Bad Santa 2 (2016)

A total misfire. Grown-up Thurman isn’t so much cute as pitiful and older Willie seems to have forgotten most of what he learned in the first film. The bits that work (and really -- I’m not sure any bits actually do, but I’m feeling Christmassy) are lifted from the first film. But there’s just a patina of ugliness over everything meaning that truly enjoying it would probably destroy part of one’s soul.
