thoughts about Bad Santa 2.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThe worst...The only question is whether it's more rancid or putrid. Decisions, decisions. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoThough there are many LOL moments, "Bad Santa 2" offers nothing different from the original. |
| ForbesLuke Y. Thompson...like a punk rocker giving the finger, or a secretly chugged cocktail at a contentious family holiday dinner: arguably a cliched act of rebellion, possibly unnecessary, but most certainly welcome at the time. |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyThe script by Johnny Rosenthal and Shauna Cross will make you uncomfortable and embarrassed at your laughter. It's OK. |
| The PlaylistNick SchagerWaters’ comedy — like its forerunner — comes impressively close to elevating cursing to an art form, especially when wielded by Thornton and Cox, who spit and sneer vulgar invectives at each other like gutter-trash virtuosos. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkFans of the original know what to expect here. If you can't get enough of Bad Santa's mean streak, you'll find plenty to enjoy in Bad Santa 2. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt opens with suicide attempts and ends with an assortment of "tea bagging" photos, keeping "Bad Santa 2" low to the ground, and yet it somehow still falls below expectations. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePiers MarchantLike a pair of seasoned jazz pros turning a bland ditty into something at least mildly diverting, Bates and Thornton are able to exit this mess with most of their dignity intact. The same cannot be said for the creative team behind it. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereNaughty, not nice, often hilarious. Thornton and Bates make a great mother-son team. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniBad Santa had kind of a film noir atmosphere. Bad Santa 2 takes the same great character and sticks him into a sitcom. |
