Bad Santa recommended

Go to the cinema and see Bad Santa, definitely the best Christmas movie ever, very funny with some touching moments that never degenerate into sentimental excess, the script mantains a perfect balance and is graced by an absolutely excellent performance from Billy Bob Thornton. There's also one of the last screen appearances by the late John Ritter. The always drunk Santa and his elf rob malls and swear a lot, but a fat retarded kid somehow will change things, just an excuse for a load of fun.
The paper issue of Uncut awarded five stars to the movie, saying 'Bad Santa is a towering achievement'. You can read an interview with Lauren Graham (female protagonist) on the magazine site.

Babbo Bastardo on Yahoo.it (the Italian edition).
