Summary
Bad Santa 2 sees Billy Bob Thornton back as the holiday-themed anti-hero, Willie Soke. Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie teams up again with his angry little sidekick Marcus (Tony Cox) to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. What's left of Willie's humanity shines through with the help of 'the kid' - chubby and cheery Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly) - while he also is forced to contend with mommy issues when the pair are joined by Sunny Soke (Kathy Bates). Sunny, described as a "horror story of a mother" is somehow an even worse criminal than Willie who finds himself getting lost in lust for Diane (Christina Hendricks, ) the goodhearted charity director.
