<snip>
The majority of the film takes place in this car as Kirk lectures to Christian, with occasional cutaways to Biblical imagery. Cameron tries to make the case that Christmas traditions, such as celebratory trees and gifts, all somehow originated with Christianity, not paganism. (Never mind the fact that ancient paganism predates Christianity.) "Last time I checked, God created the winter solstice!" is the type of asinine reasoning you'll hear from Kirk Cameron throughout the film. Cameron's facts are both dubious and sparse, and his connections are spuriousbut Christian is nevertheless invariably blown away by Kirk Cameron's apparently amazing insight.
<snip>
The film ends with a dance sequence that feels like it lasts ten minutes, as well as multiple, gratuitous blooper scenesI suppose for no reason other than to pad the running time. Just when you think it's finally over, we see Kirk Cameron again, and he continues to lecture the audiencethis time about how materialism is just fine, because Jesus came to us in a material body, after all.

(33,584 posts)I have heard that Cameron has gone to facebook and twitter to get his fans to load the rt site with positive reviews.

I guess people are skipping the movie so they can give the DVD as Christmas presents.
