A waste

Like most comedy sequels, Bad Santa 2 tends to forget what made the original work. Overstuffed with tiresome sex gags, extensive profanity, endless foul play and little-to-no desire for moral decency, it doubles down on what made the first film memorable, but never what ultimately made it special. Its bitter little heart shrunk three sizes smaller, leaving more room for depravity and poor manners, but not enough cleverness and heart. It’s bigger. It’s louder. It’s bolder. It’s cruder than ever before. But it isn’t jollier in the process. It looks like this spiked eggnog went soar, because there’s little-to-no yuletide glee to be found this time around. It’s not quite ho-ho-horrible, but nobody deserves to find such a rotten, filthy, stinky piece of coal in their stocking. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/bad-santa-2/
