Movie Review

Grade: B+ Billy Bob Thornton has found the role of a lifetime - playing a miserable and vulgar drunk of a conman who poses as Santa Claus to rob from the department stores where he works. Bad Santa is not for children, nor for anyone who has a limited tolerance for crudeness, but for the rest of us, it is a nice little gift under the tree. Read the full movie review

Must See movie, by tschwehr

December 11, 2003

Go into this movie with a light, comical attitude and you'll laugh your ___ off. Billy Bob gives the funniest performance I've seen in a long time. I can't believe I'm endorsing a movie called Bad Santa, but it's that good.
