Not sure how I feel about this, I don't think there is any way it can live up to the original, which IMO is not just one of the best Christmas movies ever, but a top 10 all time comedy period. Even if ends up being shitty I'll still give it a watch and it won't ruin the original for me.

How could anyone be entertained by this schlock? It's on Netflix and I finished it, but didn't really enjoy it, and didn't find it funny at all.

There are funny movies out there that have high levels of filth. This one isn't one of them.

^^,^ Did you like the first one?

Yeah, you can see my post from a couple years ago a few up, I absolutely fucking love the first one

I read an interview with billy bob where he said they felt pressured to really push the envelope with the crudeness etc to get people's attention.

Think was it: http://www.gq.com/story/billy-bob-thornton-bad-santa-2-profile

I saw the first one and knew what to expect, and I did think the first one was pretty bad as far as being filthy, but the second one was just over the top. You could tell they were trying too hard.

It's like American Horror Story. The first few seasons did a good job at pushing the envelope without being really egregious. Then they jumped the shark and you could tell they were just going for shock value.

I get it, Christmas is sacred to many people, and throw in a foul-mouthed geriatric criminal prostitute and you get instant edgy. Nope.

I think the thing that bothered me the most about this one (besides just not being very funny) was the kid. In the first one he was a little kid, and while it was a little over the top, his cluelessness/stupidity is almost believable because of his age. In this one he's full grown, but even dumber than when he was little. I was pretty inebriated when I watched it, so my memory of it is a little foggy, but that stood out and annoyed me.
