| Billy Bob Thornton and Christina Hendricks in Bad Santa 2. |
That film, produced and allegedly re-written by Joel and
Ethan Coen, possessed a level of intelligence and brutally mocked what has
become of the holiday season. It,
however, also possessed heart.
The Coen Brothers didn’t have much to do with BAD SANTA 2.
It’s of little surprise, then, that while the film possesses all the
skepticism, cynicism, racism and every
other negative ism that can be named, it has absolutely none of the charm or
heart.
