Summary
Directed by Terry Zwigoff in 2003, 'Bad Santa' is a dark comedy that subverts the traditional Christmas film genre. The movie follows Willie T. Stokes, a foul-mouthed, alcoholic criminal who poses as Santa Claus to rob department stores annually with his accomplice Marcus. Unlike typical holiday films, 'Bad Santa' offers a cynical and humorous take on the season, exploring themes of redemption, friendship, and the struggle between self-destructive tendencies and personal growth.
