I just got back from seeing it. Great movie, but do NOT let your kids see it if they believe in Santa at all. I wouldn't let any kid under 13 see it either. It's rated R for a reason.
Anyway, I haven't seen a movie this grungy in a long time. That's a bad thing though! Grungy movies can be awesome if done the right way, and this one most certainly is. Billy Bob Thornton now places in my "Top five most grungiest actors" list. His method of portraying a department store Santa that literally cares about nothing is perfect.
If you love dark comedies than you'll love this movie. It's not a kids' movie. It doesn't change the fact that it's a comedy, though. I don't see how anyone could not like this movie on some level, even if it were just to cause laughter. Even though the grunginess and laughter is a terrible plot that was executed so damn well that it seems perfect. I recommend it highly!
