Quicktime
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C-
"Most of the humor comes from trying to be as raunchy as possible. True, the 1976 picture wasn't exactly angelic, but the stuff here is cruder, cheaper, more obvious."
Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"...a shoddy and superfluous copy."
Middletown Journal: B+
"The movie's home run is the casting of Thornton, who at least matches Walter Matthau's portrayal by giving Buttermaker the same world-weary crustiness that made him so funny in Bad Santa."
The Palm Beach Post: C+
"It would really help your enjoyment of this movie if you never saw the earlier one."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"Weird. Rude. Cute. Just like your kid."
