    I didn't watch it when it came out as everyone was slating it. But I gave it a gander tonight and it wasn't bad. I don't think it was as bad as I'd been told, although I wouldn't say it's a great film.

    Wasn't a lot of the problems with it, when it first came out, that people were bringing their children to see it? The 18 Certificate, should have given them some indication that it was not for the kiddies.

    Anyway, I always thought this was hilarious. Sick, crass, over the top, and brilliant.

    i'd forgotten just how filthy and funny it was.

    I seem to remember a few years ago when it came out first all these parents were ringing radio stations saying they'd brought Little Johnny to it and he was scarred for life

    I think it was a 15's here, then after all the hoo ha they brough in a 16's category

    first time seeing it last night and i loved it. the scene in the boxing ring was a hoot, and there Marcus is demanding that Gin draws him a diagram of how he's meant to get Santa out of the store was marvellous too.

    this movie could have gone perilously close to schmaltzy, but didn't. I was dead impressed with it. I mean, it's not 'It's a Wonderful Life' but it's a simple movie that does its job well and doesn't take itself seriously!

    Thought it was brutal, simplistic gutter humour, much like Intermission in fact.

    I'll be the first to say I wasn't impressed by Bad Santa.
    It just doesn't do it for me.
