Theater VI: Bad Santa 2




It's Been Done Before show

Summary: With Christmas quickly approaching, we thought it would be great to catch up with old Saint Nick. Unfortunately, the real Santa was a bit busy, so we’re spending time with Willie Soke and his gang of losers in Bad Santa 2. This sequel picks up 13 years after the original film and Willie is still a depressing drunken loser living in Phoenix and occasionally spending time with his autistic buddy Thurman. Early on, Marcus gets out of prison and reaches out to Willie to join him in pulling off a $2 million heist at a charity in Chicago. Once in Chicago, Willie learns that his estranged mother Sonny is the third member of their crew and this creates all kinds of friction and comedic moments. Eventually Willie is double crossed by his associates and tries to do the right thing in the end. How is Willie still alive? Why do women seem to find this foul smelling sauced up slob so attractive? When do we get to hear about Sonny’s life as a criminal prior to giving birth to Willie at age 13? Will there be a Bad Santa 3? The movie is nowhere near as good as the original, but it was much better than the three of us expected. Worth a watch if you a locked in a room with only a TV this Christmas.
