However, it doesn't have John Ritter or Bernie Mac, and Billy Bob is looking old as fuq but ain't he?The one thing that negative reviews say that is true is this movie is very vulgar.... as it should be.... This movie is full of laughs.Hopefully they make one more Bad Santa and some sandwiches!

2003's Bad Santa is the ultimate irreverent Christmas movie. If you're burnt out on sappy, overly sweet joy around the holiday season, the dark, raunchy, unashamedly politically incorrect content of the first is the perfect antidote to that. The original also had great performances and a story with some actual heart to it in the end. The sequel, strangely made over a decade later, is more of the same, just not quite as fresh, without as much meaning and heart in it, but still entertaining, especially if like me, you're a fan of the original. The story, following down-on-his luck deadbeat safecracker Willie Soke, kind of tarnishes the happy ending of the original, and in a way undoes a lot of the character development that Willie went through. It's kind of a back-to-square one opening that resets the story to the place of the original, which is more or less what this installment is. I knew that going in and enjoyed some of the foul lines and funny situations, but the original had the support of (unfortunately deceased) gifted performers such as Bernie Mac and John Ritter, both very skilled comedians for Billie Bob to play off of, even Ajay Naidu from Office Space making a cameo. The sequel features Oscar Winners Octavia Spencer and Kathy Bates, as well as Mad Men alumni Christina Hendricks, as well as returning cast members Tony Cox and a grown Brett Kelly, who looks more or less the same just slightly taller. Bates does well as Soke's mother, but the addition of her character to the story sort of feels like the concept getting stretched, which is what this entire movie is. Although still funny, a segment in the film that features a heist of a high-priced estate feels forced and tacked on into the plot, seemingly an excuse to repeat the scene from the original with the kids sitting on Santa's Lap, with Willie confused and disgusted by what they ask for. A lot of the movie is like this, and it suffers from not having the indie-film feel that Ghost World director Terry Zwigoff brought to the original. It feels a bit more stripped down and an imitation of that style, and like I mentioned earlier, it just doesn't have the same heart. I would more or less only recommend this if you've seen the first multiple times and like it, and really want to see more of Willie and his messed up friends, like I did. If you've never seen either, see the original, and if you only thought it was fun for that one time watching it, you should probably leave it at that.I definitely hope that in another 13 years, we don't get yet another Bad Santa. I can't really figure out why they decided to wait so long after the feeling and interest of the original died down to do this, but the concept and idea is officially stretched as far as it can go. The talent on display and some of the genuinely funny laugh lines in this keep this from being firmly average.

I had low expectations here, as sequels often suck.But I liked this one. Its pretty much a rehash of the the original, but raunchier and still funny. I laughed out loud at more than one scene. The funniest parts are when Willie and Marcus take shots at each other, and when Willie has the kids on his lap while he is playing Santa.

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.
