Review of Bad Santa 2 (2016) by Jairo A — 30 Jul 2017
Bad Santa was one of those great films that came out of left field and Thornton was expertly cast. This film is repetitive and lacks any of the quality of the first film, much like the Dumb and Dumber sequel did.
The rehash of tired setups and the unusual story leads to nothing, I couldn't believe that the filmmakings thought this was enough to push through a belated sequel. Thornton is not the problem here and seems like the only actor giving a performance, Bates is good but nothing special.
The beats are all over the place and Thornton being cynical and caring was done on the first film, gaining a heart was done already. If you've seen the first, avoid this tired attempt at making a few dollars on the name of a superior first film.
Boring, tired and poorly directed film deserved a better sequel than this. 30-07-2017.
