Bad Santa

In Bad Santa, Willie Soke (Billy Bob Thornton) is a conman and a thief who, with his partner Marcus (Tony Cox), has an unusual seasonal job. Every Christmas, they work as Santa and his helper in different department stores, using this cover to rob the establishments blind after hours. Willie, a man troubled by alcoholism and self-loathing, strikes up an unlikely friendship with a naive but kind-hearted kid named Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly). This relationship sets Willie on a path that might lead him towards redemption or ruin. The movie is a dark comedy that turns holiday tropes on their head, offering viewers a twisted yet hilarious take on the genre.
