Good but could have been great.

Bad Santa is my number one favourite Christmas film and for a long time I was waiting for the sequel to be released. Now that it is, it's unfortunately not that great as I'd have hoped it would have.

Bad Santa 2 just feels like they tried to rehash a lot of stuff the original stuff but not quite as well. The fat kid is still around and tries to be comedic but just ends up being a bum to have around.

I'll admit I loved hear him sing the Christmas song.

Hope that there won't be a third Bad Santa film as it didn't even really need a sequel either.

That's true. Sequels are usually never better (except Terminator 2 > Terminator 1) or as good, although they should try to be on the same level as the originals were.

At least this was much MUCH better than Dumb & Dumber To. Ouch. That was a painful sequel to watch for a film I so dearly love.
