Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE FILM. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY THEME MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE.The story of this film is Willie T. Soke and his assistant Marcus Skidmore are professional thieves. Every year, Willie disguises himself as a department store Santa Claus and Marcus disguises himself as an elf in order for both of them to rob the store at night, using Marcus' wife Lois as their getaway driver and accomplice. Marcus takes his duty as an elf seriously, but Willie is a sex-addicted alcoholic, and is gradually unable to perform his Santa duties appropriately with children, plus likewise a diminish in his safe-cracking performance, much to Marcus' dismay. When they are hired at the Saguaro Square Mall in Phoenix the following year, the vulgar remarks made by Willie shock the prudish mall manager Bob Chipeska, who brings them to the attention of security chief Gin Slagel.Now this film has had 4 different cuts. 1) The Theatrical Cut 2) Unrated Extended Edition (Aka Bader Santa) 3) The Director's Cut 4) The Television CutNow my preferred version of this film is the "Unrated Bader Santa" edition. This film is funny! It is mean spirited at times but it is not trying at all to be a "Politically Correct Hallmark Movie".Billy Bob Thornton is very good in the role. However the late John Ritter and Bernie Mac are gold here! Lauren Tom is unrecognizable here but she is funny! There is several upsetting images in this film but if you have a funny bone and you want to laugh then watch. Watch this Anytime of the year. It will make you laugh.

Sometimes genuinely obnoxious movies can prove entertaining. "Ghost World" director Terry Zwigoff doesn't pull any punches in his sarcastic, sacrilegious, but sizzling saga about a pair of thieves that dress up like Santa Claus and his Elf accomplice and rob a departmental store of everything at Christmas time. The first thing that is going to rile prospective spectators is the abundant profanity. According to the Kids-in-the-Mind website, the F-word or its derivative is uttered 130 times. This should slash a third of the audience for this interesting, artsy, crime thriller/ character study. Oscar winning actor Billy Bob Thornton is thoroughly persuasive as a down-on-his-luck individual who has dedicated himself to a life of debauchery and wound up masquerading as Santa Claus once a year as part of an elaborate crime. Willy (Billy Bob Thorton) is not the brains behind this skulduggery. Instead, Marcus Skidmore (Tony Cox) organizes everything. Marcus is as ruthless as he is short. He is a small person. Nevertheless, nobody should let Marcus' lack of height lull them into a false sense of security. He uses Willy to break into the safe so they can loot it for an eleven-month holiday until time comes for them to look for a new target. This time, they run into a challenging adversary, a Department Store Security Chief (Bernie Mac") who is as smart as he is cunning. In one of his final theatrical appearances, John Ritter plays a sensitive story supervisor who discovers Willy having anal sex with a customer in a ladies' dressing room. The second reason you won't like "Bad Santa" is the amoral behavior of the hero. He drinks himself into a stupor and often winds up bedding down a single girl. His only dictum is that she must cry "Santa" during their sexual follies. "Bad Santa" is a crude, rude, lewd character study with a surprise ending for what is basically a matter-of-fact crime comedy.

Bad Santa (2003) Reviewed by Martin Davis, Retrospect Film on Facebook 'Bad Santa' has been described variously as 'The nastiest Christmas film ever', 'The ultimate anti-Christmas film' or 'One of the best Christmas films ever'. In truth, it's much more than any of those descriptions. It's quite simply a great film, brilliantly scripted, and with assured direction from Terry Zwigoff, following on from 2001's excellent 'Ghost World'. With some exceptional performances, it's also very, very funny. The only person Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton) hates more than anyone else is himself. Consumed with self loathing and drinking himself into oblivion, Willies' life and everyone in it are one endless series of disappointments. Unscrupulous and immoral, Willie is a bad person and he knows it. One thing he is good at though is cracking safes. Every Christmas with the help of his diminutive partner in crime, Marcus (Tony Cox) he finds work as a department store Santa Claus. With Marcus as his elf assistant, their sole intention is to rob the store on Christmas Eve. With Willie permanently drunk, abusive to the kids and having sex in the changing rooms, despite his best efforts, Marcus cannot avert the suspicions of store detective Gin Slagel (Bernie Mac). Slagel quickly brings his concerns to the attention of the mall manager Bob Chipeska (John Ritter), in his last film appearance. Meanwhile Willie is enjoying a passionate affair with Sue (Lauren Graham), a barmaid with a Santa Claus fetish. Things are further complicated by the unwelcome attention of a young boy, Thurman Merman, who believes the foul mouthed Willie to be the real Santa. Willie finally finds a purpose to his life, teaching Thurman to stand up to bullying after the youngster inadvertently saves him from suicide. With the clock ticking, will the Yuletide criminals be apprehended before they can complete their audacious robbery and will Willie find redemption in a childs innocence? Rude, crude and with the blackest of humour, 'Bad Santa' with a total of 300 profanities, may not be to everyones taste but it manages to be both hilarious and moving without once slipping into sentimentality. Both Jack Nicholson and Bill Murray showed interest in the title role but were already committed to other projects. It's difficult to imagine anyone other than Billy Bob Thornton as 'Bad Santa' though and he gives a career best performance, ironically losing out on a Golden Globe award to Murray for 'Lost in Translation'. This is one Christmas film that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Excellent. Martin Davis, Retrospect Film on Facebook

My husband usually finds most comedy enjoyable. I find only some comedy enjoyable. We are both avid movie-watchers. Neither of us enjoyed this movie at all. At 44mins in (47mins to go), my husband thought it 'might' be picking up... but lost interest in further watching. In my opinion, if it takes half the movie to start getting better, then it's a bad movie.This movie relies on the presentation of an immoral, irreligious, cursing Santa as it's chief premise. That it is a 'bad' movie, in in my opinion, isn't a reflection on the acting or direction, both of which seemed pretty good. Perhaps it's more redeeming feature was Brett Kelly's portrayal of 'The Kid', which makes an excellent foil to Billy Bob Thornton's 'Bad Santa'. The script, however, left a lot to be desired and seemed only designed to appeal to some. For us the dialogue and plot were both pretty uninspired and seriously lacked.If you enjoy a mockery of the traditional concept of Santa, and love a script liberally salted with a wide range of cursing, then you may possibly love this movie. We, however, did not enjoy it. Final tally: 1 for the acting, 1 for the direction & 1 for the presentation. 0 for all else.
