Synopsis

"Bad Santa 2" is a dark comedy film directed by Mark Waters and starring Billy Bob Thornton as Willie Soke, a foul-mouthed, alcoholic conman who masquerades as a department store Santa Claus during the holiday season. Joined by his equally devious sidekick Marcus (played by Tony Cox), the duo plans to rob a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. However, things take a hilarious turn when Willie's estranged mother, Sunny (played by Kathy Bates), enters the picture, adding a new layer of dysfunction to their criminal escapade. Christina Hendricks joins the cast as Diane, the charity's director who unwittingly becomes entangled in Willie and Marcus' heist. As the trio navigates their dysfunctional relationships and comedic mishaps, the film delves into themes of redemption, family, and the true meaning of Christmas. Packed with irreverent humor and unexpected moments, "Bad Santa 2" is a raunchy yet heartwarming tale that will have audiences both cringing and laughing out loud. Released in 2016, this comedy-crime-drama is a must-watch for those looking for a twisted take on the holiday season.
