synopsis
Willie T. Stokes is a washed-up, wise-cracking Department Store Santa who can't help but be more naughty than nice. Underneath his ill-fitting red suit, Willie is actually a safecracker who makes one big score every year--on Christmas Eve. As shoppers head home from the mall, this Santa and his ingenious Elf--Willie's midget partner-in-crime Marcus--crack the store safe and make off with their own holiday stash. But then comes Phoenix. Here Santa and his Elf find their annual heist endangered by a pesky store manager, a savvy mall detective, a sexy Santa fan and an innocent but beleaguered 8-year-old misfit who decides to believe that Willie--as intoxicated, acid-tongued and felonious as he seems to be--is the real Santa he's been seeking.

If you've had it with all that feel-good holiday sludge, hook up with the combustibly nasty Bad Santa. It could become a Christmas perennial for Scrooges of all ages. Billy Bob Thornton is sinfully funny as Willie T. Stokes, a butt-smoking, booze-swilling, hooker-screwing department-store Santa who hates the product-whoring "little shits" who sit on his lap. Why does he do it? He and his elf partner (Tony Cox) rob the malls every year -- the elf crawls through the air vents -- and live off the
'Tis the season--to be a callous, alcoholic jerk. At least, that's what season it is if you're a man who consistently spends it dressed up as Santa Claus perpetrating the same con every year on a local mall with the help of a less-than-happy little elf. Story Willie T. Stokes ((Billy Bob Thornton) is seriously on the skids. He may dress up like Santa Claus, but his nose ain't red 'cause he's cold; he's a pretty nasty alcoholic when we first meet him, and it's all downhill from there. His
