Bad Santa

Rating:
Summary: Hilarious
Review: No matter How sophisticated you pretend to be, or how much you pretend to scoff at low brow humor: this movie will make you laugh harder than you ever laughed in your LIfe! The casting is absolutley perfect, so much so that my father, who has loathed anything with John Ritter in it, enjoyed his performance. "The kid" is so delightfully pathetic, you can't help but love him, yet can't help but laugh at him either.And of course Billy Bob Thorton as the drunken, foul-mouthed Santa, casting so well done it might pigeon hole him into that persona much like Keanu Reeves and the Bill and Ted movies. This movie is an instant classic and a new holiday family favorite in at least my household (bear in mind we are on the opposite side of the spectrum that the Cleavers are on) but those in need of a ton of good laughs and an important Christmas message, this is th movie.

Summary: Sweetest Frickin' Movie Of All Frickin' Time
Review: Why isn't every movie like this? This is how people really talk and act. Don't get me wrong it was funny, but so's real life. That's where the phrase "life's funny" came from. That little fat kid reminded me of a fat kid we used to beat the crap out of in school - maybe that's why I liked it so much. No... it was the sex with fat women... no it was the midget... no it was the hot mom from gilmore girls who I don't usually think is hot but seeing her have sex made her infinitely hotter... no it was billy bob pissing himself... no it was seeing john ritter on screen after I knew he was a corpse. You get my point... too much good stuff not to see this movie.

Summary: Dangerously Funny
Review: I empathize with the reviewer who said he almost threw up he was laughing so hard. I was snorting and crying and gasping for air. Billy Bob should have won the Oscar for this role. He is perfect! Hats off to Zwygoff as well. This is a real treat.

Summary: I laughed so hard I almost threw up!
Review: This brillantly scripted movie made me feel like I have my swearing under control. I had to see it twice because the first time, I laughed so hard through most of the movie and missed a great deal of the text. The only other movie that could possibly be funnier is a recent release of EuroTrip. I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD forever. It will be the one gift I give to everyone I know for the next year for birthday's and holiday's. This is a dark comedy so be prepared and I would suggest it for people who have a problem with swearing.

Summary: Santa or Satan ?
Review: Crude, lewd, and uncouth !These are the great adjectives and qualities that has made this flick one of my all time favorite comedies. The material is very much adult humor and not for younger audiences or those who might be offended by the language and gags and sexual content. Acting was thumbs up all the way for Thornton's portrayal of a shopping mall Santa Claus with a nasty disposition towards kids and almost everyone in sight. Talk about some serious personal issues to boot ! The one shortcoming of the film was not seeing John Ritter's character as the anal retentive mall manager role expanded. Not because of his untimely death afterwards but because it seemed like there was more to Ritter's performance to be enjoyed but was untapped---he was that comical ! This was one hilarious dark comedy that I had to see it twice in the theatre. I, too, will be looking forward to purchasing this when it arrives on dvd...

Summary: A True Classic
Review: I'm just counting the days until Bad Santa comes out on DVD cause thats one movie I'm truly waiting for. The first time I saw this movie I fell in love with it. The reasons were simple and it was all because of Billy Bob's character Willy. The whole black humor in the movie is what really got me and its just great. Not to mention that it has more heart than at the time Elf came out or even a zillion more movies. This movie has already held its spot on my number one all time favorite movies and best ever made.

Summary: DAMN, THIS WAS FUNNY!!!!!!!!!
Review: This was probably one of the funnieast movies I've ever seen. When I saw this, I laughed so hard that my mouth hurt after. If you don't like this movie, something's wrong with you. But, this not one of those movies you bring your five-year-old kid to.They have some sex scene's so they'll just think it's gross. I saw so much parents leaving after the first scene. If you haven't seen this movie, get yo ass off the couch and buy the ticket.

Summary: The greatest christmas movie ever!!! (for adults of course)
Review: Forget Billy Blanks and 8 minute abs, just watch Bad Santa and you are guaranteed abs of steel. This is a well rounded movie it made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt...and it made me cry becuase I laughed so hard. This movie is a wonderful change in the genre of Holiday movies, a Darker, foul-mouthed change, and it is great. Billy Bob thorton plays kind of a super hero who is a drunk, profanity spouting mall santa by day the day and a Safe-cracker by night. In this Dark Comedy you will see santa doing things that you would never, and could never picture him doing, like beating up kids, little people (midgets)and drinking and having sex when ever and where ever possible. The co-stars are hillarious, and the story is great. Honestly, I watched 6 movies in the past 3 months and Bad Santa was 3 of them. Women enjoy this movie too, as a matter of fact my girlfriend introduced me to the film and she loved it soooooo much she watched it 4 times. Bottom line if you like dark comedies, enjoy laughing at other peoples misfortune, or just want to work on your sixpack, you will love bad Santa. If you did'nt see it yet, go see it, if you did than see it again (as if you already have'nt). I have'nt laughed that hard in a long time. I cant wait for this to come out on DVD so that I can own it forever!!!

Summary: Bad Santa, (keep the kids away)
Review: I liked it and would say its only for the real black comedy fans who can laugh at the human being cursing like crazy and drinking like a maniac. I like to drink, but this Santa is totally drunk off his keester through most of this movie. He beats up some older kids and calls the younger kids every name in the book, so if you dont like kids, this one is for you as well. The other characters are also very funny and fit right in with the style of the movie. Just make sure the kids dont see it.
