Bad Santa
I liked Bad Santa. I thought Billy Bob Thorton was great. He plays the ultimate low life. He drinks, he stinks, he pisses himself, all while being Santa Claus, and that is really funny stuff. You see, he is a thief. He stakes out the department stores, with his midget sidekick, while playing Santa and an elf for the little kids to sit on his lap and do tell what they want for Christmas. So, anyway, Billy Bob is amazing. He is really disgusting and disturbing in this film. He suffers from alcoholism and a sick fetish for um . . . well . .. I can't say it here. In fact, I'm wondering why there hasn't been a Bad Santa thread yet? Am I hallucinating? 😕 So then Billy Bob Meets this boy who is chubby and gets picked on and basically moves into the little boy's house with the grandma who is delerious and has no idea that Billy is a stranger from off the street. The little boy's dad is in prison, and the mom died I think, so Billy Bob moves in and even drives around in the dad's car. Scoundrel. Then, John Ritter and Sedrick The Entertainer, department store heads, figure out Billy Bob's scam leading to a climactic moment that will leave you . ... . . a bit depressed, actually. This wasn't the happiest of movies and is definatley not a date flick. I liked it though. 🙂
