"Bad Santa" is the story of two conmen who go on a road trip to malls dressed 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 an 8-year-old who teaches them the true meaning of Christmas.

We went to see Bad Santa in the theatres when it came out. We were on our honeymoon and at a loose end. There was clearly not much on as Bad Santa was the only movie up for consideration.
I found the humour in this movie pretty crude, and over the top. At the time, it would have been very unusual to be that direct and dirty. But now that sort of language and those sorts of characters turn up in movies all the time.
I found the characters deeply unlikable, with little in the way of redeeming features. That made it hard to believe that they might be capable of change. But like all American films like this, they tried to go with the feel good ending.
This movie was okay. I didnt cringe that I had wasted hours of my life when I came out. But I was a bit shell-shocked and unsure what to think I guess.

I really enjoyed this movie and would absolutely watch it again, he was just so classic, and I loved the way he woke up to himself towards the end, great movie and I would recommend it but not for any children lol.

-yawn- About all I can remember were two lines, neither of which are suitable in this forum.
They were great lines, with a lot of mental giggles whenever I remember them... but a movie that contains so little as to leave just 2 lines as it's epitaph... well, that is just plain sad.
Overall... I want my money back!

This Santa is really bad, and funny.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I liked the way the Bad Santa went from being a cold hard person to watching him soften to the young boy and his girlfriend, I would absolutely pay to buy this movie.
