What is Bad Santa about? Toggle content

Meet Willie T. Stokes, the most unlikely Santa Claus you'll ever encounter. A alcoholic, foul-mouthed, and sex-addicted criminal, Willie has made a yearly tradition of robbing department stores on Christmas Eve disguised as jolly old Saint Nick. But this year, things take a surprising turn when he befriends a naive and gullible young boy named Thurman, who believes Willie is the real deal. As Willie's relationship with Thurman grows, he begins to question his criminal ways and must confront the consequences of his actions. With the help of his loyal elf-in-training Marcus, Willie must choose between his life of crime and the true spirit of Christmas. But will it be too late for him to change his ways and find redemption?
