Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas' review: Maybe there should be a war on trite Christmas movies
lthough the film's title and posters of its star heroically brandishing a giant candy cane might suggest a holiday romp summoning the ghost of "Growing Pains" past, "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" has other random ideas.

An unholy mess co-produced by Cameron's faith-based Camfam Studios, the movie begins with a fireside chat in which the genial star shares his love of everything Christmas while addressing the naysayers who insist Dec. 25 has lost its meaning.

One of the disillusioned is Kirk's dour brother-in-law, Christian (played by the director, Darren Doane), so Cameron spends most of the film in his car, schooling him in the "real" biblical connection to Christmas trees, Santa and more, aided by some dramatic re-creations.

Sermon concluded, Cameron steps down from his front-seat pulpit and the two rejoin the family Christmas bash, just in time to join in a hip-hop performance of "Angels Have We Heard on High."


Virtually everything about this production feels thrown together. Even with that extended musical interlude (performed by the God Squad Dance Crew) and an end-credits blooper reel, the package barely cracks the 80-minute mark.
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

The biggest fear I have in cases like this, is the thought of Christians producing an actual GOOD theistic based movie, one that makes the general populous support it and take their side in there delusion.

Fortunately, most people see these kind of movies as what they are, desperate pushes by desperate theists who can't get people on their side with fear and control, so have to resort to showing the world how they can't act, write or produce anything other then bad memories of wasted digital celluloid.

Is Kirk Cameron like the Pope of Fundies? Ugh. Someone ''defrock'' him, already.

I love one of the first reviews on imdb:

Quote1/10
"One gets the impression that Kirk Cameron actually started reading his own Bible, was disturbed by what he found (such as Jesus' instruction to "go sell your possessions and give to the poor"), and produced this film as a desperate justification for his own hypocrisy.

At my theater, nobody laughed, and nobody stayed for the end credits. This purported comedy film fails at every level. If you're really looking for a laugh, go back and take a look at what Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort have to say about the glorious design of the banana."

No, he's just a halfwit former TV actor who can't get a role in a real movie or TV show out to make a buck off xtianity.

So true! Kirk Cameron tells women their place is in the kitchen this holiday season as he urges them to cook, clean, decorate and sing to have the best Christmas ever

    Kirk Cameron recorded a message explaining how women could have the most possible joy this holiday season
    Cameron recommends they  cook for the family, decorate the house and sing, among other things
    He also recorded a video for men, saying they should go 'all in' over the holidays, while also doing the dishes and giving foot rubs
    He also urged both men and women to see his new film, Kirk Cameron's Surviving Christmas, which is in theaters now
    Reviews of the film call it an 'unholy mess' and 'one of the least artful holiday films ever made'

QuoteThis may be one of the least artful holiday films ever made. Even devout born-again Christians will find this hard to stomach.
QuoteHow do you prove a horse is an animal? Because I like Sweden. That's the style of absurd logic that happens in "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" ...

Always Woodstock (13%) beat Kirk's movie.

"But when Catherine is unceremoniously fired, and then comes home to find her long time fiance (Jason Ritter) in the arms of another woman, she decides that it's time for a change. Selling off her engagement ring, Catherine moves back  to her family home in Woodstock, to get back to what she has always wanted to do: write music.  One night at a local bar, Catherine stumbles into handsome town doctor Noah (James Wolk), and cannot deny the moment of magic between them."

Yes! It's about time someone did a movie about a woman scorned who then write's music and finds a better guy to fix her life.
