Reviews

The A.V. Club -
Much like "School Of Rock," Bad Santa salvages a tired, paint-by-numbers formula by resisting it every step of the way, stubbornly refusing to stop its juvenile fun until the last possible moment.

Chicago Tribune -
The foulest holiday movie I've ever seen -- and the funniest.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Happens to be extremely funny -- at times sidesplittingly so -- thanks to Zwigoff's way with raw irreverence and Thornton's perfectly pitched, ready-for-anything performance.

Los Angeles Times -
It unapologetically exults in its characters' glorious imperfection. It's good to know that oddballs, outcasts and people who don't look like Barbie and Ken still have a place in American movies and that not everyone in Hollywood pays lip service to the nice and polite.

The New York Times -
Takes all the Christmas season's bad vibes and converts them into an achingly funny and corrupt dark comedy.
