Storyline

It's the most wonderful time of the year again, and the not-in-the-slightest reformed safe-cracker Willie Soke is breathing the air of freedom once more, failing miserably to keep himself afloat thirteen whole years after his last achievements. Still addicted to alcohol and at the end of his tether, Soke will reluctantly accept his former sidekick Marcus' truce and his daring plan for another Yuletide caper--this time targeting a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. However, as Willie slips back into his Santa's red suit again, much to his disappointment, he will discover that another partner in crime is also eager to join in the heist: his desperate for cash estranged mother, Sunny. Can Willie work around his mummy issues, especially now that the closest thing to family, Thurman Merman, comes to town for a visit?

User Reviews

Know what kind of christmas party you're going to...

It's Bad Santa 2. Twice as dirty, twice as offensive, twice as shocking and twice as hilarious.

It's not often a dirty, foul mouthed and dark comedy film like this is actually well done...complete with jokes that actually land!

Know what kind of Christmas party you are walking into - this is a crazy one - and embrace it!
