Kirk Cameron Saving Christmas reviews are bad but fans love the new religious movie. On Friday, Cameron premiered his new film titled Saving Christmas, which is almost a documentary explaining why Jesus Christ should be prominent during the holiday season.
Kirk Cameron‘s Saving Christmas‘ reviews are in, and most critics say the movie has failed to deliver. In Saving Christmas, Cameron sits in a beautiful living room, next to the perfect Christmas tree, sipping hot chocolate.
Cameron immediately goes into a very interesting and lengthy monologue about the war on Christmas. The Touched by an Angel actor looks at the camera and says:
“They don’t want us to love Christmas so much and celebrate it the way we do.”
Cameron goes on and on about the fact that Jesus Christ needs to be put back in Christmas “because he is the reason for the season.”
During his sermon-like talk, Cameron reveals that the Christmas tree, Santa Claus and gifts are elements rooted in religion and; therefore, Christians should not lose touch with the holiday’s roots and true meaning.
But most of the film actually takes place inside of a parked car, where Cameron joins his imaginary brother-in-law, Christian White, who is another version of Kirk Cameron, played by director and co-writer Darren Doane.
Christian leaves his wife’s holiday party because he is angered by what Christmas has become.
The two men sit in an SUV for most of the film where Kirk Cameron schools White. Cameron says:
“Guess what?. It’s all about Jesus.”
He goes on to support his theory with fun facts like God made trees for us to the decorate, he made snow and he was born on December 25th (experts say otherwise). Cameron also stated that Santa Claus was named after the fourth-century bishop St. Nicholas.
Many critics say the film would have been decent if it was 5 minutes long instead of 80 .
Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas movie is also being blasted for the low-quality production:
“Any meager narrative potential, though, gets lost in home-video-quality production and weirdo-on-the-subway-quality lecturing. Strangely, the movie does briefly parody war on Christmas paranoia by having a minor character rant about it alongside mentions of chemtrails, GMOs, Area 51, and the 9/11 truther documentary Loose Change. It’s either a quick flash of self-awareness or the kind of nonsense joke often attempted by people with a tin ear for humor.”
But then; again, this movie is for Christians who are already fan of Kirk Cameron’s work, and many of them who have seen it, were thrilled.
