Great movie.  Never gets old.  If I see it on, I can watch it from any point in the movie.  Although watching it on TV kind of sucks if they are cutting anything out.

What happened to Coreys month? 

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,104]

It was pretty good. Solid 7/10.

6/10 it’s funny but I don’t go out of my to watch it

I'm in the same boat.  I catch it every few years or so.  Certainly not a staple.

I really have no interest in seeing this.  It's not really my type of film from every image or trailer I'd seen about it.

I am curious, what is the 2-3 sentence summary of the plot?

It's a raunchy-comedy heist movie involving a mall santa and a dwarf that dresses up as one of the elves. And it has a character named Herman Merman.

Sorry, you're right -- Thurman, not Herman -- an even worse name if such was possible.

[Andy_Bogomil | 815]

a few funny parts but overly cheap, crude humor for the most part.

[The Count | 526]

One of my favorite Christmas movies. Thornton is exceptional as per usual. 9.5.

[glazball | 168]

9.5 for me as well.  Truly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

RIP Bernie Mac and John Ritter

Seeing this in writing, and thinking about hearing that he had died on the morning radio show while I was driving to a shitty on-campus job before classes, really drives home how long ago this movie came out

Both of their performances in this movie were outstanding.  

Bernie Mac demanding half and John Ritter describing a Little Person get me every time.

i fucking love this movie. without a doubt my favorite xmas film.

the "how can they drop me onto my own head?" scene gets quoted once a month, easy, in my house.

Went to go watch this movie when it came out, I fell asleep watching it, movie is that bad, not only that my uncle and my brother also fell asleep watching it 

[Astor Reinhardt | 199]

It's ok, but I'd only really watch it if I just happened across it on TV.

On a related note, I've sometimes seen Secret Santa kinds of things called "Dirty Santa"...geez it sound like something you'd find at Christmas time behind the curtain at Cinemassacre's video rental...you know where they keep the *wink wink* movies for mom and dad?
