Instantly qualifying as a perennial cult favorite, Bad Santa is as nasty as it wants to be, and there's something to be said for comedy without compromise. The Coen brothers conceived the basic idea and served as executive producers, but it's director Terry Zwigoff (Crumb, Ghost World) who brings his unique affinity for losers and outcasts to the twisted tale of Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton), a hard-drinking, chain-smoking, foul-mouthed sexaholic safe-cracker who targets a different department store every holiday season, playing Santa while he cases the joint with his dwarf elf-partner Marcus (Tony Cox). With comedic support from Bernie Mac, Lauren Graham, Cloris Leachman, and John Ritter in his final film, Thornton milks the lowbrow laughs with a slovenly lack of sentiment, warming Bad Santa's pickled heart just enough to please a chubby misfit (Brett Kelly, hilariously deadpan) who may or may not be mentally challenged. As dry as an arid martini and blacker than morning-after coffee, Bad Santa is an instant cure for yuletide schmaltz, and if you think this appropriately R-rated comedy is suitable for kids, your parenting skills are no better than Willie's. --Jeff Shannon

 NEVER GOT THE DVD January 8, 2009
I ORDERED A DVD 11/30/08. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT AS OF 1/7/09. OF COURSE IT IS PAID FOR ON THE PURCHASE DATE.
 I laughed so hard I choked December 29, 2008
You have to understand this is USMC style funny, not New Yorker magazine, or Disney style funny. People who like one style generally do not like the other.
A Santa so bad he's good - uhhh.... December 25, 2008
Billy Bob Thornton stars as a blasted out old Charles Bukowski character who runs a scam with a dwarf to run a Santa and Elf gig in department stores every Christmas so that he can rob them blind on Christmas Eve. Happy holidays. Santa Bob wants to quit the game, but he just can't stay away; and so, sure enough, he agrees to do one last job in Phoenix (you can see where this is going...), he digs himself deeper and deeper in a drunk hole, then things start to go awry - a security guard wants a cut, a magical mystery kid shows up, Santa Bob meets a sweet thing that has a thing for Santa Claus... Heat it ain't, but it's pretty good black humour. It was directed by Terry Zwigoff, but feels like a Coen Brothers film (without the dash). Well, they produced it, probably because they liked the script but knew it wouldn't work with the usual Coen overtreatment.
Very Funny!!! December 24, 2008
A Christmas movie for adults to get ready for the hectic time of year for family and friends. A comedy to cheer you up and definitely make you laugh out loud.
 Disturbingly Hilarious December 23, 2008

Bad Santa is a comedy released in 2003 directed by Terry Zwigoff (Ghost World, Crumb). Zwigoff has a unique sense of humor that a general audience might often miss, but here the humor could not be easier to detect. I don't have Zwigoff's cut of the film but I do hear it's quite different. The film is produced by the Cohen brothers (Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski). It is hard to call Bad Santa a holiday film. It's more of an anti-holiday film I suppose, because almost all of its charm is within the film's shocking dark humor. It stars Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Lauren Graham and the late Bernie Mac and John Ritter. It was Ritter's final film. Thornton was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance.
Willie (Thornton) is an alcoholic who, along with his friend Marcus (Cox), work at the mall for the holiday season as a Santa and Santa's elf, respectively. The two of them work together to plot a robbery of the mall's safe every year. Willie's increasing alcoholism and decreasing thievery skills make him less effective as a partner in crime for Marcus each Christmas. Soon a little lonely boy approaches Willie and he seems to believe that Willie is indeed the real Santa Claus. The mall's manager Bob (Ritter) begins to see what's happening, and the security chief Gin, an extortionist, also gets involved.
I guess this story has the kind of the humor that I could appreciate. There are some true holiday movies that I can appreciate as well, but I can certainly see how this one would rub people in a very different direction. This is a dirty film that wants to push buttons, but it also happens to be hilarious and original.
