3. Saving Christmas

When is a comedy not a comedy? When it's a dull, laborious slog through Biblical imagery delivered by some guy most people have never heard of.

Kirk Cameron, who was also in the religious-themed Left Behind movies (though not the one starring Nicolas Cage), is the guy in question, and the movie opens with him addressing the viewer directly, ranting that “They don’t want us to love Christmas.” The ‘they’ in question is never specified, so let’s assume it was the Razzie Awards members, who handed this poorly paced, occasionally amateurish megaflop four gongs, including Worst Combo for “Kirk Cameron and his ego.”

Most of the movie takes place inside Kirk’s car, where he talks to his brother (named “Christian”) about how giving gifts originated with Christianity, not Paganism, so we should all attempt to  “put Christ back in Christmas.” Or something.
