Review of Bad Santa 2 (2016) by Joseph N — 01 Mar 2017

Dude, with all of the bad reviews, I was so ready to hate this. But honestly, the more I watched, the more I felt like I was taking crazy pills for disagreeing with all of the other reviews this much.

Sure, it's crass, and extremely low-brow, but look at the source material for crying out loud. If you're not expecting something dirty, you're looking in the wrong place. There's a place for high comedy, and there's a place for gutter jokes, and this is the latter. And for what it's worth, I feel like it does this very well. Not to mention, it throws some charm in there as well. It might have ended a little more cheesy than something like this deserved, but so did the first one, and I was just as much a sucker for it then as now. Honestly, if you legitimately like the first one, to hell with the ratings on this. Give it a try. You might be surprised, like I was.
