Bad Santa
Before Bad Teacher there was Bad
Santa, another addition to the crass comedies that have come out over the past
years.
This one centres on an alcoholic,
anti-social thief, who finds a way to get away with robberies by dressing up as
Santa.
For all it’s outrageous humour, it’s
the emotional scenes that stick the most, with scenes of Billy Bob Thornton
drinking at a bar ringing emotional alarm bells for his character. This
character needs help, and it’s that core that makes most of the film. However,
there are some funny, if a bit rude, jokes in the film. It’s a film certainly
for the fans of American Pie-style humour. Those are the level of the jokes, so
be warned if you think this is a family film. It is definitely not. It’s a
funny film, not hilarious, but still quite funny and it does bring an edgy
darkness sensation to the whole proceedings.
