[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.

Wasted potential. Some work with make this film more likable. One should think twice if it deserved a positive review.

The confident incoherent ramblings of a bunch of cultists manage to have an unchristian message parading as evangelical outreach. Greed is God appears to be the underlying message. Its boring and comes across as a skit of evangelicals trying to be cool but lacking a punchline.

An embarrassment, as a Christian. The only lesson anyone should take from this is that there will always be someone trying to cash in on your faith. Disgusting.
