Synopsis: Willie T. Stokes is a washed-up, wise-cracking Department Store Santa who can't help but be more naughty than nice. Underneath his ill-fitting red suit, Willie is actually a safecracker who makes one big score every year--on Christmas Eve. As shoppers head home from the mall, this Santa and his ingenious Elf--Willie's midget partner-in-crime Marcus--crack the store safe and make off with their own holiday stash. But then comes Phoenix. Here Santa and his Elf find their annual heist endangered by a pesky store manager, a savvy mall detective, a sexy Santa fan and an innocent but beleaguered 8-year-old misfit who decides to believe that Willie--as intoxicated, acid-tongued and felonious as he seems to be--is the real Santa he's been seeking.

I know Christmas is over, but I couldn't let this movie off my daily reviews. I have just a very few list of favorite Christmas movies, and to be honest, this one is at the top of my list. Bad Santa is one of the darkest comedy movies I've ever watched and I loved it! Bad Santa is not that kind of Christmas movies that you'd love to watch to get in the mood and feel the Christmas spirit... far from that! It is as crude, offensive, nasty and profane as it can be! Billy Bob Thornton plays the lead role as the helpless drunk Santa who works in big department stores with his midget partner as part of their alibi to steal the money kept in the stores' safe. While working on one of these stores, Bad Santa (Billy Bob) meets "The Kid" (Brett Kelly), one of the sweetest fat kids ever, who believes in Santa and wants to be his friend. The kid gets involved in Santa's personal messy life and Santa becomes his protector and best friend.
Definitely one of my top favorite comedy movies! It is one of my "must watch" every single Christmas season. I laughed out loud all movie (literally!). Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. Billy Bob Thornton's role was fabulous!
2. Such an amazingly funny dark comedy
3. The fat kid plays such a great role also, he's able to break the heart of the viewers!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Absolutely nothing! (Well... the trailer doesn't show how funny this film is! This is one of those few cases when the trailer can't sell the film)
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
