But poorly reviewed recent Christian movies have made bank. His movies are just bad. And the hip-hop routine? Words can't describe the cringeworthiness of that.… Expand

If nothing else, this film will make you think: "Oh my gosh, Kirk Cameron is still alive." A sad realization in and of itself, sadder yet is that he's still managing to be on the brink of relevancy. The only reason I know about this movie isIf nothing else, this film will make you think: "Oh my gosh, Kirk Cameron is still alive." A sad realization in and of itself, sadder yet is that he's still managing to be on the brink of relevancy. The only reason I know about this movie is because my grandmother posted about it on her FaceBook page. I watched 15 minutes of it and I think I saw enough to make as good a critique as anyone could.
The thing about Kirk Cameron is that that he has neither the directing, writing, or acting skills to make decent snuff film so I don't think anyone was expecting anything more than a good laugh if it failed badly enough. Unfortunately for those of us hoping to find chuckle or too: there is no laughter to be had here. I mean AT ALL. I've seen funnier Werner Herzog films. The humor in this movie is physically and psychologically tolling. The plot makes me think he didn't even try. And, If I didn't know better, I would think he had never actually heard of Christmas and had kind of Wikapedia'd it five minutes before writing the script.The incompetency on display throughout this movie would be astonishing if anyone else had made this film, and the pandering to the narrow-minded right is about as obvious as Kirk Cameron is relevant.… Expand

What was this?! This was just...like...ugh! It is the worst possible Christmas movie to date and I'm not even joking, taking LSD while watching Disaster Movie would be better than this, and Disaster Movie led up to its expectations.

…Okay. It will probably be a loss but less of a loss because of my patronage.
Its poor: plot, acting effects.

Erm… …It could be a nice story if the myths and untruths on which it is supposedly made where embellished for children.

It fails in almost every department and even the children complained to me. I fear it may have permanently traumatized their Christmas experience.
***Parents alert**** There is a fair bit of lying and blatant rubbish Children may pick up on.
I cannot even find the strength to comment on this movie. Read one above that is lower than a 3 and you should be there. I read a few and they were on the button (Apart from the fake ones like “ I was a Muslim and this movie converted me to Christianity”. Pfft.

To all these reviewers claiming instructions for ATHIESTS etc. Look! people there is no war between religion and Athiesm, Athiesm is just an short explanation that you prefer to believe in things that can be proved or experienced objectively. Therefore It’s a march of reason, progress and intelligence. Just get on board, and we can move forward as a species together. … and make better movies.

A turbulent and fitting end to the year that was 2014.… Expand

Normally I'd bash the terrible comedy, bad camerawork and lame script (trust me, I still hate them.), but it's the message in this movie that makes me want to attack Mr Cameron with a sharpened candy cane. The fact that there's apparently a 'wrong way' to look at Christmas is just narrow-minded and borderline offensive. What if we don't want to treat Christmas like the greatest day ever? What if we don't want to ignore the bad parts? I always saw Christmas as a season of mixed feelings personally. A confusing time where we don't always know how to feel. The Charlie Brown Christmas Special absolutely nailed this message and that was made in 1965. A good 49 YEARS EARLIER! Y'know an article on Kirk Cameron's website said that Atheism is founded on fear and prejudice. After watching this, I believe I've found a greater source of fear and prejudice. Fear that rational minded people are finding entirely logical flaws in your holiday and using prejudice to force them to change their ways. Please Please PLEASE do not watch this movie!… Expand

'Twas the night before Christmas,
Almost time for St. Nick.
Along came Kirk Cameron,
A really stupid prick.

He made a Christmas movie,
Although one like none before it.
Gloating about how rich he is,
And the film was complete sh*t!

Christian right-wing propaganda at its finest. A tasteless film that does more to hurt Christmas than save it. Kirk Cameron is a ignorant prick whose a disgrace to all "Christians" he claims to represent.

Estética pós-moderna descolada e plena de referências, Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas fundamenta-se na teoria semiológica para resgatar os significados dos signos natalinos das classes médias norte-americanas. O ritmo do filme é ditado em uma dialética envolvente entre Kirk e seu cunhado Christian, em que Kirk, um personagem simpático e empático, parte da pergunta positiva sobre os símbolos natalinos e seus significados, deixando o espírito negativo a cargo de Christian. Juntos, chegam a síntese dialética ao reformular os significados de significantes até então tão desacreditados na cultura ianque: o globo de neve, a árvore de natal e o papai noel. Kirk salva não só o natal da família de classe média norte-americana, mas todo o modo de vida americano, que na aparente efusão caótica de significantes vazios e consumismo desenfreado, tem, na verdade, como base o cristianismo historicamente simbolista e materialista. Reforçando a dimensão pós-moderna do filme, prescinde da ânsia pela totalidade, mostrando que o "Christmas" é apenas um dentre os natais possíveis. Talvez o mais suntuoso, talvez o mais fetichista, talvez o que se espalhe por outras culturas como modelo, mas sem dúvidas, após ver este filme podemos afirmar que está acima de qualquer crítica. Basta significar da maneira que você quiser.

(Representa bem a sociedade globalizada atual que se conforma basicamente pela americana, a grande difusora cultural de nossos tempos. Um conjunto de "modos de vida" e objetos à venda, a serem incorporados e consumidos por quem quiser em qualquer canto do mundo. Como alcançar tal proeza? O segredo está na maleabilidade dos significados contidos em significantes rígidos, impassíveis. Qualquer cultura pode absorver o "modo de vida americano" mas só os Estados Unidos podem prover tal qualidade. Isso serve inclusive para os americanos. "Make america great again" nada mais é que uma ordem reacionária. Está infeliz com seu país? Continue fazendo tudo como você sempre fez, bote a culpa em alhures, deixe-se enganar pelas novas roupagens dos fantasmas passados. Está infeliz com o falta de significado do natal? Continue celebrando da maneira que você sempre fez, bote a culpa em certa miopia simbólica, iluda-se com as novas desculpas que arranjou pra continuar fazendo o mesmo. Dessa forma, você pode continuar sendo consumista, intolerante religioso e estar preso a formalidades, festas e problemas irrelevantes, como os significados do natal, sem peso na consciência).… Expand

Kirk's message about the true meaning of Christmas just made me realize the narcissism of my own heart and what a mindless consumer I was like everyone else--especially during the holiday season. Even as a churchgoer for many years as a kid (because of my parents) I never truly felt the presence of God in any special way. But the way Kirk described the Christmas story...he just paints such a vivid picture of the life of Jesus, and how we're all broken people, how we all need forgiveness. I can see all the negative reviews this film is getting--but I don't care. It brought me to my knees and I can safely say I will never look at Christmas--or life, for that matter--the same way. Thank you, Kirk Cameron, for helping me get on the straight and narrow and coming to terms with the sin in my own life that I never fully comprehended.… Expand

It deserves 10 stars to the Kirk telling the Historical accounts on the:

(1) Book of Genesis and the Origins of trees, and winter solstice (astronomy of the planets aligning with this particular solar system), and their actual meanings;
(2) Book of Exodus - specifically about the Tabernacle and what inside of the Structure, and their references;
(3) Saint Nick (known as Santa Clause) and that he was part of the Council of Nicea, that he was also born-again, and help others with gifts.
(4) Books of the Gospels (which are technically Old Testament) - Tree is the main central theme, in that Christ is God Incarnate (Fully Man and Fully God); He (Christ/Messiah) was born in swaddling (burial) clothes, that He was meant to die. He couldn't sin at all, and He was tested at all points, and still did not sin at all; He (Christ/Messiah) was beaten, Crucified on a Roman built Cross, died, covered in swaddling clothes, then buried for 3 days and 3 nights, and rose again (Resurrected).
Why did He (Jesus Christ/Yeshua Messiah) do this? He did it for you, for every man, woman, and child is born a sinner because of Adam in the book of Genesis sinned, and we inherited this sin nature. This is what the movie is really about! It's about the Gospel, that Christ died for sinners! People who say 'Christmas is pagan', need to watch this movie, and then go back to the Origins, from the book of Genesis, whether's it's in your Torah or Tanak, New Testament, Gospels, History, Apostolic Writings, and/or Bible.
This movie is really a commentary of Biblical History, and that you can still receive Salvation for your sins, and that you can be a child of God through Christ's Blood Sacrifice (The Perfect Lamb of God, Old Covenant typology).
The media in news and movie reviewers view "evil is good", and "good is evil", and view this as the "worst movie ever" (in reference to Saving Christmas).. Really, it's the worst movie ever? Are you sure?
What about James Cameron's Titanic, which really wasn't about the Titanic? I mean, you see the Titanic here and their, but it's about adultery, if you understand the term and it's origins: engagement, and it really means = to be married.
What about Michael Bay's Transformers (2007)? You get the Transformers with very few lines to them (robot characters), and the lines are given to an actor and an actress, who are unknown until this movie came out. I felt like I was watching a cross-between Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Clueless (which I can't recommend either movie). I would hear from people in my area, that it was "a good movie!" and "Megan Fox is hot!", and in translation: "Good special effects, hot girl, and no substance to the story at all." Is their such a called movie plagiarism? It would apply to this particular movie!
What did these two do, along with other movies who fall hard in Hermeneutical and Exegetical (Science and Art of Interpretation, letting the writer(s) speak for themselves, and having good application to what's being written/said) standards?
In the fiction historical background, and non-fiction (literal history) accounts who fail to follow manuscripts that is it's history, and it fact, people get praised to doing something that receives an F-, and get ridiculed for A+ when it comes to movies, documentaries, and commentaries. It's really: "Let's apply A+ to Ivy Leagues with their buy-out program" and "Let's apply F- to who understand True Interpretation of things."
In today's society and since the 1920s-1930s, the view is: "reject it: if it convicts us, you need to a full 180 in your so-called life style (it's really a death-style), corrects these forms of so-called theologians views (nazists, fascist, communists, socialists = aka liberal and moderates), has True Supernatural substance to it, and it's True Historical accounts, it doesn't do my homework (research) for me" which Saving Christmas actually does.
Yep, you get to your homework (research) on this Bible Commentary, Bible History, and actually documentational History (do Origin Source Research)..
While the majority of society (not just in North America) embrace superficiality (i.e. Transformers, Titanic), and reject Hermeneutical and Exegetical standards, and perform Exegesis (let's take a mass amount of liberties, and give a folklore, myths, add deceptions here and their), and it does my homework (research) for me. It's: "Oh, I don't have to my homework for me! Hooray! I can be lazy!"
Come on! Push yourself! Overwhelm your selfishness! Do the homework! Stop being lazy!
This is a great example, to show, that Kirk Cameron wants to speak the majority who are in the two world-views:
(a) Laodicean society (In the Bible, in the New Testament, read the book of Revelation, Chapter 3).
(b) Corinthian society (In the Bible, in the New Testament, read the book of 1st and 2nd Corinthians).… Expand
