Bad Santa
“Bad Santa (2003) is the ultimate ‘anti-Christmas’ movie, featuring Billy Bob Thornton in a career-defining role as Willie T. Soke, a miserable, alcoholic thief who poses as a department store Santa to rob malls. This isn’t a family-friendly holiday tale; it’s a dark, foul-mouthed comedy that finds humor in the absolute rock bottom of the human condition. Willie’s interactions with a bullied, socially awkward kid named Thurman Merman provide the film’s unexpected and twisted heart. The film skewers the commercialism and forced sentimentality of the holidays with brutal efficiency. Bernie Mac and John Ritter add to the comedic chaos as mall security and management. It’s a movie that dares you to laugh at things you shouldn’t, ultimately becoming a holiday staple for those who prefer their eggnog with a heavy dose of cynicism and dark wit.”
Bad Santa was a hilariously dark holiday treat… but next, we join a group of average guys who decide to form a security team that is anything but professional.
