Last Christmas (2019) Emilia Clarke mopes around for 90 minutes and then there’s a weird “twist ending.” Meh. Paul Feig strikes out yet again.

Paul Feig's like "well I'm terrible these days, but not Ben Falcone-Melissa McCarthy terrible!"

Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus (1991) No Virginia, there is no Santa Claus. Trump killed him. But there was a Charles Bronson and he was awesome, even in sappy TV Movies of the Week.

ONE MAGIC CHRISTMAS (1985) Disney had no chill in the 80’s. Mary Steenburgen plays a character who in a single day loses her cashier job at a grocery store, her husband gets shot by a bank robber and her kids are in car that drives off a bridge. But don’t worry. Harry Dean Stanton and Santa Claus will fix it all. Okay, bro.

He's dead and she received one of his organs in a transplant which is why she can see him. |

Last Christmas is the Paul Feig movie that sucks the least.

I've seen this, The Heat, and Ghostbusters. The Heat and Ghostbusters both sucked. This was at least serviceable to the audience it was pandering toward. |

He's dead and she received one of his organs in a transplant which is why she can see him. Even by awful Christmas movie standards, that's incredibly fucking awful. Maybe I should rate things based on the Christmas movie scale. Like that plot twist would be a Christmas With the Kranks/10. People always talk about the "best" Christmas movies, of which there are few. What about the worst, of which there are plenty. Doing a quick browse of a Rotten Tomatoes list... Christmas With the Kranks Deck the Halls Surviving Christmas Four Christmases The Santa Clause 3 Reindeer Games I'll let Neverending and 1godzillafan take it from here. |

The clearly most hated Christmas movie that I can recall is Saving Christmas starring Kirk Cameron. Haven't seen it.
Worst one I've ever seen, and probably the worst movie I've seen with my own two eyes, is Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny.

Home Alone 3 was awful even when I first saw it and I was 12. You’re supposed to like everything when you’re 12.

I might be alone in this (I think it has its supporters on here), but Bad Santa is really down there for me. Although, I did just endure The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two last weekend. Ugh.
For whatever reason, my Dad really enjoys Four Christmases, but man, what a piece of shit that is. |

I haven't even seen Home Alone 5, but 4 is pretty oof. The most interesting thing about Home Alone 4 is that they return to the story to Kevin and his family, but since it's a TV movie everyone is recast. They got the daughter from Coach to play the mom and Marv is now played by fucking French Stewart. They didn't have the balls to recast Joe Pesci, so they dropped his character and Marv now has a lady sidekick. |

Worst one I've ever seen, and probably the worst movie I've seen with my own two eyes, is Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. How could I have forgotten Saving Christmas. That's the one where Kirk Cameron tries to pass off blatant materialism as a pagan tradition, right? And has the clearly fake coffee in his mug while he speaks. |

That's the one where Kirk Cameron tries to pass off blatant materialism as a pagan tradition, right? And has the clearly fake coffee in his mug while he speaks. I think so. I always heard there was some backwards moral to that movie about how God wants Christmas to be about presents because Jesus was a gift from God or some fucking bullshit. I've been morbidly curious about this movie to see just how off the rails it is but never gotten around to it. If someone wants to jot it down for Film Club, feel free. |

Yup, that's what I've heard it preaches as well. Gotta love Kirk Cameron. "If you want to make God happy, max out your credit card like the three kings did when they got gifts for Jesus!"
