Bad Santa (2003)
He doesn't care if you're naughty or nice
Join us at the lavish Hippodrome Casino for Terry Zwigoff's screwball black comedy starring Billy Bob Thornton as Willie Stokes - the sleaziest Santa the screen has ever seen. When he's not knocking back quarts of cheap glog, he's knocking off department stores with his pint-sized partner in crime - and we haven't even got to his attitude to the kids who come to sit on his knee. But after a botched robbery leaves our antihero stuck with a young lad who just happens to believe him to be the real Father Christmas, Willie begins to see a different side to the festive season. Bad Santa is vulgar and foul-mouthed, yet somehow manages to capture all that is right about Christmas. Not bad for a film featuring a dwarf kicking a child in the testicles.
