Saving Christmas

Saving Christmas (also known as Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas) is a 2014 American faith-based Christmas comedy film. It was directed by Darren Doane and written by Doane and Cheston Hervey, based on an original story by Kirk Cameron. The movie stars Cameron as a fictionalized version of himself, as he tries to convince his fictional brother-in-law, played by the film's director, that Christmas is still a Christian holiday. It was theatrically released by Samuel Goldwyn Films on November 14, 2014. Saving Christmas was universally panned, earning a rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, becoming the lowest rated film of all time on IMDB within a month of its theatrical release, and being widely considered one of the worst films ever made. The film would win four of its six nominations at the 35th Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture. Cameron would respond negatively to the film's scathing reception, falsely claiming that the unfavorable reviews were part of an atheist smear campaign on Reddit, and plead with users to improve the film's reception on multiple review sites, which ultimately sparked further criticism.
