Instantly qualifying as a perennial cult favorite, Bad Santa is as nasty as it wants to be, and there's something to be said for comedy without compromise. The Coen brothers conceived the basic idea and served as executive producers, but it's director Terry Zwigoff (Crumb, Ghost World) who brings his unique affinity for losers and outcasts to the twisted tale of Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton), a hard-drinking, chain-smoking, foul-mouthed sexaholic safe-cracker who targets a different department store every holiday season, playing Santa while he cases the joint with his dwarf elf-partner Marcus (Tony Cox). With comedic support from Bernie Mac, Lauren Graham, Cloris Leachman, and John Ritter in his final film, Thornton milks the lowbrow laughs with a slovenly lack of sentiment, warming Bad Santa's pickled heart just enough to please a chubby misfit (Brett Kelly, hilariously deadpan) who may or may not be mentally challenged. As dry as an arid martini and blacker than morning-after coffee, Bad Santa is an instant cure for yuletide schmaltz, and if you think this appropriately R-rated comedy is suitable for kids, your parenting skills are no better than Willie's. --Jeff Shannon

This movie was not funny at all. Save your money and time and do not see this piece of crap. The best part of this movie is the end credits.

...A drunken Santa and his angry midget sidekick with a shopaholic wife pulling off Christmas time burglaries...How the f@#$ could it miss!!! Only a serious prude would not find at least parts of this film funny. Looks and sounds great in high definition.

This movie was probably looked better on paper than a movie. How it got green lit, I have no idea. The only redeeming value is the faith that Arthur has in Billy Bob Thornton and how he softens him. As for the jokes, there are some laughs, but most of them fall flat and have been seen a hundred times over in other movies(yawn). The comedy moments aren't clever and very predictable. I love black comedies since I was a teen, this one doesn't cut it. It was too oppresive. Tom C.

The Bottom Line:
If you go into Bad Santa expecting well-written and acted low-brow humor, you'll likely be pleased by this very black comedy about unsympathetic but very amusing characters; it isn't warm and fuzzy, but it's all the better for it.
3/4

Willie (Billy Bob) and Marcus (Tony Cox) work at shopping malls during Christmas time as Santa and his elf. But unlike your regular Santa and elf, this duo is here to rob the mall blind. After another successful heist, the duo split once again until the next Christmas. Willie claims though this past heist is his last heist and that he is going to change his life around. But Marcus knows the truth. Willie is a screw up and an alcoholic who only cares about money, liquor, women, and self-loathing. ... Read More
