Résumés(1)
Billy Bob Thornton is back in the red suit as Willie, and he's wilder, drunker and badder than ever. Together with his angry little sidekick, Marcus (Tony Cox), they plan to knock off a charity on Christmas Eve in a scheme devised by Willie's butch bitch of a mother, Sunny. Willie's love of curvaceous women is satisfied by the director of the charity, Diane (Christina Hendricks), who quickly loses her prim and proper demeanor and unleashes her wild side. And they are once again joined by Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly), a lard-arsed, feeble-minded kid with a heart of gold who brings out Willie's sliver of humanity. (Madman Entertainment)

The original Bad Santa entertained me with its political incorrectness. And I am not sure why, but I quite liked this instalment as well. Although I’ve tried to read different opinions in the reviews on this site to understand why the second instalment fell into such disgrace, I have to admit, I still do not understand why it should be that way. The only argument which seemed relatively justifiable was that the second instalment was far less funny. But I don't fully agree. I’ve laughed quite a bit. Billy Bob Thornton was once again great and the actresses around him were great as well. As a result, I’ve laughed a lot plus there was something to look at. Sure, the film is not for everyone, but that was the same with the first instalment.

Santa is still a pervert, but so is his mom. The film relies on Kathy Bates, who is absolutely fantastic. Otherwise, it's just the same as the first film, only Billy Bob is a bit more familiar, and the crime plot is simply boring because it unfolds in well-trodden paths. Beyond that, it's still beautifully politically incorrect in places. And that's about it.
