The Depressing Alternate Version of Bad Santa

From Nerdstalgic.

Director’s cuts of fan-favorite movies can be a blessing or a curse. When a Director’s Cut is announced, fans often expect to see a film as the director originally intended—a deeper, more complete version of the story they love. But in the case of Bad Santa, the Director’s Cut turned out to be a tough pill to swallow. Instead of enhancing the cult classic’s dark humor, this version of Bad Santa drained much of the comedic life from the film, leaving fans divided on whether it was an improvement or a misstep.
