Saving Christmas (2014)

hyped garbage

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A relative of mine insisted that I watch this movie with them a year or two ago, so I did.Given the choice between re-watching this movie, or dousing my posterior in the spiciest hot sauce imaginable, I'd probably re-watch the movie. Probably. I'd have to think about it for a few minutes. Does the pain of chili peppers coming in contact with my sphincter outweigh the pain of sitting through the entire duration of Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas? That's a question I hope no one ever has to answer.

This film is completely off-the-wall crazy. It is one of those rare films that has the power to descend to the depths of insanity, dragging its helpless audience along with it, until WHAM! The phrase "Aspergers in your burgers" is uttered by a man holding a cup of coffee in front of his mouth. The madness is universally expressed by all characters present, leading to an unsettling conclusion: this is not about Jesus at all, but a tale of a party in which the hot chocolate somehow becomes contaminated with marijuana. Suddenly the strange giggling in the car, the hallucinogenic Santa segment and the random conspiracy theory scene with two minor characters makes sense when viewed this way. It makes more sense than the idea someone thought this movie was a good idea, anyway!

Quite possibly the worst Christmas film, if not the worst film period I have ever seen."Saving Christmas" was made on an ultra low budget of $500,000, and it shows, looking more like someone's attempt at a home movie..., everyone involved with this project didn't seem to know what they were doing, the director Darren Doane shouldn't give up his day job, the mise en scene was terrible as was the mise en shot, the camera work was clunky and disjointed and quite frankly all over the place..., the scenery looked like it had been constructed for a school production and was below amateurish, and the whole art department shouldn't be allowed to work in the film industry again. Even the plot and the story (if you can call it a story) was like something a five year old had wrote as part of a school assignment, "Kirk is enjoying the annual Christmas party extravaganza thrown by his sister until he realises he needs to help out Christian, his brother-in- law, who has a bad case of the bah-humbugs"Really? The bah-humbugs? And that's another thing, the main character is called Kirk, yet the actor who plays him is called Kirk Cameron, how original and inspiring is that? Couldn't even be bothered to come up with a different name."Saving Christmas" is one of the lowest rated films on IMDb and it completely deserves it, if there was an option to rate the film a zero I would've done, truly awful and the only reason you should watch it is to see for yourself how bad it is..., people moan about films being bad, but this film isn't just bad it's insulting.

Never before have I seen a movie this boring in my life. There's nothing interesting going on. All this film is is just Kirk being preachy about what Christmas is all about, uninteresting dialogue, and philosophies that drag on for too long.The acting is garbage. Everyone is either annoying, bland, or even unintentionally hilarious.There is not much effort into the production value as most of the movie takes place in either the car or the house.The writing is also awful. Apparently, Christain is a jerk and he is ruining Christmas for everyone even though he never publicly said to anyone (aside from Kirk) that he hated Christmas. He just simply hid away from the party.Overall this film stands as one of the worst I have ever seen. I can only recommend this film to true masochists. Everyone else, stay away from this movie.
