I saw Bad Santa and laughted alot.

It was far from a great film...but the scenes between BIlly Bob and this pathetic fat kid were funny and often sweet. It could have been a great film.... Overall, stilll better than most and a greaet antidote to typical christmas saccarin b.s.

Anyone else see it?

1. I saw it and laughed a lot, too.

Not great, but lots of laughs, and a sweet ending. Mrs. Santa's sister has me out shopping for a Santa costume. Hubba!

2. I saw it, and liked it

but I couldn't believe my eyes when the lights went up and a few rows in front of me was a family who had brought their girl, aged maybe 8. What is WRONG with these people? It reminded me of when I went to see Saving Private Ryan and saw a couple with their two boys, aged maybe 6 and 7. They should've been ticketed for bad parenting if you ask me.

3. Maybe they didn't read any reviews.

This is definitely NOT a kid's movie.

8. I hear you. I cant believe how retarded some parents are....

I've seen them bring 3 yr. olds to a horrifically violent movie.... I'd watch the kids sit there, transfixed by the violence... Some people are just fcked up.

I mean this film is called Bad Santa... who would take a kid? It's rated R.

4. I loved it, but couldn't figure out one thing.

Why did the Indian guy try and beat up Billy Bob?
Am I the only one who kept waiting for that to be explained?

Other than that, the movie was hilarious. I think the 'elf' actually was the star of the movie more so than 'Santa'.

7. I'm guessing he had "issues" with a previous Santa.

That's all I could gather from the scene.

I like the total randomness of the fat kid making a wooden pickle for Billy Bob.

All the santa/kid interaction stuff cracked me up...

5. Gotta see it

Anything with Billy Bob Thornton is usually hilarious and/or bizarre.

6. I thought it was great.

It made me laugh when Santa would get so mad at the kids, like he really took everything personal. "Get this kid away from me, he's freakin' me out."
