Bad Santa 2, the sequel to the 2003 hit Bad Santa, is a dark comedy directed by Mark Waters (Vampire Academy, Mean Girls). BIlly Bob Thornton returns to reprise one of his most recognizable roles and is supported by Kathy Bates, Tony Cox, Christina Hendricks, and Brett Kelly.

BAD SANTA 2 returns Academy Award-winner BILLY BOB THORNTON to the screen as everyone’s favorite anti-hero, Willie Soke. Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie teams up once again with his angry little sidekick, Marcus (Cox), to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Mommy issues arise when the pair are joined by Willie’s horror story of a mother, Sunny Soke (Bates). A super butch super bitch, Sunny raises the bar for the gang’s ambitions, while somehow lowering the standards of criminal behavior.

“The first movie has become iconic,” says Billy Bob Thornton, who received a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of Willie Soke. “You have a feeling when you’re doing it that there are certain moments that are classic— when you have something like that, you have a tall order when you’re going to do a sequel because it has infiltrated the culture in some way.”

Bad Santa 2 is rated 18A.
