100 Word Reviews - Bad Santa (2004)

I’m struggling to think of something to say about Bad Santa, because it is so utterly redundant. It’s not particularly festive, it’s not funny or interesting, and it’s certainly not a platform to showcase any discernible acting ability. It was one of the first in what now seems like a yearly tradition of obscene films released around Christmas time, to provide a low standard of comedy and an almost non-existent level of entertainment. It stands as one of the many films released purely to be outrageous, without having any hint of personality, like a strand of cress in a vindaloo.
