Bad Santa (2003)

The official trailer for Bad Santa introduces the worst mall Santa in history. Every December, Willie T. Soke, a drunk, foul-mouthed safecracker, takes a job as a department store Santa with his partner Marcus as his elf, so they can rob the store on Christmas Eve. This year the scheme gets complicated by a suspicious store security chief and a lonely, oddball kid who believes Willie really is Santa. Billy Bob Thornton plays Willie and Tony Cox plays Marcus, with Brett Kelly as the kid, Lauren Graham, Bernie Mac, Lauren Tom and John Ritter in one of his last film roles. Terry Zwigoff, director of Ghost World, directs. The R-rated dark comedy opened in theaters on November 26, 2003. It is available to rent or buy digitally.
