Willie T. Stokes is a convicted con man who's led a miserable life. He drinks heavily and constantly embarrasses himself publicly. He only works once a year dressed as Santa. But then come Christmas Eve, he and his pint-sized helper dwarf Marcus stage elaborate robberies and take their department stores for everything they got. This time around, Willie gets distracted by large women, a bartender who is attracted to Santas, and a kid who's convinced he's the real deal. However, Marcus must once again put up with Willie's heavy drinking and a series of incidents that constantly shoot themselves in the foot. Will Willie and Marcus make it to next Christmas? Or will this be the year the dynamic duo finally face justice?
Leave your thoughts about Bad Santa.
| Stranger SongRob HumanickGeorge Bailey never kicked Mr. Potter in the nuts. |
| Toledo BladeChristopher BorrelliBad Santa stays cheerfully acerbic right to the end, and so the film s glacial warming and glimpses of heart take on even more of an unmistakable glow, standing out against all that darkness. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A great piece of comedy filmmaking by director Terry Zwigoff. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerOffbeat, hilarious and gleefully misanthropic, this is the perfect antidote to Hollywood's annual glut of sugary Christmas movies. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonI have been laughing myself silly almost every day since I saw it more than a week ago. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThere's something about the cumulative effect of repeated swearing, accompanied by Thornton and Cox's delivery that turns it into comedy gold. |
| NetflixJames RocchiBilly Bob Thornton's work in this Claus-and-robbers comedy is so very naughty that it's very, very nice. |
| Arizona RepublicBill MullerThe movie actually has a heart -- a coal-black heart, but a heart nonetheless -- and it's bitingly funny. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA demented, twisted, unreasonably funny work of comic kamikaze style, starring Billy Bob Thornton as Santa in a performance that's defiantly uncouth. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezWon't appeal to everyone, of course, particularly those who blush easily. And parents who take children to see it deserve to have their heads examined. But for those who don't mind a little bile in their eggnog, it's the perfect antidote to all that prefab Christmas cheer. |
