Bad Santa 2
Director: Mark Waters
Actors: Billy Bob Thornton, Kathy Bates, Tony Cox
PlotStruggling with his own personal demons and fueled by cheap whiskey, Willie Soke, a foul-mouthed and bitter ex-con, reunites with his sidekick Marcus, who has a new scheme up his sleeve. With Christmas on the horizon, Marcus proposes that they capitalize on the holiday cheer to pull off a Chicago charity heist that promises a bigger payday than their past endeavors. Lured by the potential score, the two partners in crime set their plan in motion, fully embracing their irreverent personas of Santa and his little helper to infiltrate the charity event.
Complicating their already precarious venture, Willie is unexpectedly confronted by his estranged, tough-as-nails mother Sunny, who is also a criminal. Her arrival brings with it old tensions and new dynamics that threaten to unravel not just their heist but also their already dysfunctional relationship. As they navigate this complex and tenuous family reunion, Willie and Marcus must figure out how to work alongside one another, despite the escalating chaos and clashing agendas. Meanwhile, the arrival of security obstacles and unexpected moral dilemmas put their long-awaited score in jeopardy, forcing them to improvise in their uniquely crass ways.
