Bad Santa (DVD)

THIS IS DEFINATELY FOR ADULTS ONLY!!!! SICK HUMOUR WITH LAUGH OUT LOUD MOMENTS ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AS BILLY BOB THORNTON PLAYS WILLIE, YET ANOTHER ABSOLOUTELY DISGUSTING AND RUDE BUT EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING CHARACTER. THIS TIME HE'S A THIEF, WHO COME CHRISTMAS, DISGUISES HIMSELF AS A SANTA CLAUS IN A SHOPPING CENTRE SO HE AND HIS MIDGET SIDEKICK MARCUS (TONY COX) CAN GET INTO THE SAFE AND STEAL THE MONEY.
WILLIE'S DRINKING AND GAMBLING PROBLEMS HOWEVER, INTERFERE WITH HIS ABILITY TO WORK AS A SANTA, AND HE GETS HIMSELF INTO ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS AND HILARIOUS SITUATIONS.
WHEN A YOUNG BOY (BRETT KELLY) CALLED THURMAN MERMAN COMES TO VISIT SANTA, WILLIE SEES IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAYBE STEAL SOME MONEY, AND SO OFFERS HIM A LIFT HOME. ON ENTERING THE HOUSE, HE FINDS THAT THE ONLY PERSON LIVING WITH THURMAN IS HIS CRAZY GRANDMA, SO HE DECIDES TO MOVE IN.
AT FIRST HIS ONLY INTENTION IS TO STEAL FROM THE FAMILY, BUT AS THE DAYS GO ON AND CHRISTMAS GETS CLOSER, HE BEGINS, FOR THE FIRST TIME, TO FEEL PART OF A FAMILY AND GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT, AND BY THE END OF THE FILM, HE ALMOST, NEARLY, IS A CHANGED MAN!
I WISH I COULD DESCRIBE THIS FILM BETTER, BUT WORDS REALLY CAN'T SAY HOW FUNNY IT IS. THERES LOTS OF STRONG LANGUAGE, SO IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, BE SURE TO AVOID IT, AND DON'T SHOW IT TO THE KIDS!!!
DEFINATELY WORTH A LOOK, I THINK ITS GREAT ANYWAY! IT REALLY IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST FILMS I'VE EVER SEEN.

It is a side wripping funny film but beware the title - this is NOT for children! some of the humour is direct with sexual references. If you need a cheer me up film to perk up your new year this is the one to buy.

looked funny on the ads when it came out, wasn't funny in the slightest.... Avoid! really poor jokes

PURCHASED ON RECOMENDATION AS A LAUGH OVER CHRISTMAS PERIOD. WE FOUND THE CONTENT OFFENSIVE, BAD LANUAGE THROUGHOUT,NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED.

One of the most funniest films i have seen in a long time. Billy Bod Thornton is just one of the best!!!!

Bad Santa is a VERY funny, VERY crude and VERY rude movie! (NOT one for the kids). Don't watch it if your easily offended. BUT l love it!!!!

funny as hell.one of my all time greats.i love the story and actors are really funny and there is not a bad moment in it.

This is THE Anti-Christmas movie, not one for the kids, funny as hell and near the knuckle on a few occasions, not a film you will get bored with and stands up well to repeated viewings, pretty sure if this ever gets aired on terrestrial TV the cuts they feel they will have to make will make the film totally unwatchable, so definitely one to rent or buy.

Its a a great christmas film, though not for children,a very funny and enjoyable movie that some how hits the heart strings, and once watched I just had to have it on DVD, at two pounds with free post and packing you can't loose.

Offbeat and hilarious, this is the perfect antidote to Hollywood's annual glut of sugary Christmas movies. Underneath layers of anger, sarcasm, profanity and booze, Bad Santa ultimately reveals a soft heart. For those who loathe the holidays or have a blacker-than-normal sense of humor, this is best gift you could possibly get this holiday season.

good film very funny, billy bob is great as bad santa, a total drop out on the blg for christmas with his dwarf friend in toe

this film was so funny, great story line. this is a must buy film. a great addition to my christmas films,the swearing is bad for younger viewers.if you dont like rude or swear words dont buy this film.

Hi,
This movie is great because its totaly different to any other christmas movie you may have seen....
Its funny but also contains a strong adult theme with lots of swearing and sexual references.Its certainly not a movie for the kids, however if you can put them to sleep early-its well worth watching....

This movie is indeed ALL that other reviewers say it is...and if you can find 'BADDER Santa' with only a few more minutes of additional material gives the whole thing such an extra dimension I urge those who enjoy this to seek this other version out.
I am no particular fan of Billy-Bob Thornton ,but here he is pretty well perfect and the kid and supporting team all very well cast. -A great antidote to too many saccharine Christmas movies and one which I hope may -along with perhaps Scrooged -become classics for future years.

I think this movie is excellent i really enjoyed watching this with mykids ,they laughed so much.Allthough it does have alot of bad language!!,but still agreat,funny movie to watch.it has seens that maybe younger children should not watch,but overall i brought this for my oldest son as i knew he would like it,for the first time we actually sat down together to watch.Ithink i made a great choice in buying this movie as you can watch it again and again.

The dvd is a excellent film it very funny and enjoyable to watch. you can watch the film over and over again it so funny. it about a bad santa that have just come from the jail and i act like a good santa but he is realy a bad santa and is the santa in the store and he stills from the store.and one day a young lad comes up to him say that he get bully from a gang of lads and he tell him to go and sort his one problem out,he thens find out that the young lad lives on his own with is grandmother, so the bad santa goes there and tell that he want to come and live with im so the young lad let him stay with him.put in the end the police finds him and take im away.

One of the funniest films i've ever seen. It will be a classic, i'm quite sure i'll be watching this time and time again, couldnt think of a better way to kill an hour and a half. I saw this film at Christmas Eve and i made it a priority to go out and buy it ASAP. :-)

this is a very funny film and would definately reccomend to every1! it has good actors and good scences in it and is not sutible for some children as it has some bad language in it and i dont think kids would like to see santa acting the way that he does in this movie!but apart from that it is very funny and great movie to watch for a good night in tha house!

very dark comedy not laugh out loud, i bought it because i had seen it on a rented dvd. the film also has a
sentimental side to it. A very different side to christmas but one that so often could be true after all you never know who is behind the disguise of santa !

This was a request from my Sister - she had tried everywhere to try and purchase a copy - she was delighted when I managed to source the DVD on e-bay - and reasonably priced!!
