When is a comedy not a comedy? When its a thinly-veiled lecture about why we should all love Christmas, 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 dont want us to love Christmas. The they in question is never specified, so lets 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 Kirks car, where he talks to his brother (named Christian) about how giving gifts originated with Christianity, not Paganism, so we should put Christ back in Christmas. Or something.
