Bad Santa

It is terribly funny and some of it makes me cringe, I usually would not choose this, the values are horrible then they end up saving a kid who had never had a chance at all.

Thurman Merman was able to see the good and it made me feel good inside. Also it was packed with good actors who just raised it up. Everyone else I know hates it and thinks it is disgusting and it is but sometimes you have to walk around all that to see and feel the good inside.
