Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - Justin Lowe
Even more inappropriate physical gags, foul-mouthed dialogue and outrageous situations all contribute to raising the stakes, as Waters pushes the cast to amiably outdo the original.
75
Slant Magazine - Oleg Ivanov
Both a potent rendering of and cure for the holiday blues, Bad Santa 2 shows that even the most hopeless situations can be remedied and that just about anyone is capable of redemption
67
Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
As long as you know what you’re in for, the film is a hilarious good time, a respectable continuation of what made the first "Bad Santa" so fun.
50
New York Post - Kyle Smith
Bad Santa 2 is vulgar, nasty and offensive, but it has flawed aspects also.
42
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Once again, the screenplay (by Johnny Rosenthal and Shauna Cross) goes out of its way to put terrible lines in its characters’ mouths and dares viewers to laugh. However, it’s gotten harder to take this form of jarring lowbrow humor, especially when it serves no purpose beyond shock value.
