Not a Good Movie, But Better Than the First One (REVIEW)
For what it is, Bad Santa 2 is enjoyable. One of my problems with the first one was that I thought that it had good laughs, but they were spaced out. It wasn't consistently funny. With Bad Santa 2, however, I thought that it was consistent. I was laughing throughout the entire movie. Billy Bob Thornton was great again. As with the last film, I didn't think he was the standout of the movie, but I thought he did a very good job in leading it. And the supporting cast was great. Tony Cox was about the same as last time. Sometimes he was hysterical, and sometimes he fell flat. Brett Kelly was fantastic, however. I loved him in the first one, but I thought he was even better this time around. They had a lot to play with with him being all grown up now, and I thought Kelly did a great job with his performance. But Kathy Bates was the best addition to the film. She was consistently funny and raunchy, and was just fantastic. She had great chemistry on screen with Thornton...
