Bad Santa 2 Story
Storyline: Willie is joined by his sidekick Marcus along with the kid Thurman and a new entrant – Willie’s mother – as they try to rob a charity event headed by a corrupt boss in Chicago on Christmas Eve.
Bad Santa ended with Willie walking into the sunset with a loving family. The sequel picks up the timeline with Willie drunk and horny as ever. His attempt to rid the world on himself is thwarted by timely arrival of the naive Thurman who keeps the character alive in spirit. A depressed Willie is not the leader in the new movie. Replacing him and upping the game is his mother (Kathy Bates) who plans the heist in Chicago.
Bad Santa 2 Reviews
Bad Santa 2 is everything that you remember the first movie to be. Perhaps a bit too similar. With similar plot and a lot of same jokes the movie does not offer a lot new. However, if expletives filled, raunchy adult comedy is something you need to snap out of all the goody-goody stuff around you, the movie has the potential to cleanse that feeling. But November may be too soon for that.
