The drunkard Willie (Billy Bob Thornton) and his partner, the midget Marcus (Tony Cox), work once a year, near Christmas, dressed like Santa Claus and his helper elf in department stores. However, their intent is to rob the place in the Christmas Eve. When Willie meets a lonely fat boy (Brett Kelly) and the hot bartender Sue (Lauren Graham), he learns the meaning of Christmas and gets in trouble.
"Bad Santa" is a gem of black humor, and certainly one of the most "politically incorrect" movies I have ever seen. Imagine a drunkard outrageous Santa Claus cursing children, having "unconventional" sex with fat ladies, stealing safes in department stores in the Christmas Eve, lying to everybody, beating children and pissing on the clothes and chair of Santa Claus. Billy Bob Thornton does all of these bad things (and more) while working dressed as Santa Claus along a couple of days before Christmas. Further, all the characters of this movie are corrupt somehow or stupid. The hilarious happy ending is not so happy and I really liked this movie a lot. This movie is dedicated to John Ritter, who plays the manager of a department store, in his last work on the screen. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Papai Noel às Avessas" ("Santa Claus Backwards")
