Willie Soke (Billy Bob Thornton) is still a drunken screw up. Happy endings are BS. He tries to commit suicide only to be saved by The Kid, clueless Thurman Merman. Marcus Skidmore (Tony Cox) gets early release from prison and has a job lined up in Chicago, robbing a charity run by Diane Hastings (Christina Hendricks). They infiltrate by joining the Santa charity and then it's revealed that Willie's mother Sunny Soke (Kathy Bates) is the leader of the scam.It's not funny anymore. It's not so outrageously new. Even the Kid is no longer a kid. He's still chubby but the humor is gone. It's sad to sit thru an unfunny comedy. I wonder if a sequel could be made of him struggling to make it work in the suburbs with Sue. Kathy Bates competes for an ugly off. Billy Bob is lifeless. Hendricks is cold. Not much is funny here.

I am astounded that anyone would give this movie more than one or two stars. But I suppose what's one man's garbage is another man's treasure, and there's no accounting for bad taste. The writers were intent on including every off-color...no wait, every type of disgustingly gross, filthy dialog imaginable, assuming the audience craves this kind of so-called humor. I am no prude, but there was nothing to redeem this movie from the trash heap. Perhaps some viewers will watch this so they can play the drinking game, taking a shot every time the 'F' word and it's derivatives is uttered. If that's the case, expect to succumb to alcohol poisoning by the 30 minute mark.

Willie (Billy Bob Thornton) teams up with Marcus (Tony Cox) and his mother (Kathy Bates) to rob a crooked charity in Chicago on Christmas Eve. Brett Kelly is back. He is not longer a dumb fat kid, but now is a dumb fat adult. Male fantasy Christina Hendricks has a role and Billy Bob Thornton says the things to her every guy wish they could.The actual robbery was at the end of the film and was anti-climatic in a film that never had a climax...other than that other kind. The movie was filled with sexually crude, over-the-top humor that was amusing from the shock value, but not LOL funny...like a bad Apatow movie. Certainly this is a low point for director Mark Waters. Octavia Spencer was funny as a prostitute, although if you are really that hungry Octavia, I'll make you a sandwich. Co-writer Shauna Cross demonstrates her diversity as she was the screen writer for "If I Stay" a polar opposite type of film. Kudos, I think. If you like crude sexually humor, that is what this film is all about.Guide: F-word, sex, crude sex talk, fake scrotum nudity.

A awful film with all jokes fro the first just repeated in a more crude fashion with no real store character building or anything of note. Do not watch this film i want my hour and a half back. I did like the first one but this one felt like it was just made for the money i wish i had something positive to say about this film however i do not.
