Movie Review

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. Full movie review »

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.

this film was extremly filty ,butthat`s what makes the film so strong. The 2 absolute bright stars in the film are John ritter,and the foul mouted elf. Thorton gives one of his best comedic performances. Bernie Mac is also a great addition to this comedic masterpiece

I don't know much about the movie except for the trailer I saw before Scary Movie 3. One thing's for certain, though: I laughed more during that trailer than I did during the whole movie. Billy Bob Thornton is great, and I can't wait to see this movie.
