Famous character actor Edmund Gwenn's performance am well-received he won a Best Supporting Actor for this. Billy Bob Thornton, "Bad Santa" The title of the film informs us everything we have to learn about Thornton's version of Kris Kringle. He lies, cheats, steals, womanizes, turns up drunk to operate, also would you request for within the most anti-heroic of Santa portrayals?
