Billy Bob, not one of my favorites, but he nailed this part. Of course the kid was me at that age. Bought it for my wife, sat through it, and surprise I enjoyed it, made me laugh.

as in "arthur" the perpetual drinking is a running joke, but the laughs come from a darker place. yes terry zwifoff's film is funny, but it's also got an unrelenting, unapologetic mean streak. billy bob thorton's character willie t stokes, is a miserable buy, a part time department store santa and a full time alcoholic con man. willie is profane and anti social, a chain smoker who drinks so heavily he's oblivious when he urinates all over himself. he's an unscrupulous shell of a man with no chance at redemption not that he wants one. thornton plays him as if he were in a drama, without a trace of caricature which makes him totally believable. great movie to watch during the holidays.
Billy Bob Thornton is entertaining in this. I don't remember the names of the other movies he's in, but I have seen a few, and he's good in those as well
