"Badder Santa" (Unrated) as a movie and DVD...good or bad?

Anyone have this release yet? How is the movie? How is the DVD as a whole, with features, audio, visual, the works...
Even those who get it Tuesday, please post all thoughts. Thanks.

I rented this last week and really enjoyed it. I hadn't seen the movie in the theater so I didn't know which scenes were added in. The only features I looked at were the gagreels, which were somewhat funny. But the movie itself was hysterical. An instant holiday (cult?) classic.

Unrated cut is better...the A/V presentation is just fine...some deleted scenes and outtakes...I would have liked more extras...but oh well...

Definitely a cult classic, and it will be watched a couple of times each year in my house, along with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I highly recommend it, and any version that has extra scenes in it for such a great movie deserves a purchase.

I saw this movie in the theater and laughed my ass off. I would highly recommend it if you're into low brow humor.

I've got the unrated DVD, but haven't watched it yet.

I definitely agree. This was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and it was great on DVD too.

I watched the unrated DVD last night and thought the movie was hilarious. The DVD was pretty light on special features, but overall I would highly recommend it. I pre-ordered it from FYE and got a free Bad Santa t-shirt and a $10 rebate.

Damnit!!! I pre-ordered mine from FYE as well, but never got the t-shirt, just the $10 rebate

I'm so confused with those poll options. I watched a rental last night and enjoyed it. No plans on buying it though.
All the mall scenes were done at an abandoned section of a nearby mall, even though the movie takes place in two different cities, so that was fun to see on film. I remember them filming a while back.

I guess I am in the minority. I just watched it tonight and laughed maybe 3 times. The hardest I laughed was when John Ritter
Spoiler:
called the little person "Billy Barty-esq"
. Other than that, the laughter stopped. Personally, the cursing was just over done to where it was stupid.

Mind you, I don't mind cursing... but 3/4 of the time it was pointless in this movie.
