Bad Santa Movie Review

Director: Terry Zwigoff

Writer(s): Glenn Ficarra & John Requa

Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Bernie Mac, John Ritter




It is time folks to put the kids to bed and finally watch a Christmas movie that is aimed at an adult audience. "Bad Santa" stars Billy Bob Thorton (The Astronaut Farmer, Monster's Ball, & Friday Night Lights), Bernie Mac (Ocean's Eleven, Soul Men), and the late John Ritter (Three's Company, Problem Child). This is hands down one of the finest Christmas movies that I have ever experienced in my entire life.

I could not stop laughing from the start of this movie until the very end of it. The cast pull off a brilliant piece of work here with this movie. What better could an adult ask for when it comes to this time of the season. Christmas never felt so comical.

Billy Bob Thornton pulls off one of the funniest performances on movie history as a convict posing as a Santa Claus at the mall. I may have to remind many people out there that this movie is by no means intended for children. The raunchy comedy delivers extreme vulgarity and crudeness the likes of which had never been seen in a Christmas movie.

If you are in the mood to laugh until it absolutely hurts then this is the perfect movie for you. This will by no means make you feel any bit of Christmas spirit, but I can guarantee you that the laughs will not stop and you will be satisfied. After the movie is done you too just may have a little thing for Santa Claus.

My Rating:95%
