--- --- # Kirk Cameron's _Saving Christmas_ Voted Worst Movie Ever at IMDB by [Victor Luckerson](https://time.com/author/victor-luckerson/) ## Victor Luckerson Dec 6, 2014 7:28 PM UTC by [Victor Luckerson](https://time.com/author/victor-luckerson/) ## Victor Luckerson Dec 6, 2014 7:28 PM UTC Kirk Cameron’s new Christmas movie is earning all the wrong kinds of distinctions. The November release _Saving Christmas_ was voted the worst movie ever by IMDb users, garnering 1.5 out of 5 stars with scores from more than 4,000 users. The movie, which centers on Cameron’s quest to show his brother-in-law the true meaning of Christmas, started drawing people’s ire when Cameron began a social media campaign to improve the film’s Rotten Tomatoes score. That plan seems to have backfired big time. _Saving Christmas_ beat out other famously awful movies like _Gigli_ and _From_ _Justin to Kelly_ on IMDb’s “Bottom 100” list. There’s even another holiday movie in the rankings called _Santa Claus Conquers the Martians_.
