    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Shortly after the film's release in November 2014, Kirk Cameron responded to the film's almost universally negative reviews by pleading with his fans on his Facebook page. His post read: "Help me storm the gates of Rotten Tomatoes. All of you who love 'Saving Christmas'--go rate it at Rotten Tomatoes right now and send the message to all the critics that WE decide what movies we want our families to see. If 2,000 of you (out of almost 2 million on this page) take a minute to rate 'Saving Christmas', it will give the film a huge boost and more will see it as a result! Thank you for all your help and support in putting the joy of Christ back in Christmas!". The following day, Cameron took to Facebook again to claim that the film's rating had rose to 94% thanks to his plea to fans and supporters. However, the call to manipulate votes angered some film fans who took to Rotten Tomatoes to leave negative reviews (Saving Christmas's current rating is 0%). Cameron later blamed the negative reaction on "haters, pagans and atheists" and also claimed there was "an atheist conspiracy" to ruin the film that was allegedly hatched on Reddit.

      Less than a minute into the end credits, there's about 3 minutes of bloopers. After all the credits have rolled, about 2 more minutes of bloopers follow.

    St Nicholas gonna open up a can o' whup ass!
    After seeing all the negative reviews of this film, I had to check it out. I heard about Kirk Cameron's up voting campaign on Rotten Tomatoes and the ensuing backlash from atheists and so on. But I wanted to see if the film was really that bad. It is. It's really awful, probably the most awkward, uncomfortable hour of my life. Troll 2 was funny on a So-bad-it's-good level, so was The Room. But this is just painfully bad. This film aggravates me on so many levels. But I want to leave out the B.S religious side of it, there's more than enough reviews, even from Christians, attacking this film for it's head scratching Evangelical nonsense. Instead, I'd like to focus on an aspect of the film that I feel has been overlooked, the historical "facts" that Cameron pulls out of his arse. I'm a history buff, and this film made me so angry. Cameron expects us to believe that St. Nicholas got so angry with Arius that he dragged him out into the snow and beat the crap out of him with a staff! He did no such thing. As one of the bishops who signed the Nicene Creed, St. Nicholas got into an argument concerning the divinity of Christ and punched the Christian presbyter in the face.

    Then there's the barking mad argument about the pagan roots of Christianity which Cameron dismisses, claiming that everything was created by God and therefore everything to do with Christmas can be traced back to God, even the Nutcracker! And on it goes... The arguments make no sense, the acting is horribly stilted and the 'comedy' is painfully bad. It's such an incoherent, rambling mess from "Crocoduck" Cameron that by the time he's dancing and doing the worm, you just have no idea what you're watching any more. Worst movie ever made in the history of motion pictures.
