Bad Santa (2003)Directed by Terry Zwigoff, rated R, 91 minutes
Bad Santa is a fantastically dark and outrageously funny cult comedy about an alcoholic mall Santa who systematically robs the malls he works for. But, this year things get complicated when a troubled kid befriends him. Billy Bob Thorton plays a pretty despicable character, without reservations, and that's what makes him so strangely likable and hilarious to watch. The film has plenty of lowbrow humor, but manages to do it in a rather intelligent way, and the dialogue is ridiculously fun.
Bad Santa is provocative, perverse, brutal and even sad - it's the antithesis of Christmas movies, but the perfect movie to watch during the holidays. You'll like it if: You like raunchy comedies, crime comedies, cult comedies, Billy Bob Thorton, The Big Lebowski, Thank You for Smoking or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
