Bad Santa

Original review by Top 100 Christmas Movies · Independent & ad-free

2003 - 18A - 92 MINS - COMEDY

Top cast: Billy Bob Thonton, Bernie Mac

In a nutshell

A miserable conman and his partner pose as santa and his little helper to rob department stores on Christmas Eve, but they run into problems when the conman befriends a troubled boy.

Our review

Clever, unbelievable, funny as ho ho ho.  Laughing out loud has a strange way of kick starting that Christmas spirit so watch this one early in the season. This dark comedy isn't for all and be prepared for some foul language.
