Bad Santa (2003)

Bad Santa (The Unrated Version and Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]

Bad Santa (The Unrated Version and Director's Cut) [Blu-ray] (Purchased on 12/26/2007) Great Movie. Was glad to see that the Blu version include both film cuts. I gave it 4 stars for the simple matter of grain. Grain drives me nuts. I want to see a crystal clear movie Directors. They really should give a us two versions one with grain and the other grain free. September 1, 2008

Pretty Funny, But Not The Good Version

Bad Santa is a pretty good movie, but in watching Bad Santa and Badder Santa, I found that Bad Santa is not worth your money. BUY BADDER SANTA!! It is much more funny. This movie is not for kids anyway so you might as well buy the funnier version. :) July 23, 2008

Bad Santa? No, Bad VERSION.

This just goes to prove that artists often are not the best judge of their art, as Terry Zwigoff, in his Director's Cut here, completely RUINS one of the finest comedies I've ever seen, a hilarious antidote for those who hate the holdays, a vulgar comedy with an angry spirit and an ultimately uplifting experience, has been transformed here (hard to believe this was the intended version) into a completely miserable film.
Gone is the voice-over in the opening bar scene; gone are many, many funny scenes; instead of being a 'dark comedy', as Badder Santa is (and likewise Bad Santa, both recommended over this swill), this movie here is simply dark. As in pretty darn depressing. The whole mood of the film is different. It's just not funny.
Even the ending is changed, something far less triumphant.

If you have never seen this movie, first off, it is NOT a "holiday film", as many mistake it for, and thus hate it; rather, it is indeed an antidote, for those of us who say, hate It's A Wonderful Life.

Secondly, if you are a BIG fan of Bad Santa, please DON'T be tempted by this; all you need is Badder Santa, that I would give five stars to easily.

It's a shame this version was ever released.

This DVD is a waste of time and money. Skip it. June 24, 2008

An awsome movie thats "Bad"

I liked this movie when I'd seen the original, but to have the director's cut and unrated version on one disc is great. April 13, 2008

Hubby had to Have

I guess if I was my hubby I would have given the movie 5 stars but I just couldn't, probably because it's one we definately have to hide from the kids. But hay it made him happy. March 29, 2008
