Movie Review

Play a round of free association with me for a minute. When you think of Christmas, what dances through your mind? Visions of sugarplums? Brightly lit evergreens, colorful presents, nativity scenes and figgy pudding? Well, director Terry Zwigoff wants to obliterate all that radiant imagery with his latest film, Bad Santa , a derisive ode to debauchery and pessimism that does all it can to take the magic out of the Advent season.

Willie is a suicidal, chain-smoking, chronically depressed, fornicating, foul-mouthed wreck who has drunk enough liquor to reduce his liver to a shriveled bit of beef jerky. He also happens to be a department store Santa Claus for one-twelfth of the year. But Willie doesn’t don the red suit because he loves Christmas and the children the season means so much to. Far from it. He abhors the “dirty little snot-nosed freaks” and the entire Christmas thing with every fiber of his alcohol ravaged body. No, Willie puts on the fluffy hat every year because he and his partner in crime, a little person named Marcus who doubles as his elf, rob their retail employers blind. (Willie cracks the safes while Marcus filches expensive jewelry and furs.)

They’ve been pulling this heist for the past seven years, but their scheme is on the verge of falling apart. For one thing, Willie’s dissolution is becoming more and more obvious. He arrives at work stupid, fall-down drunk. He engages in sex acts in changing rooms. He screams obscenities at parents and youngsters who disturb him while he’s on his break. That has Marcus worried that Willie might blow their cover. As does a child named Thurman who seems convinced that the worthlessly inept Willie is actually Santa Claus and won’t leave them alone.

Positive Elements

Thurman is a genuinely kind soul. He rescues Willie from an attacker and, wanting to befriend him, welcomes the crooked Kris Kringle into his home, showering him with affection, food and gifts. A woman proclaims her love for children and tries to instill a sense of charity toward them in Willie. Willie eventually warms to Thurman, driving away a gang of tormenting bullies and trying to teach the pudgy tyke how to defend himself. In a moment of misguided charity, Willie even risks his life to deliver a Christmas present to the boy.

Spiritual Elements

A number of nativity scenes are shown. A woman describes how her Jewish father forbade any mention of Santa in his house. Thurman bizarrely comments that his dead mother “lives in God’s house” with “ghosts” and “the talking walnut.” He also reads selections from an Advent calendar that are straight from the Gospel of Matthew and rightly proclaims them to be “the story of Christmas.” Willie, however, ignominiously pronounces that the tale of Christ’s incarnation “sucks.” While trying to dismiss a nosy neighbor concerned about his yard decorations, Willie states, “We don’t celebrate Christmas here. We’re Muslims.” A person makes a mocking statement about Jews for Jesus.

Sexual Content

Gags abound about sexual virility, genitalia, venereal diseases, adultery, homosexuality, oral sex, prostitution, statutory rape, orgasms, masturbation, foreplay and public sex. Willie takes up with a woman named Sue ( Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham in a disturbing performance) who has a fetish for men dressed as Santa Claus. Their violent copulation in a car and a hot tub is accompanied by orgasmic groans and repeatedly screamed obscenities. There’s no nudity, but one rather explicit scene shows Willie and the underwear-clad Sue in the middle of foreplay before being interrupted by Thurman. Later, Willie tries to unzip her skirt as she is decorating a Christmas tree. Willie also ogles women with large posteriors (the camera leers along with him) and has anal sex with one such lady in a dressing room. A number of women wear immodest clothing.

Violent Content

Willie gets in a fistfight with a bartender when he is caught stealing drinks. He carelessly flings an empty vodka bottle and accidentally shatters a car’s windshield. Bullies torment Thurman, hitting him in the head with a soda can, and giving him a black eye (off-screen) and a wedgie to end all wedgies. They are later repaid when Willie brutally pummels the ringleader. Willie loses his temper several times, throwing a checkerboard across a room and demolishing a Christmas display. Thurman bloodily gashes his hand. Several men are kicked in the crotch. A person gets crushed between two cars. Marcus falls from a ventilation duct and lands on a table, destroying it. An extended gunfight with police ends with a man being shot multiple times in the back.

Crude or Profane Language

As I was making my way to a screening of Bad Santa , a cinema employee quipped, “I hope you don’t mind swear words.” A shocking amount of profanity is used during this 93 minute-long film. There are about 150 f-words and over 60 s-words, along with more than 75 other profanities and crudities. God’s name is profaned over 15 times, mostly in conjunction with the word “d–n.” Jesus’ name gets abused about 25 times and is sometimes egregiously combined with the f-word. A couple of obscene gestures crop up.

Drug and Alcohol Content

Booze and tobacco are constants in Willie’s life. It’s a rare moment when he is not downing grog or puffing away at cigarettes. His mall appearances are no exception. He smokes with kids perched on his lap and sips from a hidden bottle of liquor between requests for presents. He vomits outside of a pub after overindulging. And he passes out on the floor at point. Most other characters imbibe and inhale whenever they are given the chance as well.

Other Negative Elements

Willie are Marcus are (largely) unrepentant thieves. In addition to ripping off department stores, Willie empties a safe at Thurman’s house and steals his father’s car. Several times Willie loses bladder control while decked out in his Santa suit (one shot shows urine dribbling from a wet patch on his trousers onto the carpet). Little people are derisively dubbed “midgets” and are the butt of several cruel jokes. Mentally challenged people are similarly ridiculed. A child grossly sneezes all over Willie’s face. Thurman discusses public defecation. Willie tries to kill himself via carbon monoxide poisoning.

“Terry Zwigoff’s Bad Santa … treats the spirit of Christmas as though it were the AIDS virus, and merrily plants a fat, dirty thumb right in Saint Nick’s eye.” So writes John Patterson of the United Kingdom’s Guardian. And he intended those words to be ones of praise. I have no such cheery sentiments, so I’ll put it this way: Bad Santa flips Christmas on its head by celebrating exactly the opposite of everything the holiday is supposed to stand for. Cynicism. Depravity. Obscenity. When it actually acknowledges the true reason for the season—Christ—it does so only to mock Him. This Santa deserves to be eternally banished to the icy nether regions of the North Pole.

Bad Santa Review

05 Nov 2004

Developed from an original idea from the Coen brothers, Bad Santa is a seasonal confection of vomit, piss, crime, snot, suicide, alcoholism and vigorous anal sex.

Perfect counter-programming, then, against the saccharine bilge usually secreted by studios at Christmas and a positive tonic for those of us who see this time of year as a toxic chore rather than a period imbued with "Yuletide enchantment". So why it's out on Bonfire Night will remain one of cinema's great mysteries!

Essentially, this is a one-joke movie: Santa is not an avuncular, present-delivering grandfather figure, but a dyspeptic misanthrope who we first meet vomiting against an alley wall, and who pursues his real calling as a safe-breaker aided by an only slightly less angry dwarf (brilliantly played by Tony Cox, who's adorned with a Caucasian pair of elf-ears; a sly comment, presumably, on the institutional racism rampant at the North Pole). But the joke is a good one and, more importantly, is delivered by Billy Bob Thornton, one of modern cinema's natural comic actors, while the often literally scatological dialogue is inventive and varied enough to help. On one occasion, for example, Santa listens to a child's Christmas wish before advising him, "Why don't you shit in one hand and wish in the other, see which fills up first?"

Surprisingly, there's something reminiscent of the Ealing comedies about Bad Santa. Like the best Ealings, its tale of cynical criminality terminates a (sort of) moral point. And it's here that Zwigoff pulls of a minor miracle - Santa's growing relationship with The Kid, a snot-faced tweenie with weight issues and limited intelligence, should be the moment that the movie caves in to the truly vulgar sentimentality against which it apparently stood. Instead, Bad Santa's unorthodox sweetness creeps up on you unannounced.

It wafts you out of the cinema grinning not only at lines such as, "You're not going to shit right for a week," delivered by Father Christmas during a particularly exhausting bout of bottom sex with a lady in a changing room, but because Zwigoff has actually managed to slip you a Mickey of that Christmas spirit while you weren't looking. Bastard.

Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, great movies, chaz's journal, contributors, bad santa 2.

Now streaming on:

It occurs to me that 2003’s “ Bad Santa ” inadvertently provided the connective tissue between the genuinely subversive comedies of John Waters and the slack, fake-transgressive gross-out comedies currently in vogue, “ Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising ” and the films of the “Hangover” franchise among them. Coming a long 13 years after the original, “Bad Santa 2” provides, perhaps inadvertently, some backup evidence for my thesis. 

The original “Bad Santa,” starring Billy Bob Thornton in the career-high title role (the character’s actual name is Willie Stokes, but few in the movie or outside of it ever actually call him that), was a scrappy indie movie, directed by Terry Zwigoff and executive produced by Joel and Ethan Coen , a deliberately nasty fusion of heist picture and black comedy with a touch of redemptive storytelling that elevated it to nearly-humanist. Albeit in a very cranky way. While the movie did not cross the $100-million box office mark domestically, it did a little better than what you’d call a cult movie. 

The “Bad Santa” brand is strong in other places that count. Just look at the cast for the sequel: Thornton, Tony Cox , and poor Brett Kelly (who played the sad but highly unappealing role of snotnose kid Thurman Merman) are back, and newbies include such luminaries as Kathy Bates and Christina Hendricks . Octavia Spencer shows up for a cameo, playing a hooker who is hired to divest now-21-year-old-Thurman of his “cherry.” Bob Dylan ’s version of “Winter Wonderland” appears on the soundtrack. Think about it: Bob Dylan can’t be bothered to go to Sweden to pick up his Nobel Prize, but he’ll let the “Bad Santa” sequel use one of his songs. 

This sequel is directed by Mark Waters , whose “ Mean Girls ” strongly suggested that he knows funny. His subsequent filmography, which includes “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” strongly suggests lost mojo. It’s clear from the get-go here that Waters is not so strong on areas in which Zwigoff excelled, like credible characterization. But for the demands of this particular movie at this particular time, here he doesn’t really have to be. 

The movie begins with Thornton’s Willie once again in the grip of alcoholism-fueled depression and flirting hard with suicide. He’s saved by a seemingly inopportune visit from now-neighbor Thurman, who brings tidings from Cox’s Marcus. Willie is less than thrilled to hear from his one-time partner in crime (viewers of the first film will recall that things between the two did not end well then) and even less thrilled upon being persuaded to visit Chicago, where Willie learns the brains behind a new job is his long-estranged criminal mother, Sunny (Bates). The trio is going undercover to rob a popular and lucrative children’s charity, but it’s alright, really, because the crooked head of the charity skims almost all their earnings for his own enrichment anyway. Said head has a beautiful wife, played by Hendricks, who’s entirely innocent and also a recovering alcoholic. She takes some pity on Willie, who has trouble holding things together even as he’s casing the joint.

You see how all these components are supposed to line up, and then fall, right? Of course you do. As with so many comedies of its ilk these days, the story in “Bad Santa,” such as it is, serves little more purpose than a straight line on which to hang a lot of gags. This is not a formula that’s exclusive to contemporary comedies: it applies to a lot of Marx Brothers movies too. But such things are always execution-dependent, which in this case is a fancy way of saying the jokes had all better be good. It’s this distinction that makes “ Duck Soup ” a classic and “Go West” not so much in the case of the Marxes. As for “Bad Santa,” its joke batting average is about .400. And I’m being generous here. Even when the jokes don’t work, Thornton in curmudgeon mode is hard to resist. He can make an utterly unfunny line such as “Are you a complete f**king retard” dryly amusing, which I guess is kind of the point. Similarly, Bates and Cox clearly enjoy the interplay with Thornton, so much so that I was surprised not to see a gag reel over the end credits. It certainly would have been preferable to what IS seen over the end credits, a gross-out gag inspired by a practice first alluded to in popular culture in a John Waters film, as it happens. (That movie would be “ Pecker .”)

However. Particularly in its portrayal of Thurman, who here isn’t so much misunderstood and unloved as he is dumber than a bag of rocks, this sequel actively devalues the compassion-on-the-knife-edge-of-misanthropy that distinguished the original in favor of a mainstream gross-out cartoon. The market demands nothing less, apparently.

FILM REVIEW; This Santa Sobers Up, But Only For Greed

By Elvis Mitchell

• Nov. 26, 2003

Somebody needed to make a comedy out of all the holiday season hostility that goes up this time of year along with the decorations, and the light-fingered director Terry Zwigoff and the screenwriters Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are just the guys for the task. Their new film, ''Bad Santa,'' takes all the Christmas season's bad vibes and converts them into an achingly funny and corrupt dark comedy.

Billy Bob Thornton is Willie T. Stokes, a burned-out, hard-drinking safecracker who is annually roused from sleeping one off in that most wonderful time of the year by his partner, Marcus (Tony Cox), a dwarf. Willie is a department store Santa, and Marcus plays his elf. As he does so, Marcus also cases the store so that he and Willie can break in and relieve it of valuable merchandise. On this tour they have ended up in Phoenix, which just adds to the wealth of hilarious incongruity.

Mr. Zwigoff has a taste for finding the dramatic power of self-loathing and making it entertainment. His previous films, the documentary ''Crumb'' and the his fiction-film debut, ''Ghost World,'' both hinged on coping with epic tides of depression. ''Santa,'' which opens nationwide today, falls directly into that lineage. Mr. Thornton's face is drawn into a rictus of a snarl; his Willie Stokes anticipates trouble, and when it doesn't crop up on its own, he has to stir it up from the bottom of the pot. A bar argument that nearly escalates into a particularly invasive fight in the parking lot is one funny example of Willie's talent.

Mr. Thornton's performance is close to the surly distemper he showed in ''Tombstone'' as the round-faced, bratty gambler who simply couldn't stop erupting with childish sarcasm. Despite the long, gaunt face he's developed since then, suggesting an eloquence ennobled by silence, Mr. Thornton is much better and far more interesting as a compulsive talker with a bad taste in his mouth, a sensation he seems compelled to share with anyone within spraying distance.

In the similarly themed 1998 comedy ''Scrooged,'' Bill Murray gave a prodigious performance, and that film might have been a minor classic if the direction hadn't been so bombastic. Mr. Murray was slated to star in ''Santa''; like him, Mr. Thornton is an ace at playing cantankerous, mouthy jerks in love with the sound of their own voices, men who lack the restraint or sense of shame to keep their dissatisfaction to themselves.

Mr. Cox has the trickier task, playing someone who is half enabler, half-manipulator. But he manages to balance the roles while adding hints of devilish masochism: he knows why he hangs with Willie.

Willie is filled with the most distorted kind of narcissism imaginable, and for Mr. Thornton it functions as a kind of star chemistry; as Santa, Willie ladles his acid sarcasm onto the kids who line up to see him on his wobbly perch on Santa's throne. He's the kind of minimum-wage jackal who's responsible for thousands of hours of therapy for his victims.

Mr. Thornton used a bit of this wincing, twitching magnetic perversity in his turn as the James Carville-like adviser in ''Primary Colors.'' But now it's under the main spotlight. It's what brings other unfortunates into his orbit, like the clear-eyed sprite Sue (Lauren Graham), who has a thing for bad-girl activity that would put her on most Santas' naughty lists. Then again, there's probably no living person who could do enough dirt to end up on Willie's naughty list.

Like many films by the Coen brothers -- they're executive producers and came up with premise -- the world of ''Bad Santa'' seems to be peopled by inhabitants of the lower depths, like the skittish and gullible department store manager (John Ritter, in his last role), who is extorted by Marcus into keeping Willie on the payroll. There's also the wily security chief (Bernie Mac, who looks like a suburban king in his Stetson and Western-accented polyesters) who isn't nearly as trusting or vulnerable.

At the top of the unforgettable group of ''Bad Santa'' misfits is the chubby loner kid (Brett Kelly), whose runny nose and dead eyes mark him as schoolyard prey. (This boy could be a character right out of a comic by the ''Ghost World'' creator, Dan Clowes.) Willie treats the boy as prey: he moves into the kid's house while setting up the caper and drinking himself into brain atrophy. The scenes with the boy and with the child's oblivious grandmother (Cloris Leachman) aren't played for pathos so much as for shock.

And Mr. Zwigoff shows the most comfort with this aspect of ''Santa.'' When it comes to the comedy, his brand of lingering deadpan pauses -- the perfect screen realization of underground comics -- isn't quite appropriate. A more conventional, even pushy, director could generate much bigger laughs, just because he'd deliver them on schedule. But Mr. Zwigoff isn't built that way, and though the staging is a little soft, the rest of the movie falls into place. Someone without his slacker temperament would also emphasize the pathos, which he won't or can't do. The actors are assured enough as performers that they compensate for Mr. Zwigoff's overdeliberate quality. The whole ragged, hilarious package is what makes ''Bad Santa'' such a treat.

''Bad Santa'' is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) for behavior that would get even Santa kicked out of a county lock-up: odd violence, strong language, drinking and idiosyncratic sexuality.

Because of an editing error, a film review on Wednesday about ''Bad Santa'' misstated the year of the movie ''Scrooged,'' with which it was compared. It was 1988, not 1998.

Bad Santa (United States, 2003)

Bad Santa 's Willie (Billy Bob Thornton) is the kind of guy who makes Scrooge look like a generous, mild mannered eccentric. With a character as thoroughly unlikable as this, you know immediately that Bad Santa is not going to be just another modern-day version of A Christmas Carol . It has two modes: dark and darker, and dares to do some things with the Christmas motif that haven't been done since Norman Rene's Reckless . Realistically, however, what else would you expect from a movie directed by Terry Zwigoff ( Crumb, Ghost World ) and executive produced by the Coen Brothers?

If you're looking for Christmas cheer, figure out when Love Actually is playing. Bad Santa is for anyone who has had enough of Christmas carols, artificial goodwill, and It's a Wonderful Life . Although it's true that the movie manages a happy ending of sorts, the filmmakers have their tongues wedged in their cheeks for that final scene of faux optimism, and it can certainly be interpreted in more than one way. (Is it real or a fantasy?)

The film's central figure is Willie, a loser who has adopted just about every vice known to man. The only reason he doesn't smoke more is because it would interfere with his drinking. Every Christmas, he and his partner, a dwarf (Tony Cox), get a job in a mall department store as Santa and his elf. Then, on Christmas Eve, after the mall has closed, they use their insider knowledge of the security system to disable the alarms. Willie, who has a background in safe cracking, gets them enough loot so that they can live comfortably for the next year. Except this time, things are different.

Thurman (Brett Kelly) is an 8-year old dweeb who is constantly bullied, has no friends, and lives by himself (actually, he lives with his senile grandmother, but that's as good as alone). In need of someone to believe in, he inexplicably chooses Willie, whom he constantly refers to as "Santa," even when Willie's drunk, out of costume, or humping "Mrs. Santa's sister" (Lauren Graham as a woman with a serious Santa fixation). At first, Willie is annoyed with Thurman for hanging around him, but, upon figuring out how he can use the kid, he has a change of heart. Soon, he's living in Thurman's house as he prepares for his next robbery.

Some will call this movie "mean spirited," and they're probably right. But it is designed to shock. Early in the film, we see Santa urinating in his suit, and the contempt in which he holds the kids is unsettling. The movie doesn't cop out by reforming Willie, either. That might be the perfect approach for a film that contains an ounce of holiday cheer, but it's not Bad Santa . Yet, for all its darkness - or perhaps because of it - Bad Santa is sometimes laugh-aloud hilarious. The humor is offbeat and unconventional, but much of it is funny. The fact that they're laughing through this movie will make some people feel distinctly uncomfortable.

Billy Bob Thornton plays Willie like he was born for the role. Bernie Mac is his usual larger-than-life self as a store investigator who has his eye on Willie. Brett Kelly understands what it takes to portray a dork. And Tony Cox proves that Peter Dinklage isn't the only dwarf with an attitude. Mention must be made of John Ritter in his final movie role (the film is dedicated to him). For Ritter, this isn't a standout part (he's playing the part of the department store manager who hires Willie), but it will get a fair amount of attention.

Bad Santa is definitely not for everyone. If you appreciate movies that don't compromise on their comedic journey into the heart of darkness, this is for you. If you howled at Danny DeVito's War of the Roses and think it's one of the best comedies to reach theaters in the last 20 years, Bad Santa will delight you. But if you're expecting something kinder and gentler, there's still time to see Elf . Because "kind" and "gentle" are two words no one is ever going to use to describe Bad Santa .

Awesome, but not for kids, great movie but not for kids, not good. raunchy. cheap., good holiday comedy that delivers raunch and fun, hilarious but not for kids., hilarious, raunchy, xxxmas movie with an edge.

What You Need To Know:

(HHH, PaPaPa, C, LLL, V, SS, N, AA, DD, MM) Humanist, pagan worldview with worldly perspective on Christmas, void of spiritual meaning and filled with darkness, drunkenness, cursing, bitterness, and pain, with some Christian elements exemplified in mild sacrificial portrayals, some manger portrayals, and boy reads Scripture found in advent calendar; horrendous language with an estimated 250 obscenities, probably 200 of these being the “f” word and 25 being profanities; some violence with man smacking bullies around, man attempting suicide in his car, etc.; overt sex scenes with young bar maid fornicating with Thornton character in car; veiled nudity with sex scene; numerous scenes of alcohol use and abuse; smoking; and, lying, stealing, cheating, rudeness, scatological humor, suicide attempts, etc.

GENRE: Drama/Comedy

More Detail:

In BAD SANTA, Billy Bob Thornton plays Willie T. Soke, a hard-drinking, profane, mean-spirited, washed up man who teams up with a black midget named Gin (Bernie Mac) each Christmas to play Santa and his elf, respectively. The problem is that Willie and Gin have no real interest in entertaining children or granting their gift requests. They are con men who rob the department stores where they work, cracking the stores’ safes and stealing jewelry, furs, and purses along the way. The following Christmas they repeat the scam in a new city. And, so the cycle goes. Willie is miserable and depressed and often speaks of his abusive father, and his desire to end his own life.

One year, however, Willie meets an overweight, nerdy boy whose father is in prison and who gets bullied each day after school. Slowly, Willie edges his way into the boy’s home, where he can be an easy freeloader, and he and Gin continue with their con game. Willie even meets a beautiful girl at a bar (who has a Santa fantasy) and brings her back to the boy’s house. All seems to go well until the wimpy store manager, played by John Ritter, begins researching Willie’s past and uncovering some incriminating evidence. Eventually, Willie must decide whether he can lay down his selfishness, own up to his past history and his current responsibility, and pull from within some long-denounced character traits that could save a young boy’s future.

BAD SANTA is a raunchy, depressing, deplorable Christmas movie with over 250 mostly strong obscenities and profanities. The fact that it was even made should sadden moral audiences. The protagonist is a nasty, foul-mouthed, alcoholic con man who’s mean to children. How’s that for breaking screenwriting Rule #1? You have to LIKE the protagonist! Another screenwriting rule is that you have to believe that the love interest could really be someone who could fall for the protagonist, but in this case, it’s a real stretch. Would a gorgeous young brunette really be gaga over an alcoholic, nasty Billy Bob Thornton character? It just doesn’t work.

Willie the protagonist is such a gross, foul-mouthed guy that audiences will certainly wonder how parents could have even let their precious children audition for the hundreds of child parts in this movie. If children do happen to see this movie, and God forbid that drunk or otherwise temporarily insane parents allow it, their knowledge of profanities, sexual exploits, safe cracking, drinking, smoking, and playing con games will increase to staggering levels. Even the “moment(s) of truth” in the movie are shallow and temporal and the transformations incomplete.

At a time of year when desperate people are hungry for the knowledge of the One True God and the gift of eternal life in Christ, Hollywood offers to them such meaningless, biblically void holiday films as BAD SANTA, ELF, and BROTHER BEAR. Oh, that the Body of Christ would cry out for the lost in this industry, and oh, that God would raise up more godly filmmakers who can give audiences not only good entertainment, but the truth that will fill their empty souls!

SUMMARY: BAD SANTA stars Billy Bob Thornton, who plays a foul-mouthed, alcoholic con man who does a Santa gig every year as a front for his thievery. With a staggering amount of strong obscenities and a dark, godless world view, moral audiences will certainly be choosing alternative holiday viewing fare this Christmas.

Screen Rant

Bad santa 2 review, bad santa 2 is another late comedy sequel that fails to catch lightning in a bottle again with a poor script and weak characters..

Thirteen years after his exploits as a department store Santa in Arizona, Willie Soke's (Billy Bob Thornton) life continues to be a miserable hell. Due to his alcoholism and inability to keep his priorities in line, Willie's blossoming romance with Sue (Lauren Graham in  Bad Santa ) is no more, though Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly) continues to follow Willie around as he progresses into adulthood, oblivious as ever. Sick of his pathetic existence, Willie is contemplating suicide when he is contacted by his former associate Marcus Skidmore (Tony Cox) with a new job offer.

The two look past their differences and agree to work together on a scheme to rob a Chicago charity of $2 million on Christmas Eve, once again playing their old roles of Santa and his elf. Arriving in the Windy City, Willie is reluctant to take part in the heist when he discovers his mother Sunny (Kathy Bates) is Marcus' accomplice, though he is desperate for the money and goes along with the plan. Meanwhile, Willie becomes attracted to charity head Diane Hastings (Christina Hendricks), while Thurman journeys to Chicago alone so he can spend Christmas with his "family."

Bad Santa 2 is the sequel to  Bad Santa , the 2003 dark comedy that won praise for being a fresh and amusing subversion of the typical holiday movie tropes. The film was in development for a number of years before reaching theaters, and it aims to recapture the magic of the original while being a fun continuation of the characters. However, like many delayed comedy sequels, it comes up short.  Bad Santa 2  is another late comedy sequel that fails to catch lightning in a bottle again with a poor script and weak characters.

Johnny Rosenthal and Shauna Cross' screenplay is perhaps the movie's greatest weakness. They attempt to balance several storylines throughout the brief 90 minute runtime, but a few of the subplots end up being filler and inconsequential to the real narrative at hand. The most obvious victim in this regard is Regent Hastings (Ryan Hansen) investigating Willie because Soke is spending time with his wife, Diane. It's a thinly-veiled attempt to give  Bad Santa 2 an element similar to Bernie Mac in the first one, only it goes nowhere and at times it feels like the filmmakers forgot about it. Jeff Skowron gets some humorous lines as Dorfman, the security guard trying to uncover Willie's past, but that's not enough to make it a worthwhile addition to the film.

Unfortunately, the same can be said for Thurman Merman. Kelly is once again a standout in the part, but his character's inclusion feels more like it came out of nostalgia for the original instead of being a natural fit for  this particular story. Whereas Thurman was the heart of  Bad Santa , he isn't given all that much to do in the sequel other than doing a "grown-up" riff of his shtick from the original. Kelly does have some sweet moments with Thornton, particularly towards the end, though some viewers may feel that director Mark Waters could have cut Thurman completely and nothing would have been lost. The idea of a  Bad Santa 2 without the lovable Kid might be blasphemous, but the character feels forced into the proceedings and barely factors into the plot, which will be disappointing for fans that enjoyed Thurman in the first film.

Bad Santa 2 's raunchy humor is a troubling mixed bag. On the positive side, Thornton maintains excellent chemistry with Cox, as Willie and Marcus trade R-rated insults with glorious abandon. Many of these are worth a chuckle, and the film shines brightest when the duo's interplay is front and center. There's nothing new being presented, but it's still fun to watch. However, there are a handful of jokes that aren't the best fit for a 2016 audience's tastes and sensibilities. Many of these come courtesy of Sunny, whose character is written in such a stereotypical and clichéd manner that it's shock for the sake of having shock value comedy. Bates is extremely committed in the role, but she can't truly elevate what's on the page. Sunny is a mean-spirited caricature, and any attempts to flesh out her relationship with Willie are flat and insincere.

Of the newcomers, Bates has the most screen time, and many of the others are severely shortchanged. The female characters are supremely thin sketches that amount to little more than attractive eye candy for Willie and Marcus. Hendricks, Jenny Zigrino, and Cristina Rosata don't have a whole lot to do other than provide  Bad Santa 2 with the expected adult moments that harken back to the original. Thornton is the clear star of the show, slipping back into the role he was born to play with ease. The actor's portrayal of the lead is essentially more of the same (an overarching problem with the film as a whole), but Scrooges will still get a kick out of seeing him as an atypical "hero" looking to spread Christmas cheer. Thornton is unsurprisingly the movie's strongest asset and makes it click.

In the end,  Bad Santa 2 is about what viewers would expect from a  Bad Santa sequel arriving so many years after its predecessor. There isn't enough time to give its various subplots room to breathe and the core story feels more like holiday leftovers than a new and exciting present under the tree. Fans of the original may find some enjoyment in it thanks to seeing their favorite characters again, but the uninitiated can wait to catch this one on home media. In the mold of  Zoolander 2 , this is a comedy followup that wasn't worth the extended wait.

Bad Santa 2 is now playing in U.S. theaters. It runs 92 minutes and is rated R for crude sexual content and language throughout, and some graphic nudity.

In BAD SANTA, a film produced by the Coen Brothers and based on their original story, we have a holiday story for our times. One that dares to show us without pulling any punches the nightmare that all this enforced good cheer has become, that exposes the seamy underbelly of what the season has devolved into and yet one that, paradoxically, celebrates what it ought to be. Sure, there’s gunplay, thievery, and general drunken disorderliness, but the important thing is that the season is made bright, relatively, and it’s accomplished, albeit unevenly, without even one of those annoying sugar plum fairies in sight. Willie T. Soke (Billy Bob Thornton) is the eponymous Bad Santa, and bad doesn’t begin to cover it. He drinks, swears, smokes and wets himself and that’s when he’s on his best behavior with the kids who tell him what they want for Christmas. When not dashing the illusions of bright-eyed kids, he’s a safe cracker. He and his pal, Marcus (Tony Cox), a dwarf with big schemes and a material girl of a wife (Lauren Tom), have a holiday routine. Every year they stake out a new town, play Santa and his elf helper and then, on Christmas Eve, foil the security system of the department store they’re working for and clean it out of the money in the safe and of the carefully itemized list that Marcus’ wife makes for herself, checking it twice, no doubt. They lay low for a year, which for Willie means drinking the money away, and then start all over again in a new city with new names and the same scam. This year is different, of course. This is the year that Willie and Marcus come to a Phoenix mall and learn valuable life lessons while also teaching a few to those who need it most. That would be the fat kid (Brett Kelly) who asks for a pink stuffed elephant and then sneezes chocolate ice cream all over Santa. That would also be Sue (a perky Lauren Graham), the bartender with the Santa fetish, and Gin Slagel (Bernie Mac), the mall’s security chief who knows how to get something on the side and who may or may not have Santa’s number. At its best, BAD SANTA is gut-splittingly funny and without allowing Willie to break into a warm or fuzzy guy. Though he is given to almost insightfully reflective bouts of self-loathing, he still finds himself performing acts of a carnal nature in the dressing rooms of the big and tall department to the horror of the mall manager who hired him (a nicely supercilious John Ritter), and punching out the donkeys that make up the Christmas scene at Santa’s workshop before collapsing in a drunken stupor to the horror of a pack of kids and their parents. Despite this, he finds that the fat kid, the chocolate sneezer, has made him his hero and the center of a complex theology that also includes the Trinity and a talking walnut. The kid, obviously, has issues, but cynicism isn’t one of them. Willie, true to form, doesn’t so much warm up to this cockeyed optimist as tell him to kick the snot out of the kids who are picking on him, and then, lecture done, take Sue out to the Jacuzzi at the kid’s house to explore further carnal frontiers. Most of which is good for the kid, counterintuitive though it may be. Thornton throughout negotiates that tricky tightrope of being both obnoxious and yet somehow also not quite off-putting. He’s like the train wreck we know we shouldn’t slow down to watch, but can’t help ourselves from doing just that. Perpetually dressed in his aging Santa suit, he’s rude, crude, and almost too addled by booze and self-loathing to live, yet there is something intrinsically fascinating in seeing to which new circle of Hell all this will take him next. Like Willie, BAD SANTA, too, never goes for the warm and fuzzy because it’s so much more fun to go for the jugular. It takes swipes at the fascism of political correctness and the circus that the birth of Jesus has become with equal vitriol while mining the sort of twisted humor that such transgressions deserve. No other film can give us presents that are quite literally blood-stained, human blood, that is, but that reek of both genuine sweetness and hemoglobin. It stumbles along the way, taking too long between swipes, but when it works, it is among the sharpest, funniest things that you will see this or any other season, and one that that will have you ho ho ho-ing all the way home.
