[Cameron's] characterization of Jesus as a "material" gift to us from God - evidence, he claims, that God wants us to shop - should offend anyone who balks at placing the Christ Child on the same scale as a $25 gift card.

Preaching aside... Saving Christmas is a shoddy 80-minute feature that contains approximately 50 minutes of actual moving footage.

It is The Room of Christmas movies. Actually, The Room is more enjoyable. But you get the idea.

Cameron's movie is a PSA dressed up as a comedy marketed as a movie.

By the time the filmmakers and their entire families have brought the film to a close, you just feel sorry for them.

From the ska-punk version of "Silent Night" that plays over the opening credits to the 10-minute end credits sequence filled with bloopers and beatboxing, this is a 79-minute film that feels like it will never end.

Rated: 1/5

"Saving Christmas," featuring Kirk Cameron, was an absolutely dreadful film. In my opinion, it ranks among the worst movies I've ever encountered. His constant narration throughout the film made it nearly impossible to engage with the plot or storyline—truly absurd. The directing was chaotic and poorly executed, but the most significant issue lay with the plot, storyline, and screenplay. They were just so outlandish. No one wants to hear his incessant commentary while trying to follow along, especially considering his strong opinions on various topics in the real world. It’s hard to endure an entire movie of his narration. This film is undoubtedly at the bottom of the barrel, and I can't recommend it to anyone. It's just plain ridiculous.

All these years after and here it is. Awful. Theologically, ethically, morally. I wish Cameroon had stayed an atheist.

Awesome in more ways than one, especially for sincere Christians who are tired of the secularization of all things holy and the attempts to steal, diminish, and degrade our new life and related culture with Christ Jesus!
