Crude, lewd, hilarious...and touching!

"I'm an eating, drinking, shitting, fucking Santy Claus." Are you sick and tired of strictly by-the-numbers, saccharine-coated Christmas movies and the dozens of trite annual Hallmark holiday offerings? If so, then praise the skies for director Terry Zwigoff's Bad Santa, a no-holds-barred misanthropic black comedy that casually tears apart every cherished Christmas movie cliché and takes a steami... 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.
View all Bad Santa reviews
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.

"  And I remember that in 2003. we movie goers were "presented" with two major Yuletide releases. On that particular year, my sister and new husband came to visit me for the holidays. On Christmas Day, right after Christmas dinner, we decided to go see a movie. Now because of my new brother-in-law's conservative sensibilities, we decided on watching Elf, even though me and my sister would much rather have preferred Bad Santa due to our shared interest in more "crass" type of humor. However, whe"

"Format: DVD Viewing: 2nd Thoughts: The wife and I were in the mood for some holiday fair over Thanksgiving weekend and it just so happens I picked this up at a Good Will for 2 bucks. I think Bad Santa is the role Billy Bob Thornton was born to play, so much so that we would later see this character turn up again in the Amazon series Goliath. The movie is so delightfully wicked and dares to answer the question, "what if Leaving Las Vegas was a dark comedy with a Christmas setting?" Seeing it for "
