Things We Learned:
- Ska is so low right now that its in the main title sequence for this movie.
- Bill on the couch doesn’t need help.
- Santa Claus aka St. Nick beat people up who didn’t agree with him.
- Presents are representative of the city of Jerusalem.
Final Take: Wow, this is really one for the ages. I’m not sure that we can recommend it, but it is something to behold. The movie boils down to two dudes talking in a car. One of them proposes fairly logical questions, and the other uses completely nonsensical gibberish as a rebuttal. This being Kirk Cameron’s movie, the gibberish wins out. This “movie” is super short and mixes in a few other random scenes to make it over an hour in length, including a never ending final dance sequence. I think we need to do a college symposium to really flush out everything that is wrong or confounding with what’s going on in this film.
