Synopsis

Billy Bob Thornton is back as the alcoholic, greedy and pessimistic Willie Stokes in the latest installment of the Bad Santa franchise. Tony Cox is also back as Willie's foulmouthed dwarf sidekick, Marcus. Once again, the dynamic duo are aiming to steal from a Christmas charity event. Also along for the ride is the chunky and cheerful Thurman Merman, a supremely heavy 250 pound bundle of joy to act as Willie's moral compass. Unfortunately, also along for the journey is Willie's terrible mother, Sunny Soke (A super butch super bitch), whom simultaneously raises the spirits of the group, and lowers the standards of criminal behavior. Not to mention that Willie is further burdened by pining after Diane, a woman with a heart of gold. And a libido of lead.

4.0 VarietyAndrew Barker It's essentially a hangout movie populated exclusively with some of the worst people imaginable, rarely with any sort of solid scene-setting or straight-men to provide context. Read
