Kirk is enjoying the annual Christmas party extravaganza thrown by his sister until he realizes he needs to help out Christian, his brother-in-law who has a bad case of the bah-humbugs.

The narrative flow of the movie works like this: Christian says something he believes in and Kirk gently chides him and then explains what an idiot he is. For example, Christmas trees are not Biblical in original, right? Wrong. God made trees. And we should see a cross every time we see a Christmas tree. You can see the logic. But it's a leap. If you can make these leaps, then you can watch this film and get something from it. You just have to let Kirk take you on a ride.It's only when we read too much into things - if that's Kirk's real sister, why isn't the brother-in-law played by the real brother? Where's Candace Cameron, his somewhat of a bigger star sister, and her husband, hockey player Valeri Bure? Why was there no hot chocolate in Kirk's mug in the overly earnest open? Does anyone who made this movie not realize that the DeAndre character is racist in its depiction of black people? Is anyone mad that they co-opted dubstep? Why wasn't POD in this movie?That said, I'm not going to make fun of Kirk for being a child star or his earnestly vacant stare. Obviously, this was not a movie made for me. I also don't think it was made for Christians. I think it was made for Kirk, his family and close multiethnic friends. Things just got out of hand and it ended up being released in theaters and they had to go along with it.

I remember seeing this a little ways back and it was pretty much either boring or bad at all times. In summary its Kirk teaching Gordon Freeman to appreciate Christmas again. Sounds innocent enough, however honestly most of his reasons for not liking Christmas are kind of justified and Kirk's arguments for why he should just unconditionally love Christmas are pretty bad. On top of that Kirk is portrayed as an absolute good guy who cannot do wrong. I remember it feeling preachy and generally like the movie is trying to make me believe in its ideas. I don't use the word propaganda very often but it felt a little like it. Just don't see this one, its not worth the time. Its not even really the kind of bad you can sit down with friends and laugh at.

There used to be a cinema that featured really bad movies. It cost nothing to get in, but the viewer had to pay if they wanted to leave before the film ended. If that place still exists, they should add this one to their list.There are brilliantly bad movies that deserve a "1" rating. This is one of them.

Never before have I seen a movie this boring in my life. There's nothing interesting going on. All this film is is just Kirk being preachy about what Christmas is all about, uninteresting dialogue, and philosophies that drag on for too long.The acting is garbage. Everyone is either annoying, bland, or even unintentionally hilarious.There is not much effort into the production value as most of the movie takes place in either the car or the house.The writing is also awful. Apparently, Christain is a jerk and he is ruining Christmas for everyone even though he never publicly said to anyone (aside from Kirk) that he hated Christmas. He just simply hid away from the party.Overall this film stands as one of the worst I have ever seen. I can only recommend this film to true masochists. Everyone else, stay away from this movie.
