“Bad Santa 2” (*1/2 out of four) was a dismal sequel that was a Christmas present the equivalent of a lump of coal. This time around, the drunken Santa Claus (Billy Bob Thornton) teams up with his midget sidekick (Tony Cox) and his foul-mouthed mom (Kathy Bates) to rip off a charity business in Chicago. Scattershot chuckles are defeated by ugly, stupid, and repellent characters who are enough to make anyone say humbug. I wasn’t a huge fan of the 2003 original but this is one more bad sequel where more is less. A major disappointment from director Mark Waters who in better days directed “Mean Girls”.
