Bad Santa review

Very Average.

I remember having this movie for along time but never watched it, nobody recommended it for me, i just decided to watch it because it's less than 90 minutes and i wanted something not too serious to kick an afternoon.

I had a good time watching it, but it's no something special, it's a black comedy but wasn't that amusing, i mean some scenes where entertaining and some weren't, in fact some characters were very annoying, like Gin (played by Bernie Mac), he's so not funny, and i didn't like him as long as i remember, but in other movies, he always featured in short, unimportant scenes, but here, he had too much screen time, along side with him was Lois (played by Lauren Tom), i don't know her but i felt poisoned by her "performance", she was shockingly annoying, and she had so script, she was there to fill a spot, imagine what would it be if she said something.

It's tells the story of an alcoholic old guy (played by Billy Bob Thornton), who works as Santa for a week or two before the Christmas until, the holiday when he robs the mall with his buddy Marcus (played by Tony Cox), the chemistry between the two were fantastic, i had a great time watching them, and there were few cuss scenes that were hilarious, and i loved Brett Kelly, a fat kid in which Santa lives in his house, and he was really funny.

The story wasn't that great, it was very average, like i said before, it's a great way to kick an afternoon, but that is all, Billy Bob Thornton performance was great, the story kinda takes a touching turn as Santa starts caring for the kid and looking after him, but i don't, something wasn't right about the film, so i didn't enjoy it all, and some annoying characters have killed it for me.

6/10
