Skooch95 - Top notch funny here folks. Thornton’s awesome in a different way than you could ever imagine. Tony Cox is excellent as his helper elf, pushed to the limit by Thornton’s self-destructive sensibilities. MMmmm Lauren Graham, if there are truly Santa groupies out there, I might have to switch careers for a month or so during the year.

Bryan Lienesch83 - It's very funny if not a tid too predictable.

Dan O'Neill80 - Though there are some moral voids in Bad Santa, there is still some very funny black comedy that works well with the plot, and with Billy Bob Thornton’s dark but somehow likable performance as Willie.
