Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

toonyjakes Bad Santa 2 is bad. It has the feel of a tacky, cash grab kids movie, with all of the profanity you could ever want and more. I swear all the f#$%Ing time, I'm also a young horny guy, but this film takes no rest. It depends on it, for some reason.Plot- Picture the first Bad Santa. Okay, now watch the trailer for this movie. Then, add a typical douchebag as a villain and a trashy over the top Kathy Bates. Finally, imagine a derivative ending to it all, followed by a montage of testicle photos on Tony Cox. It was pretty stupid.Writing- Literally every other line is a sex joke, and if Tony Cox is on the screen, you can bet he's getting grilled for being a midget. I think profanity is great, but the people making this movie have no creativity or timing. Not one single quote.Characters/Acting- Acting wasn't bad at all, but Billy Bob seems a bit less tenacious, when he should be furious by this point of the Bad Santa time line. There are plenty of moments that feel like you're listening to a childs movie in terms of their wording and performance. Quality- The movie was shot well and everything technical is great, but its got no style (not that I need that, I just wanted to walk away with something rewarding) and I don't have much else thereOverall, the first Bad Santa is one of my top 10 favorite movies. It was original, really funny, honest, and even heartwarming. A very underrated christmas movie. This, Bad Santa 2, is just as crappy as it looks. If you like nonstop trash talk and any movie with a good actor, go for it. But I recommend you stay away.

Neil Welch Alcoholic disaster Willie Soke, saved from suicide by loveable man-child Thurman Merman, moves to Chicago where he runs up against his old deeply unpleasant dwarf sidekick Marcus Skidmore and his even more deeply unpleasant mother Sunny. Together, the 3 of them plan to rob a charity which hires down-and-outs to be - yes, you guessed it - Santas under the guidance of dodgy philanthropist Regent and his big-breasted sex-starved wife Diane. Crime and sex ensues.I never saw the original, but I get the joke: wouldn't it be funny if there was a Santa whose every quality was diametrically opposed to everything Santa stood for? Well, apparently, it was such a good joke that it merits a sequel, albeit it had to wait for 13 years.This film has an ugly start - the fundamentally unlikeable Wille Soke, bemoaning his life, tries (and fails) to commit suicide. It then moves through a series of unpleasant events in which unlikeable people do unlikeable things (the most likeable of these being when Christina Hendricks repeatedly yells "F*ck me!", in the throes of a knee-termbler with a fully-Santa-clothed Billy Bob Thornton against a dumpster down a scuzzy back street alley.The only likeable character is Thurman Merman, 8 years old in the original movie and now 21 but acting in every respect as if he was still 8: a nice character, but not even slightly believable.The film contains profanity on an industrial pollution scale (not unexpected, but not very edifying either) and is profoundly unpleasant in almost every respect.Yet I laughed. Not constantly, and not that deeply, but it did raise chuckles fairly frequently. I suspect that this makes me a bad person, but I take comfort from the fact that I am no worse than the people who made this horrible film.I am ashamed to say that my lower lip trembled during the Silent Night sequence.

radmanart We at my house love Christmas movies. Late into the Christmas season I can talk my wife into watching Bad Santa. I never thought that movie could be topped. When I saw Bad Santa 2; from the very start I could not believe it. It was totally hilarious. They brought back the old cast elegantly. You just knew it would be just as great as the last Bad Santa; from the start. My wife who kind of does not like Bad Santa; insisted on watching it to the end, and she rarely feels that way. Kathy Bates being in this movie really brought it home for the woman folk. If it were not for the woman folk that think Kathy Bates is our image of our true self; we would be left behind. Long live Bad Santa and Kathy Bates and the land of the free. sem·per fi·de·lis!

1914 Bad Santa has been ruined just like Dumb & Dumber. It's as if the lazy ignorant degenerate Hollywood writers hate & despise comedy & want smarmy ugliness in its place with a small community niche fixation on the glories of sodomy,doing everything in their limited vocabulary of "F" words & generic hardcore poo poo jokes to utterly destroy any fond memories one might have had ...welcome to the New America your not Kansas anymoreWhy the hate?Now with Bad Santa 2 Sodomy is the MAIN theme with alcoholism secondary. Billy Bob bangs(sodomizes) two mousy horny women, ones a rich recovering alcoholic the other a plump security guard . The acts happen near a dumpster,Christmas tree lot and bar bathroom ...plus out of the blue a blonde party hostess masturbates Billy Bob for no apparent rhyme or reason while the birthday kiddies are in the next room.I guess the HIV/AIDS epidemic & Hollywood hysterics from drama queens is so passé.Billy Bob's character looks gaunt, medicated & suicidal...I wonder what Bad Santa Christmas cheer he's still trying to spread while in a alcoholic haze & without a condom?The Black dwarf is still angry but now has new murderous thug persona . Billy Bobs mom (Kathy Bates) is an old swearing tramp stamp whore in one of her worst-best 'Misery' flashback roles.The clueless fat innocent kid from the original is now a stalking clueless twenty year old retarded man-child with a dismal future ahead of him (I worry about him) Insultingly bad and distressful knowing the suicidal drunk & perpetual man-child may be homeless together with Santa Lennie sodomizing self hating women & George watching behind a dumpster.A one star * black-out ,bathhouse hangover.
