Crude, lewd, hilarious...and touching!

"I'm an eating, drinking, shitting, fucking Santy Claus." Are you sick and tired of the recent glut of strictly by-the-numbers, saccharine-coated Christmas movies? If so, then praise the skies for Terry Zwigoff's Bad Santa; a no-holds-barred misanthropic black comedy that casually takes every cherished cliché of Christmas movies, tears them to shreds and takes a piss on the remains. Crude, vulgar... read more

Bad Santa? More like "Bad Movie." However, Billy Bob Thorton turns in a breakout performance playing the role he knows best, himself. A degenerate drunk thief playing father figure to an innocent kid is very fitting for the holiday season. Watch Thorton spread the joy of Christmas as Santa Claus and follow along not knowing whether to laugh or cringe.

It is the height of the festive holiday season and merry shoppers have begun their yearly pilgrimages to their local malls. Among the drove is a pair of con men, on a decadent road trip as Santa and his elf. Rather than spreading good cheer, the duo's motive is to rob each establishment, a strategy that becomes complicated when they encounter a precocious 8-year old that teaches them the true meaning of Christmas.

"22.12. 2019 "Bad Santa" is an unconventional christmas film, although the director who made this film probably wasn't quite sure what he really wanted to say with it. The main character is a crook who works as a mall santa and he also steals stuff with his midget friend.
