Saving Christmas: A Movie Review


I have been looking for this film for a long LONG time!  Seriously.  It is #4 on the bottom 100 over on IMDB.  The second worst English film on the list.  "Kirk is enjoying the annual Christmas party extravaganza thrown by his sister until he realizes he needs to help out Christian, his brother-in-law, who has a bad case of the bah-humbugs. Kirk's fresh look at Christmas provides Christians the chance to see Christ is where He has always been: at the center of our Christmas celebrations and traditions."  It stars Kirk Cameron, Darren Doane and Bridgette Cameron.  On 12/5 it has a rating of 1.5 over on IMDB.

  • Finally I get to see this masterpiece
  • People do not want to be more kind during the Holidays!  ARE YOU HIGH KIRK?
  • Worst open ever?
  • There is no hot chocolate in that cup!
  • Who is here?  Is that guy a killer, he sure looks like a killer!
  • Actually with the hair and beard he looks a little like me...did I just say I look like a killer?
  • Wait...how many opens does this movie have?
  • That is one of the worst Santas of all time!
  • Why is she putting dishes away WHILE the party is happening
  • Totally want to be the villain of my story
  • Elf worship?  Is that a thing?
  • What the hell did he just say?
  • Wait...is that Adam Savage with dyed hair?
  • Is this an anti commercialism film?
  • This isn't a train wreck...its just bad.  I'm sad thus far
  • That dude is the guy from that magnetic hair toy isn't he
  • Was there just a shot at Fox News?  What the hell is this flick?
  • Pagan idol worshipy thing?  Did I just hear that?
  • Genesis?  The Band?  What?  Its a book of the bible too?  Damn
  • I still have no idea what this movie is about.  The Bible?  Commercialism?  Consumerism?  Just saying Christmas is okay the way we've done it for a long time?
  • Is Santa an elf?
  • Lots of hand acting in this flick
  • Santa killed Jesus?  OH MY GOD!
  • Santa and Satan have the same letters?  OH MY GOD AGAIN!
  • I think that santa wants to swallow my soul!
  • The killer looking dude at the beginning is Santa?  Am I really Santa?
  • So...Santa beat the shit out of someone?  AWESOME!
  • What...the...fuck...was...that
  • The new Jerusalem?  
  • What...the...fuck...was...that...again
  • I am actually embarrassed that I'm watching this right now and for the actors in it
  • OH MY GOD KIRK IS DOING THE WORM!
Well that wasn't the train wreck I wanted, it was just...weird.  I don't know what to say about this film.  It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was just there.  I have no idea what the point of the film was. Was it to entertain?  Get me to be a Christian?  That is what confuses me the most.  What was I suppose to get out of it.  Know what I got out of it?  That Santa curb stomped some guy he disagreed with!  

Seriously though I give it a 3/10 because I have no idea the purpose.  If I knew what it was suppose to do I could give it more.  However on entertainment/acting/movie making I give it a 3.  

The acting was at a very basic level, especially Cameron.  Kirks character was okay and his facial expressions entertained me a little however not enough.  So nothing worth getting excited about here.

Overall I can not recommend this movie.  It isn't The Room/Birdemic bad.  It isn't so bad it is good. It is just blah.  So there you go, I was disappointed that it wasn't THAT bad.  Until next time, Abyssinia!
