"It's starting to feel like Christmas." Willie Soke (Thornton) has been living a whiskey filled existence since the double cross he experienced during Christmas a few years ago. When his old partner shows up and wants him to get back into the game he agrees because… he's Willie. After realizing that their new partner is his mother (Bates) he second guesses the entire thing, but the chance of stealing millions changes his mind. Everything is going to plan, until Thurman shows up. This is a movie that I changed my opinion on after watching the special features, which never happens. While watching it I did laugh, but it was basically the exact same movie as the first one. No twists were surprising and even most of the jokes were reused. I loved the first one and did enjoy this but kept thinking, this is just another sequel that seemed to be made to make money off a name and that's it. While watching the features Billy Bob said that this is a movie made for fans of the original. He said the movie was made with them in mind and if they get new fans that's great but it wasn't the goal of the film. After hearing that context I have to think the movie did what it set out to do. That being said, if you liked the first one you will like this as well, nothing new but just a funny movie with heart that is worth your time. Overall, basically a remake of the original, but I did laugh quite a bit. Not as good as the first one at all but worth seeing if you are a fan of the first one. I give this a B-.

First of all, I loved the first one. My absolute favorite Christmas movie of all time. Most other Christmas movies are about magic and all that. How about some realism, dosed with cynicism, sarcasm, curses and other insults? Now that's what Christmas deserves and that's what we all deserve for Christmas.

Some of the comments referred to the first movie as *the original*. Not quite accurate, because this is no remake.

Two reasons I liked this one too:

• Billy Bob & Tony Cox .. a dream combo .. foul mouthed and screwed up to the bone. I'd watch these guys just sit opposite each other and talk trash to each other for days.

And one more thing: Of course this movie can't beat the first one. Also, it doesn't need to. It's fun. That's what any holiday should be about. I had fun watching it. Merry Christmas!

6.4/10

I really enjoyed this. I tend not to have particularly high standards when watching movies. I expected a degenerate comedy, chock full of inappropriate humour and also laced with profanity. There were also countless scenes that made one want to laugh and throw up a little, given how distasteful they were! (Which is great!)

I wanted to see more of Bad Santa, the little person, and Therman Merman! Bad Santa 2 did not disappoint! I was laughing throughout. I'm not one to look at movies through a critical lens. Even so, I could see this movie wasn't as good as the first one, in terms of overall plot and character development.

Nonetheless, I got to see my favourite characters one more time on the big screen. And I laughed throughout. It was like seeing old friends again!

"Bad Santa 2" is frequently hilarious, if one enjoys raunchy no-holds-barred humor. In a world of oppressive mandates for politically correct action, speech and thought, it is a breath of fresh air, mercilessly lampooning every liberal sacred cow imaginable.

It is not a great film. "Bad Santa" was amusing, but not particularly memorable and the sequel will undoubtedly also quickly fade from memory. The plot is largely familiar. The characters don't grow emotionally and are roughly as misanthropic, misogynistic, cynical, self-destructive, abrasive, etc., at the conclusion as they were at the start. It succeeds in creating humor by placing ridiculous characters in improbable circumstances. The humor is bawdy, uninhibited and confrontational. The jokes would make Lenny Bruce blush.

The film fails to rise above its station in its use of alcohol and nudity. Alcohol can be used for burlesque effect by turning a normally staid individual into a stumbling clown, or it can be used to strip away the character's inhibitions, exposing raw anger, resentment, fear and other emotions for all to see, as in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Nudity can be used for titillation, or make the character seem vulnerable, primal or honest, as in "Teachers."

BS2 uses uninhibited, unrestrained, brutally honest language to convey the frustrations, anger and other emotions of the characters. It is at times shocking or amusing, but consistently honest. But alcohol does not strip away any emotions or public façades, as these characters have no inhibitions to strip away. The brief nudity seems immature and puerile compared with the dialogue. One character has on-camera sex in half a dozen scenes with several different partners, with both partners fully dressed (at least from the camera's POV). This is an actor known for a highly erotic scene in a 2001 film. What little nudity is presented in the film seems cheesy and dishonest compared with the brutally honest dialogue.

The film delivers more laughs than many comedies. Production values are adequate. Performances are uniformly excellent. The script is underdeveloped with several major plot holes. It isn't destined to become a classic, but succeeds admirably as a raunchy celebration of political incorrectness.

Ha how low can Santa go? Watch this movie to find out!

Its silly, funny, repugnant, tasteless, surprising, shocking and good for some genuine laughs.

Kathy Bates is awesome in this movie!!

Have some fun with it :)

I'm a huge fan of the original. I was really looking forward to this when it was first announced. I cannot believe they released this pile of garbage. Three times the vulgarity of the original with absolutely NONE of the humor or charm that made it a classic. Every other word is "fuck" and for no apparent reason. It's like a 10 year old wrote this script. No wait, that's an insult to 10 year olds. I LOVE politically incorrect films and things that offend as long as there is comedy involved. This movie had zero laughs. I sat in a half empty theater and not one person made a sound through the entire film other than a few groans. What a let down. I did everything I could not to walk out. I guess I hoped it would get better. It didn't.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE FILM. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM HONEST!

Don't get me wrong. The original "Bad Santa" is a film I love to watch. Today when we were watching it struck me that there were 3 Academy Award Winners in "Bad Santa 2" Kathy Bates Won Best Actress for "Misery" Octavia Spenser won Best Supporting Actress for "The Help". Billy Bob Thornton won An Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for "Sling-blade"

So why it is obvious all of them must of been paid well to do this film. Now I loved the original film. This film is okay but I will not go out of my way to watch it again!

In this film its been 10 years since the events of the original film. Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie Soke (Billy Bob Thornton) teams up with his angry little sidekick, Marcus, to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Along for the ride is chubby and cheery and now grown-up Thurman Merman, a 250-pound ray of sunshine who brings out Willie's sliver of humanity. Mommy issues arise when the pair are joined by Willie's horror story of a mother, Sunny Soke, who raises the bar for the gang's ambitions, while somehow lowering the standards of criminal behavior.

There is some big laughs in this film. There is just not as many as the first one. I was disappointed because the first one was a laugh a minute! This film is RATED R so parents keep children away from this film.

KEEP IN MIND if you don't like crude behavior then don't watch this. This film is raunchy but I could not help but to laugh.

The idea of making a sequel to Bad Santa is one that was first raised in 2009, only six years after its release. It's an idea that should have really been acted upon then or just left in the past because Bad Santa 2, a sequel that comes thirteen years after the original, is not a very good film at all.

Willie Soke (Billy Bob Thornton) is still living a life fuelled by whiskey and greed, a lifestyle that leaves him contemplating suicide, until his old friend, Marcus (Tony Cox), resurfaces after spending ten years in prison. With him, Marcus brings a job for both him and Willie in Chicago.

This time though, the duo find themselves attempting to steal $2million on Christmas Eve from a charity aimed at helping underprivileged children. With Willie's mum, Sunny (Kathy Bates), and Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly) joining the duo in Chicago, things start to become a little more tricky for Willie and Marcus.

There is just so much wrong with Bad Santa 2 as both a comedy and a sequel. The most vital mistake the film makes is that it totally lacks any of the charm or wit that made the first one good. I mean, seriously, the jokes in this are as if they're just having a competition to see who can say the most controversial thing, including one about abortion that just leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

It's a level of writing that comes as no surprise seeing as both the writers of the first film don't have any involvement with this sequel. Any soul that was established in the predecessor is totally destroyed with a screenplay and characters that take things from bad to utterly vulgar in a matter of ninety minutes. Billy Bob Thornton punching Kathy Bates right in the face is something that we don't really need to be seeing in a film today to get a cheap laugh.

Then come the performances, none of which bring any life to the film. Billy Bob Thornton just snoozes his way through proceedings, Kathy Bates wastes both her talent and time in a turgid role and Christina Hendricks, what the hell were you even thinking?! I mean, come on this is not what you should be doing. I was so disappointed with Brett Kelly as well, which isn't necessarily his fault, but Kelly making an appearance as a 21-year-old Thurman Merman just didn't work for me. It worked because he was a kid before and it was funny to watch Billy Bob Thornton react to his mannerisms however, it's fair to say Kelly just doesn't sell the character very well now at an older age.

Did I laugh? A little. Is it as good as the first film? Nowhere near. Is Bad Santa 2 one of the worst films of 2016? Sadly, yes.

If you enjoyed the first Bad Santa, this one is full of the same hilarious antics. Hope there is a third!

Strained black comedy sequel reunites--for no reason that really makes any sense--Willie, the world's most vile Santa and his foulmouthed, dwarf aide-de-camp Marcus for yet another score, this time at a Chicago charity event on Christmas Eve. That darn kid returns, only this time he's a man (sort of), and as what's supposed to be an added bonus: battle-ax Sunny--Willie's equally crass mother (Bates, though even she is helpless against this flimsy material). This unnecessary, uninspired, and untimely follow-up doesn't have much of a plot to keep it afloat, playing mostly as an exercise in unfunny jokes, profane dialogue, and bodily fluids. Forced and forgettable, worth a few fleeting chuckles thanks to a well-chosen cast that elevates it as much as they possibly can. **

Bad Santa 2 is one of the most vulgar, filthy films I have ever seen. It easily blurs the line between an R-rated film and an X-rated one.

And it is also one of the funniest films I have ever seen. The audience and I were laughing out loud throughout the whole film.

The casting is perfect, Kathy Bates played her "white trash" part with ease, totally believable. The "bad santa" role is perfect for Billy Bob Thornton, he handles his role effortlessly. The whole cast is great, a big Thank You for including Christina Hendricks in this version. She is such fun to look at and was the only character with some "class" in the movie. I love her.

Parents beware, this is a HARD R-RATED FILM......and worth every penny it costs to see it!

Must have been very easy for the actors to memorize their lines as all they do is spend the entire film telling each other to 'F off'. Funny for the first 5 seconds but not so for the rest of the film

It should come as no surprise to anyone that Bad Santa 2 isn't anywhere near as good as it's predecessor. Aside from the fact that it's incredibly hard for sequels to out-do the original (and one that's as great as Bad Santa), none of the writers or director have returned for this installment. With that said, Bad Santa 2 still manages to be an enjoyable sequel that is much better than many other recent comedy sequels in recent memory.

One of the films biggest strengths is in it's casting. The majority of the original cast returns and all of the chemistry from the first film is still there. Kathy Bates who plays Willie's mother is a welcome addition to the cast and fits right into the filthy and vile atmosphere. Christina Hendricks is alright, but her character doesn't add too much to the film.

The biggest question about Bad Santa 2 is if it is in fact funny? For the most part, yes it is! A lot of the humor is reminiscence of the first film filled with crass, raunch, and insults galore. However, with none of the original writers returning this means that some of the wittiness of the first film is missing here. A lot of the jokes here are focused more on being offensive and vulgar which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering the type of movie this is, but at times it certainly feels like they are trying too hard to be so and jokes fall flat because of this. Fortunately, the majority of them still work. Like the first film, they don't forget to include a bit of drama and heart as well which seems like it would be missing here.

Mark Waters who has a rather mixed track record with his filmography ranging from decent to awful has taken over as the director. His direction isn't necessarily bad, but it does feel rather bland and unimpressive and at times feeling cheaper than the original film despite having a slightly bigger budget here and the film does suffer a bit because of it. Aside from that, the only other real flaw here is that there is a small portion in the middle where a few scenes drag a bit and the climax does feel a bit rushed.

Overall, Bad Santa 2 isn't going to achieve the cult classic status that the first film did, but as far as sequels go, it's honestly better than it should have been. While flawed, it's great to see Thornton and crew back and there are plenty of laughs to be had here and it even provides a satisfying conclusion to Willie's story. It's no 22 Jump Street, but it's miles ahead of Zoolander 2.

NOTE: I would rate the film a 6.5, but have rounded it up to a 7 due to IMDb's rating system.

I have to admit that I might not be the target audience as I was hoping that my Sneak Preview ticket would land me in a showing of Arrival. But instead it was Bad Santa 2.

As I hadn't watched the first one, I had no expectations coming into this one. What I saw though was a horrible piece of comedy and wanna be edgy screen writers with a clichéd main stream comedy approach.

Skip this if you like good movies. You might enjoy this if the funniest thing you saw this year was naked Sasha Baron Cohen taken from behind by an elephant while sitting in another elephants vagina. And even that movie was much funnier than what Bad Santa 2 tried to do here.

Garbage/10

The original 'Bad Santa' is one of my favourite comedies. We were so used to Christmas films being family friendly that when one came along that was completely the opposite of that, it was a pleasant and hilarious surprise. Now here we are 13 years later, and the problem is we know what we are in for, and therefore it doesn't work as well. Nothing is shocking anymore. It's simply expected. Comedy has actually evolved a long way in the last 13 years and I think the success of 'Bad Santa' was a large reason for that. Now ironically, I don't 'Bad Santa 2' has been able to keep up with that evolution.

There are so many things that made the first one great that are missing here. Both John Ritter and Bernie Mac have obviously passed away in the time between the two films and Lauren Graham was unable to return. These things are understandable and to be expected, however the problem lies in the fact that they haven't seemingly replaced those comedic aspects. Instead, they have simply given Billy Bob Thornton more screen time. The problem is that on his own his character doesn't work. What makes him special is his interactions with seemingly normal people, like John Ritter portrayed so well, and how shocking his personality is to them. In this movie it felt like everyone was as insane as him, and just excepted him for what he is. That's no fun.

I still really enjoyed 'Bad Santa 2' despite it being a highly flawed film. I couldn't bring myself to give it anything lower than a '7' for the simple reason that it's still so much fun. You know you have a pretty special character and concept when a film can be as flawed as this was, and at the same time be so enjoyable. Personally though, I think I'd be happy if they left this series where it is. This one was already lacking in creativity enough to imply a third one would be a serious stretch. Leave it here and you still might just be perceived as going out on top.

Showing that lightning often doesn't strike twice, especially when it comes to unexpected hit comedies (The Hangover series, Nutty Professor etc.), Bad Santa 2 is a pale imitation of the cult 2003 hit that saw Xmas painted blacker than black thanks to Billy Bob Thornton's alcoholic Santa/petty thief Willie Soke and his partnership with dwarf acquaintance Marcus Skidmore.

Giving Thornton his best role in a number years and taking the idea of Xmas movies to a whole new smut filled level, Terry Zwigoff's original film was one of those experiences you find yourself enjoying more than you know you should and with side characters like the lovable Thurman Murman along for the ride, Bad Santa has found itself a nice long shelf life as fans continue to come back to it all these years later.

With Mean Girls director Mark Waters now at the helm, Bad Santa 2 seemed poised to at least be a respectable follow up to its original incarnation, especially with the cast all returning including the now non-acting Brett Kelly as Thurman and the addition of Kathy Bates going into beast mode as Willie's estranged mother who just so happens to be the criminals new contact for a planned charity robbery but Bad Santa 2 feels like an event too long between drinks and the cast seem to know it.

Looking bored and injecting nothing into their respective roles, Thornton and Cox spit out dialogue without an ounce of charisma while Kelly should've stayed away from an acting return with his pointless reiteration of Thurman (a character that adds nothing to proceedings) who now just annoys rather than brings smiles and the whole Bad Santa lifeblood of smutty jokes, horny Saint Nick's and holiday thieving feels outdated in today's climate portrayed as it is here.

This is a shame for all involved, as it does feel as though another Bad Santa done well, could've fitted in nicely with the festive season now upon us but even die-hard fans of Willie and Marcus will be finding themselves returning to the original in years to come and forgetting this sequel even happened.

There are glimmers of a funny black comedy here, small bits of dialogue are too outrageous not to laugh at while the very idea of this "bad" Santa is still funny but with a rather uninspired plot, tiresome performance's and an over reliance on filthy words and scenarios the whole idea of this project feels forced whereas the first Bad Santa journey felt like a breathe of booze filled fresh air in a sub-genre of Xmas tales that had grown rather stale.

Did you see Bad Santa? Well then, you have seen Bad Santa 2.

Synopsis: Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie teams up once again with his angry little sidekick, Marcus, to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Kathy Bates, Tony Cox Director: Mark Waters

What I said above I was serious about. There is no difference between the first and second movie. The heist is just a bit different.

That's not to say the movie wasn't at all funny, because it really was for the first hour. Then the last third was serious like the first movie. I'm kind of glad I didn't go see this movie in the theaters now.

It is a buyable movie if you have the first one.

Rating: 6 out of 10

I have no problem with foul language, but in this case, this sorry excuse for a movie seems to be nothing but a vehicle to see how many times they can say f-this, f-that, f-you. It's not at all an exaggeration to say that they can't go more than 60 seconds without some kind of expletive. However, constant swearing does not a movie make, especially when most of it is uncalled for. It just makes it all very boring and tedious. Unfunny, stupid, the writers obviously had nothing. It was painful to watch, and endlessly disgusting. Unless you live in a trailer and think that's just great, save yourself and don't bother watching this utter garbage.

I enjoyed this! I got what I was expecting - which was something similar to the first Bad Santa. I will say though that Kathy Bates nailed her role in this and was probably the highlight of this movie - I couldn't stop laughing, she was that hilarious! This was no worse or better than the first film but it was just as fun and entertaining! It's a 7/10 from me

The first film was delightfully wrong and deliciously inappropriate. This one was just painful to watch. Everyone swearing for no reason like it's a pathology of theirs. It was sad to see Thornton, Bates, and everyone else, for that matter, stuck trudging through that B.S., like they were sold a bill of goods and had no choice but to fulfill their contracts and finish it. Believe me, we both tried to view it with open minds but there seemed to be no respite from the mean-spirited negativity. One can usually see hints of how characters may end up redeeming themselves but the blunted, humorless way the story was told during the first half hour failed to instill us with any confidence that the other two-thirds of the film wouldn't be an unpleasant waste of our time. Irredeemably offensive. A tragic waste of everyone's time.

First of all let me say I loved the first Bad Santa, which is to me probably the best Christmas movie ever, equal with Le Père Noël Est Une Ordure. So I was really looking forward to Bad Santa 2. And I can't say I'm disappointed, on the contrary, I just loved it again. The addition of Kathy Bates to the story was brilliant. Billy Bob Thornton is still the worst Santa ever, but his mother (Kathy Bates) is of the same level. Foul language all over, wich probably reflects in the very low ratings this brilliant movie gets. Humorless people just can't take this kind of stuff when it's about their pretty fancy Christmas spirit movies. Bad Santa is for people that don't take this annual event that serious. Brett Kelly is a bit older now and still the same nerd but it worked better in the first movie, still a delight to watch though. I will have now three Christmas movies to watch next year. Three comedies that will make this period easier to swallow.

Look, I don't why this doesn't deserve more than a six from me. It outsanta's first on laughs, the first couple of minutes had me worried, from the start of that wonderful tracking shot along the paved two way drive in downtown shopping L.A. But then, it becomes so much funnier and punchier, laughs a constant. Thornton, a great actor, seriously, wonderfully resumes his role, where he's more pathetic, and repellent, hitting rock bottom, but still doing what he does and loves best, boozing and womanizing, some more beauties, some I said, not as hot as the ones he did, in the original, and one wonders what happen to Lauren Graham's character, Sue, the barmaid, from the first. He's revisited by an arch enemy, well two, our loud, angry cursing dwarf (Tony Cox) and stepping on board this timer (Kathy Bates) who plays Thornton's loser of a mother who had Willie at 13. Thornton is pulled back into action, this time stooping lower, by putting on the Santa Claus suit again, and creating a diversion, where his partners, rob charity money for homeless kids. The kid has grown up, and like Thornton, is exactly the same, asking dumb questions, talking crap, and still believing about the jolly bearded man in the red suit. The continuing humorous dialogue never slacks at all, where I was laughing much more in this one. One scene where Thornton, snaps at good for nothing Mum, interrupted while eating pizza, familiarizes us with a scene from the first one, where he was interrupted while on his lunch break. The line is almost a clone from the line in the original. The two twists in the end were good, where the final scene, which I made for something else at first, was tasteless and unfunny as this kind of same gag involving genitalia, has been done before. What I really loved about this one, which doesn't have to apologize for nothing (another quality I loved) keeping the happy spirit of Christmas alive, is that the characters haven't changed one bit, especially Thornton's and our new player, (Bates-fantastic) is a real nasty piece of work, where we can see, where Thornton got his beautiful bedside manner from. He has got a bit more of a heart in this one, where he has gone a little soft, where you savor these few moments. His decision of goodwill near the end, teaches us a valuable lesson about greed. But why do I feel this doesn't deserve more than a six? I put it down to it's wearing moments, where you feel, it's better to quit while ahead as with other sequels. It could be cause it's done with the same form, and took, lower below the belt laughs, to make it work. It got to a point where it felt tired, and the wearing was showing. It's as though the movie was relying on gross profanity, or too many moments of familiarity, like structure of story, "The walls closing in angle" or scenes, like "the sitting on Santa's lap" which was more meatier here, and the greedy people that could jeopardize, Thornton and company's little job. Too, the plots of conflict, and situations, which I thought were well structured. We again, sharing Thornton's familiar vices and habits, which are never changing. This is where the wearing happens, through the familiarity. Also, the substitute of a beauty, by another one, angelic and hotter, being that of Kendricks, so refreshingly cute, spouting those same words like Graham, who gets she gets butt fu..ed by Thornton. All of this highly poses a the question? "Should there be a Bad Santa 3?" Of course, not. Why ruin a bad thing? And this Santa, is a good one to finish an end note on, ball sack or not. See if you can spot who Mark Starr is here. cause he fooled me, until I read his cast role.

Bad Santa 2 is a strange movie. On one hand the movie has some amazing one-liners from Billy Bob Thornton, as he reprises his role as Willie from the first film. On the other hand, the film is many years late and has a slew of disappointingly shallow side characters thrown into the mix.

The film begins with Willie being lured into going to Chicago by Tony Cox's character Marcus. Essentially, they are going to Chicago to rip off a charity organization. This premise on paper sounds fun, but the execution is sloppy. When Willie gets to Chicago he reunites with his Mother played by Kathy Bates. She calls Willie *beep* constantly throughout the movie, as if the film is trying to force-feed the idea that she is the reason Willie is such a bad man. The problem here is that no one wanted a character in this movie to combat with side Willie and there are multiple scenes in this film where I felt her and Willie were battling for screen time with the latter being the obvious winner. Her character felt very forced, and it honestly started to derail the film as it endured.

Another returning character, Thurman Murman, played by Brett Kelley, is funny at times, but once again it was forced. His character just isn't as funny as he was in the original 2003 hit, as he has aged and seeing this character aged does not just suddenly make it funny. The innocence of him as a child is what made his character so funny in the first movie, and now it just feels annoying because the audience is left saying "grow up already." While his character would have been funny as a little cameo, it just is not funny having him through the duration of the film.

The reason the first Bad Santa worked so well is because the film contrasted pure arrogance and wrath with innocence which made for some truly awkward scenarios to play out. This film tries really hard to be way too raunchy and over-the-top that it misses the point entirely. The side characters in this film include the stereotypical cheating husband boss, nerdy security henchman, and a woman who is more interested in old men than the typical good looking guy. These characters are extremely overacted and they cannot hold a candle to John Ritter and Bernie Mac in the original Bad Santa. It is as if the film feels the need to be raunchier and more vulgar to keep up with the current trend of comedy, but Bad Santadid not need to up this factor so much, it just needed funny scenarios involving Willie.

That being said, there are moments in this film that work really well, and all of them involve Willie. Billy Bob Thornton is on his A-game here and the movie would be a total trash-bag if it wasn't for his saving performance. The scene involving him battle another "jolly" Santa Clause was perfectly played out and had the audience laughing out loud multiple times. It's just too bad that the movie focuses too much on the exaggerated side characters and Willie's mother in particular.

Overall, Bad Santa 2 does not live up to the first one by any means. It has annoying side characters, a lack of focus, and it even goes as far as trying to implement a twist at the end that is not earned at all. I honestly wish rather than a full-fledged sequel we got some 10 minute shorts of "funny situations" involving Willie. It would be much funnier than this full-fledged movie without overstaying its welcome with so many unwanted characters. If you enjoyed the original Bad Santa, then you will definitely laugh in some cases, but you will leave the theater rolling your eyes nonetheless.

Final Score: 2/5
