"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

''Why don't you wish in one hand, and shit in the other. See which one fills up first.''

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.

Elokuvapäiväkirja 2018 (216 movies items)

"7.1 Pyhät tuli ja meni, mutta se ei ole itselleni syy olla katsomatta jouluelokuvia, jos sillä päällä satun olemaan. Billy Bob Thornton sikailee ja kiroilee ostaripukkina, paneskelee naisia sovituskopissa, saapuu vahvasti humaltuneena töihin ja vetää teinirunkkareita pataan pukinkamat yllä. Ei kovin hauska elokuva näin muuten muutamia hymähdyksiä lukuunottamatta. Toki Thorntonin roolisuoritus pelastaa jo huomattavan paljon. Parempi jouluelokuva joka tapauksessa, mitä Will Ferrellin"

" Familiar Actors: Billy Bob Thornton Tony Cox Brett Kelly Lauren Graham Lauren Tom Bernie Mac John Ritter Ajay Naidu Alex Borstein Billy Gardell Bryan Callen Octavia Spencer Ryan Pinkston Ethan Phillips Cloris Leachman and Matt Walsh True Rating: 7.4/10 I wanted to watch Bad Santa 2 so I had to check this one out first. I did see bits of it when I was young and curious. It's too bad Bernie Mac and John Ritter passed after this as they were wonderful here. I'm still not sure I like Lauren Gra"
