5.0 out of 5 starsThe man beneath the beard
By H. Neilson on 24 July 2004
Format: DVD
I have to strongly disagree with the reviewer who found no redeeming qualities in this magnificent, hard-edged comedy. Sure, it's not for everyone - if you can't get past some well-constructed profanity, then you're not going to enjoy it - but if it's not for you, why not simply accept that fact, and let others enjoy it, rather than run it down?
But enough live-and-let-live. The movie deals with the sort of weird, real-life comedy that actually happens ... not contrived Hollywood cutesiness. Story may seem to meander a little, but that's more to do with the realistic tone of the movie than any lack of plotting; au contraire, Blackadder, it's superbly scripted. The acting throughout is faultless, and the comic timing is spot-on. It couldn't have been better made. But the bottom line ... it's very, very, very funny, in a realistic, bitter way that will strike chords with anyone who lives outside of a coccoon. It's a million miles from the smug, safe, self-aware gloop of most Hollywood comedies; more Amelie than American Pie. A wonderful breath of not-politically-correct fresh air.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe "ultimate" anti festive spirit movie
By Mr Baz TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 24 Nov. 2014
Format: DVD
The concept of making a Christmas film that flies in the face of the "normal family Christmas film" was a slightly risky plan, but this has become a firm favourite for many viewers keen to depart from the usual proceedings.

"Bad Santa" is just that, the film opens with a rendition of Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.2 a very well known song and you'd think out of place for a film like this, but the opening scene showing a camera slowly panning down to a bar..moving through the happy customers we see a half drunk Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton) drinking shorts in his Santa outfit on his own away from the festive fun and others. What follows is a "commentary" by Billy he's been to prison, had his eye socket punched out. The film title comes up just after Thornton "throws up" outside the bar, it's a fantastic opening sequence and sets the pace for the entire film.

The story is a bit more interesting than some might think Willie isn't just a Santa for fun or for a bit of extra money it's a cover for a well organised "safe breaking" operation. Willie is joined by his "elf" partner Marcus (Tony Cox) both begrudgingly do their "Santa" act only to get to know the layout of the store (and security codes) a short period of work at a few places and they've made enough money to last them for the year with their "heists"

Cast wise we also have Sue played by Lauren Graham (Billy's bartender girlfriend whom he meets one night complete with a hilarious in the car Santa sex scene) The late John Ritter who plays Bob Chipeska the store manager. Gin Slagel (Bernie Mac) is onto the duo and is the security manager for the shopping centre.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsLove him and loathe him
By SBno1 TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 28 Dec. 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Amazon have a habit of dumping all reviews into all film formats. So please note that this review is for the Blu-Ray version and so quality and features may vary.

The picture quality of this film is exactly what I would expect from Blu-Ray, sharp lines, good definition, clear and colourful. I can't comment too much on audio quality as this was playing through standard TV speakers, but what I heard was fine.

This is a very funny film, but if you are likely to be offended by the overuse of bad language, course sexual humour, a Santa that hates children and makes his feelings known to them and glamourising drunken behaviour, then you may want to steer clear of this film.

For those not familiar with the film the story centres around 2 burglars who, every year, scope the security of a department store in the run up to Christmas and then when the safe is full, they break into it and steal the money.

Willie (Billy Bob Thornton) is a safe cracker and gets employment in a stores Christmas grotto as Santa. His side kick and brains behind the operations is Marcus (Tony Cox). He dresses up as an elf and due to his size is able to traverse the ventilation ducts and bypass security. It is a brilliant plan that pays dividends every year, but there is one major flaw; Willie is a drunk who is filled with hatred for everything and everyone.

In Bad Santa they pick up a job where the store manager Bob Chipeska (John Ritter) is a socially awkward boss who relies upon store detective Gin (Bernie Mac) to sort out the day to day problems that drunk Willie is causing for the store.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA true marvel all year round!
By Hunter T. Thompson on 30 July 2009
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
As gritty and offensive as parts of this film may seem to be to the unsuspecting viewer, this really is a thoughtful and intelligent movie and just perfect to watch on a quiet evening, no matter what time of year.

The story and dialogues are still refreshing when watching for the second time, the characters can be related to (even although there may be quite a bit of over-acting here and there) and the way this film manages the balance between the old friendship-story and rather explicit jokes really is something. Oh, and the picture and sound quality of the Blu-ray are just fine as well (Did I mention the surprisingly classy soundtrack?).

So, if you are grown-up enough to see beyond the sticky surface, be ready to find one very fine film indeed with this one!
