Bad Santa

Simply put this is one of the fucking funniest films I have ever seen! From the man who brought us GHOSTWORLD comes this moraly bankrupt tale of a man who poses as a Santa in department stores simply to case the joint out and rob it on Christmas eve.....and this is his good side. Billy Bob Thornton truly should have received an Oscar for his work here because it is over the top. So over the top I wonder if he acted at all or if he just stayed drunk for the whole shoot and addlibed the damn thing. It doesn't because the end result is perhaps one of the most offensive films ever made. There is not a punch to be pulled and nobody is safe. Tony Cox, Bernie Mac and Lauren Graham are simply great here and John Ritter makes his last big screen appearance. If Terry Zwigoff can ever top this masterpiece of offense I will be greatly surprised!
