Soke, a cynical, hard-drinking con artist who poses as a mall Santa during the holiday season. Alongside his partner in crime, Marcus (played by Tony Cox), who takes on the role of his elf, Willie uses his Santa disguise to rob shopping malls on Christmas Eve. However, Willie’s plan is jeopardized when he encounters Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly), a naive and lonely young boy who believes that Willie is the real Santa Claus. As Thurman grows attached to him, Willie reluctantly begins to soften, though his self-destructive tendencies and disdain for the world make it difficult to change his ways. The film also features standout performances from Lauren Graham, Bernie Mac, and John Ritter (in one of his final roles). With its unapologetically crude humor and anti-holiday spirit, *Bad Santa* subverts traditional Christmas movie tropes, delivering a film that’s as outrageous as it is unexpectedly touching. Thornton’s performance is the film’s core, bringing a blend of bitter humor and surprising vulnerability to the character of Willie. The film received positive reviews from critics who appreciated its dark humor and sharp satire, and it found a dedicated audience that enjoyed its irreverent take on the holiday season. *Bad Santa* performed well at the box office, grossing over $76 million worldwide against a budget of approximately $23 million. Filmed primarily in locations around California, including Los Angeles and Arcadia, *Bad Santa* remains a unique addition to holiday cinema for those seeking a break from the usual festive fare. **Technical Details:** - **Director:** Terry Zwigoff - **Main Cast:** Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, Brett Kelly, Lauren Graham, Bernie Mac, John Ritter - **Budget:** Approximately $23 million - **Box Office Gross:** Over $76 million worldwide - **Filming Locations:** Primarily Los Angeles, California, and nearby locations including Arcadia
