Kirk Cameron’s ‘Saving Christmas’ Voted Worst Movie In IMDb History

Kirk Cameron’s latest religious-themed project has received a dubious honor. It has been voted the worst movie of all time but the users of IMDb. Scoring an impressive 1.4 (of 10) rating, Saving Christmas has beaten the likes of Who’s Your Caddy (2.0), Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (1.9), Disaster Movie (1.9), The Hottie and the Nottie (1.9) and Birdemic: Shock and Terror (1.8).
Cameron had been working hard to save the movie, hoping to get it a wide release (or any release) ever since the reviews started pouring in at Rotten Tomatoes which were so negative that it looked like the film was going to be shelved.
The synopsis (as provided by IMDb) for Saving Christmas is as follows, “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 Christian the chance to see Christ is where He has always been: at the center of our Christmas celebrations and traditions.”

The film’s IMDb message board is filled with atheists and Christians discussing the film, and agreeing that it is terrible. The front review from “riskymule” said, “I was a devout Christian until I watched this movie. I can no longer believe in God because I can’t believe that he would allow someone to make this garbage in his name… I am now exploring Satanism. Thank you Kirk Cameron.

I don’t even know where to begin. This is the most intellectually draining movie I have ever seen, it was even worse than God Is Not Dead. The acting was poor. The premise was bland. Every other word out of Kirk Cameron’s mouth is a lie. Please do not go and see this movie. I don’t want it to ruin your life like it has mine. And for the love of God don’t let your children see this awful movie.”

Some reviewers have referred to Saving Christmas as “The Room of Christmas movies.” Most have complained about the saccharine, corny humor and the ridiculous logic at work in the script, which was co-written by Darren Doane and Cheston Hervey; Doane also directed.
