See Santa Claus. (Actually, it's Billy Bob Thornton in a bad Santa outfit.) See Santa Claus drink. Santa Claus is a f**king alcoholic and big-time thief. Oh, by the way, Santa's favorite word is "f**k," and if you don't like it you better skip this movie. In fact, skip this movie anyway.
Santa's scam is to take a job as a department-store Santa, work until Christmas Eve, then use his position to rob the store and make his getaway.
Along the way Santa meets a pathetic kid who is the victim of bullies. Santa needs a place to stay, so he moves into the kid's house (kid's parents are conveniently gone). Inexplicably, Santa grows a heart.
So we have a happy, sentimental ending? Not quite. The kid is really, really not appealing, and Santa is really, really not a sympathetic character.
Bad Santa is a bad movie. Grade: C-
