Bad Santa 2 (2016)

---

Okay, since it is Billy Bob Thornton here, you may expect the unexpectable from the decent Christmas movies. First of all, it is totally racist, sexist, fascist and Brexist (if there is such a word). It disrespects any decency limit lines and it is nasty, noxious, and obnoxious, like the soul of Billy Bob Thornton’s protagonist, who is saying the ‘f’ word every two lines, even to a small kid.
And let’s be realists – it is hilarious in some key moments but we aren’t sure that the devilish charm of Mr. Thornton will save the film. Bad Santa number one brought something around 50 million on top of the expenses, but can it be a decent result? We are still not sure. There are some two weeks to come to the start of this film in the theaters, but something tells us that there’ll be no big ecstasy about it.
Not making it all too bad, the sound producers did a good job – they included every best song in the film (and even there was the Carol of the Bells heard in the trailer, which is, for now, wasn’t included in the list of songs. But the other two were – It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year and One Horse Sleigh, which the second name is Jingle Bells, as you all definitely know it). As for the loud names in the list of the soundtrack, they are several. The biggest are Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. Did you know that Elvis did two Christmas albums? It may become a big discovery to you when you get acquainted with Elvis’ songs closer.
You should definitely rejoice of this collection, as it gives the especial mood with its famous lyrics (it is enough only to recall ((There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays) song) and literally every song gives you warmth of recognition of its lyric (except, maybe, Winter Wonderland by B. Dylan).
The overall result – may look, but don’t expect too much from it.
