Can't wait to see this one. I'm stuck going to see Cat In the Hat on Friday. I'll have little ones with me, but as soon as I get a chance this is the next one for me.

Saw it last night. Laughed the whole way through. Seeing John Ritter was great too.

Not a movie for everyone, but certainly a movie for me. I laughed and laughed.

Horrible with no redeeming value. Why would any parent let their child be in this movie. The chubby kid has probably suffered irreparable damage to his psyche.

Hummingbird, I'm just curious why you went to this movie. All the reviews said it was in bad taste. The previews didn't mislead. This movie never claimed to have an ounce of redeeming value. If you don't like that kind of dark humor, why did you go? I'm not asking to be a jerk, I'm honestly curious.

Why did I go? I went to see Something's Got to Give with my sister. We misread the time and got there about twenty minutes late. Bad Santa was just starting and we had a day together to kill so we started that one, walked out before it was over and went shopping. I didn't read the review but saw that it had three and a half stars along with the "R" rating. Yes, should have known better..I had heard a little something about what to expect.

While doing an interview, Bill Bob said he felt bad and approched the kids offset to explain that Santa wasn't really like that and he wasn't either. They just looked at him like he was nuts and said "DUH, it's just a movie, we know!"

I was referring to all the cruel fat jokes aimed at a child, not disillusioning him about Santa Claus.

We saw Bad Santa today. Do NOT under any circumstances screw up and take a child to this. He is one baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Santa, hard to be any worse. We thought it was hilarious, maybe me more so than Bigdog. I was hooting during the movie. I seemed to be the only one doing so. Some of the dialogue was SO outrageous. I laughed myself silly. Uhhhhhhhhh, that said, it is not a movie for most of the folks here at the clubhouse. Santa's dialogue is raunchy, raunchy, raunchy. Do NOT under any circumstances let Tess go see this movie. In fact, don't tell her I liked it. In fact, don't tell her I even went, okay? Thanks. I don't think she ever reads down here in the movie section.

ROFL! We went to Bad Santa too. It is amazing that this movie could be made and even released, especially at this time of year - wow. There was a couple in the audience when we went who brought their 3year old. I was very disturbed by that. The movie itself is beyond belief. Strangely enough it is very heartwarming, albeit in a very bent sort of way. Billy Bob is full of surprises. The boy was really fantastic. Honestly, as I watched it was hard to believe what was unfolding. Was I on crack or did I imagine it?

i want to see this and i am loving this thread, although i am wondering if it is dark, as in nasty, or dark as in disturbing and depressing...cuz i like the former, but not the latter... for example... I laughed at the South Park movie more than any other movie. It was really hysterical (and i am not a very consistent fan of the TV show). Juju, and you others? Did you see the South Park movie? Was it profane but uplifting and endearing like that, or creepy and sad? btw, I did just happen to catch the South Park recent episode and it was great.. Would love to hear opinions, esp. from our canadian friends..It was a profane funny Canadian update of the Wizard of Oz.. they sang 'Follow the One Road" (the one road that Canada has). For some reason, South Park loves to bash Canada, so if you are very sensitive, don't watch, but I think they are doing it in a very loving way....

Donut, I think it's a combination of both. More "dark nasty" though.

Donut, I didn't see South Park. This was not a really depressing movie, although it could be if alcoholism is a touchy subject with you. It seemed to have almost no redeeming social value for most of the film. It was just horrifyingly, raunchily funny. And then at the end ... At first I hated the end, just hated it, and then I didn't.

If watching the following is difficult for you then don't go see Bad Santa: - Santa performing acts so lewd they can't be described here (picture him in a dept. store dressing room with a fat salesgirl facing the wall) - a mean black dwarf dressed as an elf and his greedy, calculating wife - Bernie Mac's feet - John Ritter in his last role & being sad that he's gone - Cloris Leachman sleeping through the whole movie I think anyone who likes South Park would be ok with Bad Santa.

Santa getting puking drunk in his Santa suit and then puking. Santa peeing in the Santa suit while in his Santa chair. Yeah, Half, this is your kind of movie. I don't remember the feet.

This was a feelgood holiday movie for adults with goofy senses of humor. It was offensive, obnoxious, and I loved every minute of it. So many people I know didn't want to see Elf because it has the stigma of a holiday movie. Well, this could be for them. Its IS a holiday movie but in the loosest of terms. He is actually endearing at the end. I still find Billy Bob gross though. I still laughed ten times harder at Elf but this was still super funny.

I'm sure Bernie Mac got a pedicure. But...maybe I was on crack.
