Bad Santa: The Director’s Cut

The cult comedy Bad Santa stars Billy Bob Thornton as an alcoholic conman whose seasonal jobs as a department store Santa serve as a front for a series of robberies pulled off with the assistance of his little helper. His profoundly dysfunctional life of crime becomes even more complicated when a sad little boy works his way into the flea-bitten Santa’s Grinch-like heart. With Tony Cox, Bernie Mac, and John Ritter in his last role. (88 mins., video)
