Review of Bad Santa (2003) by Phil W — 26 Dec 2012
"Bad Santa" is a very crude film, with lots of swearing, sex and alcohol. It's the exact opposite if what we expect from Santa. Such out of stereotype behaviour is at times funny, but what stands out from "Bad Santa" is the touching bond between Santa and the plump kid.
The unlikely bond between them signals their desire for friendship and attachment. The kid's plea for a present from Santa, and his genuine offer of friendship to Santa is touching. Santa's effort regarding the pink elephant is satisfactory to watch, bringing warmth to the hearts.
"Bad Santa" is not the typical Christmas film, but it still touches your heart with its unique way.
