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].
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.
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.
