Daily Beast Calls ‘Saving Christmas’ Worst Without Seeing It
What critic doesn’t flash a Grinch-like grin savaging movies that made us squirm in the dark? Only Stern includes a film on his naughty list that the critic admits to not actually seeing.
“Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas” earned withering reviews from most critics, so perhaps it deserves to be on a Worst of the Year list or two. The film features the former “Growing Pains” star trying to bring some spirituality back to a holiday known for its secular trimmings.
That apparently was all Stern needed to not only savage the film sight unseen but declare it worthy of a major publication’s “Worst” list.
I must confess, this is the only film on this list Ihaven’t seen—out of principle. But it currently holds the distinction of being the lowest-rated movie in IMDB history, so felt obligated to include this surefire piece of [expletive].
The Daily Beast continues to lose money, Kirk’s movie made money based on its budget. The Daily Beast is a left wing outlet that has no soul, as for Kirk, like him our not he’s trying to bring something better into the culture.
I hate to defend Kirk Crocoduck, but I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the IMDB voters rating the film haven’t seen it either.
