Come on, this was one of the better comedy sequels and it should've done


Better at the BO. Not as good as the first and I'm not saying this is a comedy classic or anything but compare it to Caddyshack 2, Airplane 2, Blues Brothers 2000, Anchor Man 2, Hangover 2,3, Ace Ventura 2, Police Academy 2-7, weekend At Bernies 2 and the Mask 2. For you people saying this is the worst comedy sequel of all time, give me a F break and watch some of these abortions that got away I mentioned

How could I forget The movie that caused suicide rates to go up. Little Fockers

It was better than Dumb and Dumber To, but that's not saying much. Bad Santa 2 wasn't very good although it could have been.

I gave Bad Santa 2 a 6/10 which would be 'Good' for me but not great.

Really missed Bernie Mac and John Ritter in this one. RIP to those awesome comedians.

I loved the sequel and thought it was true to the original, truley baffled by seeing many negative and "meh" reviews

Agree. It was much better than Dumb & Dumber To, but Bad Santa also wasn't nearly the success as many other comedy sequels as well. It was more of a cult classic than anything. Didn't help it came out a decade after the first at a time when many comedy sequels were being negatively recieved by audiences and critics and came out a time with lots of competition. Didn't help the studio did a terrible job marketing it.

Sorry but no way was this a good comedy sequel. The only thing I liked in it was Christina Hendricks for obvious reasons. It just seemed like on the level of Dumb and Dumber When Harry met Lloyd.

It’s great, I have no idea why it has a low rating. How can anyone who enjoyed the cynicism, filth and un-PC humour of the first film not enjoy this? It’s even got Kathy fucking Bates.

It came out just as Woke was getting going, maybe it fell foul of their insane, prudish cult and they turned on it 🤷🏻‍♂️
