SYNOPSIS

“Santa is even-tempered. Santa does not hit children over the head who kick him.
Santa does not have a three-martini lunch. Santa wears a good deodorant.”

Instructions to would-be Santa Clauses from Western Temporary Services, world’s largest supplier of Santas.

This year, the traditional Christmas tale will never be the same with the cleverly twisted, merrily irreverent story of a Santa so bad he’s wickedly funny. Terry Zwigoff’s BAD SANTA stars Billy Bob Thornton as one of the most crooked, corrupted and downright hysterical Kris Kringles ever to grace the screen.

Inspired by a mix of movie classics, including the outrageous one-liners and outcasts of “The Bad News Bears“ and the riotous impertinence of “South Park,” with a dash of the holiday spirit of “A Christmas Carol,” albeit one that would make Dickens wince, BAD SANTA is a Christmas comedy unlike any other.”
