It appears that Kirk Cameron’s Spotify campaign to help promote his new movie Saving Christmas, and increase it’s Rotten Tomatoes rating, has paid off. Of course by “paid off” I mean it inspired just enough people to go see it and decide that it deserved the very distinguished honor of becoming IMDB’s Worst Movie Ever.
Not worst movie of 2014, but “Officially the Worst Movie” in the history of IMDB. A film must receive at least 1,500 votes to qualify for the top 100 list. To put this in perspective, while movies such as From Justin to Kelly, Glitter and the Carrot Top classic, Chairman of the Board are all on the top 100 hundred list, none of them are even in the Top 10.
Stop for a moment and think of the worst movie you have ever seen and consider that this movie is considered to be 100 times worse. But good Holiday fun for the whole family, right?

You will be glad that you did
