Overview

You'd better watch out - Willie T. Soke is coming to town, and he doesn't care if you've been naughty or nice. Willie's favorite holiday tradition is to fill his sacks with loot lifted from shopping malls across the country. But this year his plot gets derailed by a wisecracking store detective, a sexy bartender, and a kid who's convinced Willie is the real Santa Claus.

If you feel like you're clearly not living up to the role model this year, this collection is just for you. Here, Christmas ceases to be a source of comfort and becomes a mirror reflecting weaknesses, breakdowns, and all the things we usually only feel ashamed of after the holidays.

A great comedy for the new year, as well as the second part. It's better to watch in the voice acting of a Goblin.

🎄🎅🏻 Happy New Year!! 🎁🦌

A good option is to spend the last year sarcastically, which was sour and bitter! A bad Santa, beaten by his father, turned into an evil alcoholic, a bear hunter and a pervert, as a result, this is already a good moral, do not beat your children, give them decent time and do not turn people into pigs, and this line is also drawn around a fat boy who is bullied, overfed and eventually he can go on the path of correction together with Santa, who is having a midlife crisis.

All this is played out by a sea of funny jokes in a black wrapper. I worked as a Santa for one year and I understand some of Willie's emotions, especially life, when you're hungry, they try to approach you or lock you up after a work shift. I was also doubly amused by the political plot with the store director and the head of the security service, it seems to me that this is the standard of jokes on a social topic, where names are not really called, but archetypes are ridiculed.

Tony Cox is a meme dwarf, how happy I am that he is still alive, and that he is living proof that your height is not a sentence.

To some extent, this is already a traditional movie for Christmas viewing, you shout and smile so cleanly from what is happening and have a snack at this moment with jelly, olivier and wine.

Not being a moralist or a priest, it's definitely worth watching this movie, because such performances pop up literally one in a million and it's an absolute crime to miss them. What else can I say about him? This is a one-dimensional masterpiece, which I am ready to review more than once and continue to laugh at the local immoral and stubborn jokes, but it's so obvious, because that's what the film was designed for.
ps: subjectivity, of course, but it is such films that most of all awaken a sincere New Year's mood, and not those that were filmed (and in fairness they are being filmed to this day, because Santa Claus did not convert to Islam) with an emphasis on friendly family content and a vanilla story with no less sticky ending in which there is no place reality and the absence of fake smiles.

This is what a real New Year's Movie should look like for men over 30, not your Red Missions.

"Bad Santa" primarily catches on to his main character, played by Billy Bob Thorton, with a rather complex, but at the same time with a very multifaceted character, to whom you somehow immediately get into and begin to sympathize with him, and that's why all his antics don't seem like something they are vile and ugly, but on the contrary, they cause a slight condescending smile, and you continue to follow the development of the plot with interest to find out what else he can do.

I've been watching it every Catholic Christmas on December 25th with a bottle of cold Jim Beam for maybe 10 years now. I watched all the translations, in the original language and the version with cut scenes. No, it doesn't bother you.

Yes, it's soooo much out of the total mass of everything I've watched. A mix of dirt and new year, cute kid, tired gg, 00x-style robberies + Goblin voice acting)

I'll probably watch it again, but I liked it)
