Alcoholic disaster Willie Soke, saved from suicide by loveable man-child Thurman Merman, moves to Chicago where he runs up against his old deeply unpleasant dwarf sidekick Marcus Skidmore and his even more deeply unpleasant mother Sunny. Together, the 3 of them plan to rob a charity which hires down-and-outs to be - yes, you guessed it - Santas under the guidance of dodgy philanthropist Regent and his big-breasted sex-starved wife Diane. Crime and sex ensues.I never saw the original, but I get the joke: wouldn't it be funny if there was a Santa whose every quality was diametrically opposed to everything Santa stood for? Well, apparently, it was such a good joke that it merits a sequel, albeit it had to wait for 13 years.This film has an ugly start - the fundamentally unlikeable Wille Soke, bemoaning his life, tries (and fails) to commit suicide. It then moves through a series of unpleasant events in which unlikeable people do unlikeable things (the most likeable of these being when Christina Hendricks repeatedly yells "F*ck me!", in the throes of a knee-termbler with a fully-Santa-clothed Billy Bob Thornton against a dumpster down a scuzzy back street alley.The only likeable character is Thurman Merman, 8 years old in the original movie and now 21 but acting in every respect as if he was still 8: a nice character, but not even slightly believable.The film contains profanity on an industrial pollution scale (not unexpected, but not very edifying either) and is profoundly unpleasant in almost every respect.Yet I laughed. Not constantly, and not that deeply, but it did raise chuckles fairly frequently. I suspect that this makes me a bad person, but I take comfort from the fact that I am no worse than the people who made this horrible film.I am ashamed to say that my lower lip trembled during the Silent Night sequence.

That was too much of anything! A lot of swearing & sexual behaviour. I didn't see the first one, but I guess it was better. "Santa 2" should not be in the title. It may be, without any problem, just "Bad", because it's bad, as a whole. It has some funny and goofy scenes, but you can barely sketch a smile by them (at least that happened in my case). Don't put it in your watchlist, wishlist, or whatever... It doesn't worth a penny.

I enjoyed this! I got what I was expecting - which was something similar to the first Bad Santa. I will say though that Kathy Bates nailed her role in this and was probably the highlight of this movie - I couldn't stop laughing, she was that hilarious! This was no worse or better than the first film but it was just as fun and entertaining! It's a 7/10 from me

A awful film with all jokes fro the first just repeated in a more crude fashion with no real store character building or anything of note. Do not watch this film i want my hour and a half back. I did like the first one but this one felt like it was just made for the money i wish i had something positive to say about this film however i do not.
