Picked up a used copy of this movie for $8.

Wow, this really was bad...awful.

Traded it back for $7.

So you've never seen Magnolia then? You don't know bad until you've sat through THAT drivel.

The guys at the last High Body Count Night decided they wanted to see this, and we all busted a gut. Thumbs way up on Badder Santa.

I actually like all of PTA's movies.

I found the movie off-putting for a while, but eventually got into the movie, mainly due to the consistency of the crassness and vulgarity of the main character. Adding the slow overweight boy who (apparently) believe Billy Bob was the real Santa was enough to make the movie very enjoyable. I can see why people didn't like it, it certainly wasn't what I expected, but the writing style was very fresh and the movie moved along at a brisk pace, to the point where I was actually rooting for Billy Bob at the end.

It's the proper frame of mind. Note I said it was High Body Count Night, so the guys *wanted*, nay, demanded, vulgarity and crassness, and it paid off in a big way. Properly attuned, it's pretty hilarious. If you come at it expecting high wit or verbal hijinks, you will be disappointed. But I can't imagine watching it with a disapproving female; that would be painful.
