"If you don't get me a girl, I won't play Heaven with you anymore." That is one of the most disturbing things I've ever heard. That could mean SO MANY different things, and NOT ONE of them doesn't involve jail time.
I'd imagine a normal kidnapper would at least do some very basic research on his target before he goes to the trouble of drugging said target's brownie before said kidnapping.
This could be a really intense movie if it was a character study with a very serious tone. A young man with a disabled sister must try and maintain the farm, care for his sister, participate in his church and his volunteer work at the orphanage and all this strain wears him so thin that he snaps. He kidnaps kids from the orphanage, tells them a crazy story to keep them there on the farm with his sister and to help out with the chores all while he spirals into madness. Martin Scorsese would direct.
Said the definitely not child molester, who is a religious zealot who lures children to his home and controls them by threatening that they won't go to heaven if they don't do what he says.
This movie takes a bold stance by saying that drugging, kidnapping, and brainwashing children is not as bad as it appears at first glance. Truly, this is an inspiration for all the aspiring kidnappers out there!
The brownie with the "Don't Tell" label really, genuinely, truly put a shiver down my spine. It's that moment where you don't exactly gasp or make a shocked sound ... you just stop breathing and gawk. Somebody signed off on this. Somebody released funds to produce it. Somebody committed this to media and distributed it. How? Also, something about the special-needs sister throwing a tantrum, refusing to "play heaven" anymore seriously tweaked something in my brain. In the words of snobs everywhere, "what the fuck, movie?"
What's bullshit is that there are three glowing reviews for this movie that keep it from getting the 1 star it deserves. I wish imdb can give movies like this 0 stars.
This movie NEEDS to be given the RUclips horror movie editing treatment. Add scary background music and quick choppy edits and you’ve got yourself pure horror gold.
@@EddieHawkinsII Due to its rapidly increasing "so bad it's good" status, and my own fondness for the Snob's review of the first one, I would pay good money for a Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas 2. Or better to review "This ain't Saving Christmas a XXXmas parody". Make this happen wood rocket, it is the holidays... =D
I know this movie is fiction, but I'm so disturbed and even angry about the psychological abuse the main character inflicted on those children and his sister! And the GALL this movie has to treat this as a good thing is just sickening!
Kirk Cameron literally kidnaps a black kid and forces him to work on his farm. This “family” movie depicts literal enslavement and that is something to be very very concerned with.
When you said the opening I thought you were just using hyperbole, that he actually was supposed to be an angel who takes dead kids to his version of heaven. Finding out you weren't kidding about that though, holy shit. Could we get Sarah's reaction to seeing this movie?
Now imagine the Nostalgia Critic’s reaction if he ever saw the pure insanity of this movie. He’d probably end up giving himself a stroke from all the screaming.
First off if Kirk was struggling to care for his sister, then he needed to put her in a home. I know it’s an unpleasant thought but sometimes you can’t care for a mentally ill on your own. Second why did no one report that mom who abused the girl?! People will call CPS if kids play outside but not if they’re getting beaten in public. I’m convinced the little boy grew up to be D’Andre in Saving Christmas. That’s why he’s at Kirk’s Christmas party
Thing about CPS is that today people call people who let their kids walk home alone abusers, back then what the mother was doing was only a few steps beyond what was considered "good old fashioned parenting"
Damn, try doing this movie now a days. If it had one ounce of realism, it would end with Kirk Cameron not being allowed within 50 feet of kids. Shoot, half expected Chris Hansen to pop up any moment.
He would be sentenced to a very long term in federal prison because he violated laws against slavery and also for the drugging and kidnapping of said slave and forcing him to never leave the farm or be seen by anyone.
"OK GUY'S, I GOT AN IDEA! WHAT IF THERE WERE A MOVIE ABOUT A GUY WHO STOLE KIDS FOR HIS MENTALLY HANDICAPPED SISTER?" "Oh, so it's a horror film?" "OH! Um, no." "... Jim, did you... did you..." "NO! NO, I DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN WHAT NO." "... Ok, let's do it so we can argue we didn't know so we won't be implicated."
And psychological horror, where slowly Kirk's character turns more abusive and threatening, ending up killing the poor kids, maybe abused kid being only survivor because she saw the signs.
@@colleen4ever That's what I thought lol. I honestly didn't think he went very far past 'Growing Pains' Blows my mind when I remember that's the show Di'Caprio started out on. Yin & Yang
8:16 A movie where a white guy kidnaps a black person and makes them work on a farm? I've never heard of anything like _that_ ever happening! Is this taking place in the south?
That’s what I thought. And why was Kirk in a regular court room with a regular judge? He literally committed a federal crime when he forced the black kid to work on the farm without any pay. That’s seriously at least 25 years of federal prison and slavery isn’t something the government is going to take lightly anymore since it is a clear Violation of the Constitution.
How does an entire group of writers, actors, crew or whatever just COMPLETELY miss how fucked up this thing was? I need a shower after watching this one.
Well at least this thing isn’t nearly as insulting or offensive as Sia’s Music was. I mean when even Autism Speaks harshly criticizes your movie and refuses to acknowledge it as a work of art, you know you’ve screwed up big time.
The thing that gets me most is that they could have done most of the same story if he just ADOPTED THE KIDS NORMALLY! He could have called child protective services, then felt guilty and adopted the little girl himself. Sure it's contrived but it wouldn't be horrifying.
The sister is mentally challenged, not mentally ill. There's a difference. Although just about everyone in the movie is living proof that human beings can live without a brain at all.
"WTF?!" doesn't even begin to describe the pure 😨 of this flick. I think Brad has finally found a film more bugnuts than questioning whether or not he's part of Fat Grandma's imagination.
the whole kidnap and dressing up as an angel reminds me of the South Park episode Child Abduction is Not Funny whereby the abductor dressed up as the Ghost of Christmas Present and abducted the kids of the Town of South Park
Between the kidnapping, stereotyping of African Americans, the absolutely offensive depiction of someone with mental health problems, belittling of actual child abuse, and the bias and inept presentation of the police and justice system I can't decide what more disgusts me. I love to hear from any commenters about what about this movie is the most horrific.
How is..how is this at all an inspiring or feel-good story whatsoever? He's committing a crime. Several crimes. I know it's a lot to ask, but couldn't Kirk's character have maybe struck a deal with the orphanage where they have the kids sign up to work and play on the farm? It'd be like a field trip sort of thing -- the kids get to spend time with animals and his sister, and the sister gets kids to play with, and *no laws are broken in the process* . And Kirk's character gets free labor from the kids, other than what he probably would need for snacks and juice and such. It would be a voluntary thing, of course, but kids love farm animals, so there would have to be at least a handful that would want to feed some pigs or pet some goats.
I believe that's the judge's sentence at the end... keep doing what you're doing.. but now protected by the law, as every privileged well-intentioned white boy should..
@@ohc1492 Oh yeah I understand that, but he didn't NEED to commit a crime to get that sort of arrangement, and it bothers me that Kirk Cameron's character thought of kidnapping kids instead of 1) Reporting abuse of the girl to the authorities, and 2) Coming forward to the orphanage with the proposal I outlined so that he and his sister would get help and companionship. Like, who THINKS "let's kidnap kids"? Is his character just so intellectually and creatively stunted that he thinks "I can't get it immediately, better take it instead." Children that don't have proper negotiating skills do shit like that, not grown-ass adults.
You forgot about the federal law involving forcing someone to become a slave. It’s a really serious matter if you e charged with it and will land you a minimum of 20 years in federal prison. Add in kidnapping and hostage charges and you’ve now got a sentence of 30 years if you’re lucky. It would probably be even more considering what Kirk did to the black kid.
I like the little black kid. He's like a little Mr. T. It would have been awesome if a tiny version of the A-Team defeated creepy Kirk Cameron and ended up with them saving Christmas. Edit: Tiny Murdock would be amazing.
Well if this movie proves anything, Kirk Cameron is a man of his word. Too bad his word involves kidnapping children and doing the worm, but it's a word nonetheless.
@@Never_heart I think the reason for that is because caligula is divorced from reality and you cant really imagine it happen in real life, or your life. But A Little Piece Of Heaven? This is disturbingly close to what some kidnappers do, or what we imagine them to do.
Great review, Brad! That was one f'ed up movie, and they tried to call it a family picture... I mean, a FAM-ULL-EE PICK-CHA. And yeah, that scene in the store with that poor girl getting slapped. Kirk and the cashier may have done nothing, but I'll tell ya, if I were in a store and I saw a parent slapping their kid around like that, I'd kick their ass up and down the street. Funniest part here was when Kirk pulled back the covers and said, "you're black!" Reminds me of that scene in Lethal Weapon 2. "But...but... you're black."
I saw someone write in the comments for another video (I think for the trailer) that said how “heartwarming” and “wonderful” this movie was and perfect for families. I asked the guy how drugging and kidnapping black kids and forcing them to become a literal slave perfect for families.
So...his punishment was to continue doing the thing he was doing already? That would be like punishing Jeffrey Dahmer by forcing him to eat people. It kind of defeats the purpose of punishing him in the first place.
So I guess the lesson is you can do whatever horrible things you want and you can and will get away with it if the kids you have Stockholmed tell the judge that you’re not such a bad person!
Kirk should have been sent to federal prison for at least 30 years. He violated the Constitution by literally enslaving a black kid and two more federal violations when he drugged and kidnapped the same kid. Kirk might get less for the girl since she wasn’t drugged when he took her away. But he’s still looking at around 40 years in federal prison.
Never thought I'd see the day where a Christmas movie starring a young Kirk Cameron that is more nuts than the one with the growed up Kirk Cameron... Also, considering the fact that Lacey Chabert is in this, I'm pretty sure this is where the writers of Modern Family Guy got their inspiration for Meg's Flanderization.
The other day I messaged Lacey Chabert on Instagram and told her I saw this movie recently, and while I didn't think it was any good, told her I thought her performance was great. She responded and thanked me, which I didn't expect.
It's like someone went back in time and gave the movie's writer the rough draft to a rejected South Park episode and just told him to change the names of the places and people. Kirk Cameron has to have one of the craziest extended cinematic universes out there. There should be a crossover between Cameron's and Pirkle's cinematic universes.
Move over What's Eating Gilbert Grape. There's a new classic about people with developmental disabilities in town ... SERIOUSLY! Who would have thought Left Behind was somehow Kirk Cameron's most grounded movie? The Ringer had a less offensive portrayal of those with developmental disabilities. And don't even get me started on the kidnapping shit!
At least ‘The Ringer’ gave them humanity and had several actors who were actually disabled. That movie was trying to provide commentary about not mistreating them, despite missing the mark at times. This movie is straight-up ‘Simple Jack’ territory. Or more accurately, what ‘Simple Jack’ was parodying.
And then the little girl (Hazel) grew up to be the girl from Christian Mingle: The Movie. Goddamnit Lacey Chabert! Pick better movies! You were Eliza Thornberry!
@@bridgetleekobold9979 I don't think her father, the inventor of toaster strudel, would be too pleased that she's been kidnapped by Kirk Cameron so she can entertain his mentally disabled sister.
What a festive Christmas story. What exactly does "playing Heaven" with Kirk Cameron's developmentally challenged sister involve? I... am almost afraid to ask.
Not even halfway through the review and I had to pause it twice. First time to comprehend what the fuck was going on in the movie, and second for “angel measles” which literally left me speechless before shouting “OK!” SERIOUSLY!!!
The abused girl in the movie broke my heart. The fact that living with Kirk Cameron is shown as a better alternative makes me sick to my stomach . And hold up ! People knew that she was being abused and no one called the authorities. This is many shades of fucked up.
Take any episode of a crime procedural show that's about a kidnapping, and replace their scenes of the kidnapper with this. I'm pretty sure you would not only get an emmy, but David Fincher would cite you as the inspiration for his next film.
It is our patriotic duty to make sure Kirk Cameron never makes another goddamn Christmas movie. I am legitimately worried about what he's gonna do with his next Christmas movie. It might involve him starting his own cult.
When Kirk Cameron dressed like the angel and talked to the little girl, his facial expressions made him a perfect resemblance of Ramsey Bolton from Game of Thrones.
Okay, for some reason I'm starting to appreciate "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" a lot more. I mean I'm glad this movie flew under my radar in the 90's. This movie just has "Wrong" written all over it. I mean, just the plot alone is a warning flag, an orphaned Farmer kidnaps two children so they can be playmates for his mentally disabled sister. And yet by the end of the movie, everyone's okay with it, even the kidnapped kids, and Kirk's character is basically "rewarded" for his misdeed. At least with "Saving Christmas", the plot was batshit insane for it to be so bad its good, but this movie, despite some good filmmaking and decent performances, has its morals mixed up. Great episode.
"If you don't get me a girl, I won't play Heaven with you anymore." That is one of the most disturbing things I've ever heard. That could mean SO MANY different things, and NOT ONE of them doesn't involve jail time.
That scene is so wrong on so many levels...
There is not a cop on Earth who WOULDN'T be suspicious if he/she heard that, let me tell you (even INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU would be suspicious)...
Oh thank you, I'm not the only one who heard that really weird subtext.
That line needs to go into a horror movie stat- although maybe it’s already in one.
it's also insulting to the mentally challenged
Brad is a proper homeboy.
CaseX This comment has been Lloyd Approved!
"You're black!?"- Kirk Cameron
That wasn't in the script. That was Kirk's genuine reaction when he saw him, so they just kept it.
I bet thats his real life reaction to.
I'd imagine a normal kidnapper would at least do some very basic research on his target before he goes to the trouble of drugging said target's brownie before said kidnapping.
I shrieked out loud with laughter at that line. That one caught me by surprise.
White privilege or white supremacist really do exist early Hollywood years.

They say in Heaven, kidnapping and child labour comes first. Well, Kirk Cameron said so anyway.

Ahhh this is so creepy. This feels like bad a sequel to Of Mice and Men
jrjoanes I’m amazed the sister didn’t kill the little girl by hugging her, petting her and calling her George.
Someone needs to do a crossover of old fashioned and saving Christmas, but frame it like Freddy vs Jason.
We kind of have it in the form of this movie.
So...his punishment was to continue doing the thing he was doing already? That would be like punishing Jeffrey Dahmer by forcing him to eat people. It kind of defeats the purpose of punishing him in the first place.
So I guess the lesson is you can do whatever horrible things you want and you can and will get away with it if the kids you have Stockholmed tell the judge that you’re not such a bad person!
Kirk should have been sent to federal prison for at least 30 years. He violated the Constitution by literally enslaving a black kid and two more federal violations when he drugged and kidnapped the same kid. Kirk might get less for the girl since she wasn’t drugged when he took her away. But he’s still looking at around 40 years in federal prison.
I like to think these Kirk Cameron movies are set in the same universe.
Kirkverse
@@phantomzone2725 The Cameron extended cinematic universe
This was nominated for an Emmy: 1992, Outstanding Individual Achievement in Music Composition for a Miniseries or a Special . Seriously!!
If you thought that Saving Christmas was batshit insane... it is. But this is worse!
Was this made during Kirk Cameron's drug addiction years?
Kirk didn’t need to take drugs to get this crazy. Religion did it for him!
"you were in the young frankenstein!
and the oogieloves."
so Camerons adopted sister went full simple jack
You never go full Jack
You m-m-m-made me happy.
Make my eyes raaaaaaaain!
The people who made this movie have all got g-g-g-g-good brains.
She's married to Lt. Dangle from Reno 911. Not joking.
Never thought I'd see the day where a Christmas movie starring a young Kirk Cameron that is more nuts than the one with the growed up Kirk Cameron...
Also, considering the fact that Lacey Chabert is in this, I'm pretty sure this is where the writers of Modern Family Guy got their inspiration for Meg's Flanderization.
I didn't realize that Kirk Cameron's differently abled angelic death cult would ever be a thing that I would ever type.
I'm not sure how to process that sentence.
@@johnherb4243 I am still trying to make sense of this sentence.... Man this is a fucked up movie....
Loomis??? This the spinoff to Halloween that we don't deserve!
Well this movie is scarier than most of the Halloween sequels.
Now we know why Micheal Meyers turned out the way he did, everyone in that Loomis family is insane.
But its more creeping than many other Halloween Movies
the pig farm actually disposes of the bodies Michael Meyers leaves behind. Freddy and Jason are on the waiting list.
For a second I thought it was Brad doing a cover of the Avenged Sevenfold song. I had very different expectations.
The story of that song was somehow less horrific than this movies plot
I to was thinking of the Avenged Sevenfold song. Actually that would be a really cool schlock movie using the storyline from the song
_a word to the wise; when the fire dies, you think it's over but it's just begun..._
The other day I messaged Lacey Chabert on Instagram and told her I saw this movie recently, and while I didn't think it was any good, told her I thought her performance was great. She responded and thanked me, which I didn't expect.
I wonder if she was aware of how weird the story was
This movie makes Miss Velma look calm and subdued and 'Fun in Balloon Land' look wholesome.
How did anyone not think this was messed up?
It's like someone went back in time and gave the movie's writer the rough draft to a rejected South Park episode and just told him to change the names of the places and people. Kirk Cameron has to have one of the craziest extended cinematic universes out there. There should be a crossover between Cameron's and Pirkle's cinematic universes.
This will end like Jonestown aint it?
Move over What's Eating Gilbert Grape. There's a new classic about people with developmental disabilities in town
...
SERIOUSLY! Who would have thought Left Behind was somehow Kirk Cameron's most grounded movie? The Ringer had a less offensive portrayal of those with developmental disabilities. And don't even get me started on the kidnapping shit!
At least ‘The Ringer’ gave them humanity and had several actors who were actually disabled. That movie was trying to provide commentary about not mistreating them, despite missing the mark at times. This movie is straight-up ‘Simple Jack’ territory. Or more accurately, what ‘Simple Jack’ was parodying.
Holiday classic indeed. Kirk Cameron is a menace and must be stopped at all costs.
A Family Classic, Manson Family that is.
The sister's performance... WOW! OUTSTANDING! DiCaprio's performance in Gilbert Grape has nothing on this!
Shockingly, this got an Emmy nomination for its music
And then the little girl (Hazel) grew up to be the girl from Christian Mingle: The Movie. Goddamnit Lacey Chabert! Pick better movies! You were Eliza Thornberry!
IWillBeHers and for gods sake your father invented toaster strudel
@@bridgetleekobold9979 I don't think her father, the inventor of toaster strudel, would be too pleased that she's been kidnapped by Kirk Cameron so she can entertain his mentally disabled sister.
You were Meg
At least this was her first acting gig
Cloris Leachman decided to pick this movie after winning an Oscar,a Golden Globe and 4 Emmies
Surely she could pick better movies, she was in Not Another Teen Movie.
What a festive Christmas story.
What exactly does "playing Heaven" with Kirk Cameron's developmentally challenged sister involve? I... am almost afraid to ask.
Jesus this was fucking great, Merry Christmas Snob, Thanks for making these reviews man. One of the most underrated youtubers.
this is not heaven its PURGATORY
Mathieu Leader more like hell
You can get out of purgatory
This is The Bad Place
Oh this is definitely Hell!
This might be my favorite Snob episode to date.
You didn't even need to make jokes all you had to do is describe the batshit insane plot.
2:00 Starring Cloris Leachman. Because of course.
Has that woman ever said "no" to any project ever?
Apparently not since she did Oogieloves.
-Who wrote this?- Who let Kirk Cameron rewrite this!?
Where is Jason Voorhees when you need him??
Well they did have a headstone for Loomis, so I'd have to guess he's down the street at Michael's house wondering if it's ok to go back outside yet
I wanna see a drama like Criminal Minds to just straight-up steal this movie's plot for the villain of an episode. Would be amazing.
WOW!!! This movie is the kind of next-level WTF that only comes along once in a blue moon. Seriously, how did this movie even get made?
Not even halfway through the review and I had to pause it twice. First time to comprehend what the fuck was going on in the movie, and second for “angel measles” which literally left me speechless before shouting “OK!” SERIOUSLY!!!
Kirk, Tell Me about the Rabbits
Brad's oh no was how I felt about the whole movie.
You could use creepy music through the whole movie and it would work
The abused girl in the movie broke my heart. The fact that living with Kirk Cameron is shown as a better alternative makes me sick to my stomach .
And hold up ! People knew that she was being abused and no one called the authorities. This is many shades of fucked up.
Take any episode of a crime procedural show that's about a kidnapping, and replace their scenes of the kidnapper with this. I'm pretty sure you would not only get an emmy, but David Fincher would cite you as the inspiration for his next film.
A very special Law & Order SVU.
It is our patriotic duty to make sure Kirk Cameron never makes another goddamn Christmas movie. I am legitimately worried about what he's gonna do with his next Christmas movie. It might involve him starting his own cult.
When Kirk Cameron dressed like the angel and talked to the little girl, his facial expressions made him a perfect resemblance of Ramsey Bolton from Game of Thrones.
If only he'd rounded up a posse of twenty good men, he could have brought home all the children his sister could ever want.
Okay, for some reason I'm starting to appreciate "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" a lot more. I mean I'm glad this movie flew under my radar in the 90's. This movie just has "Wrong" written all over it. I mean, just the plot alone is a warning flag, an orphaned Farmer kidnaps two children so they can be playmates for his mentally disabled sister. And yet by the end of the movie, everyone's okay with it, even the kidnapped kids, and Kirk's character is basically "rewarded" for his misdeed. At least with "Saving Christmas", the plot was batshit insane for it to be so bad its good, but this movie, despite some good filmmaking and decent performances, has its morals mixed up. Great episode.
I have NEVER laughed so hard at a review JESUS CHRIST
This review is destined to become a classic
I legit wanna see this as a modern thriller remake
Wow measles! Possibly also an anti-vaxxer? Nah, but it's fun to speculate.
Could be.....
Crocoduck doesn't believe in vaccination! Polio is a liberal conspiracy.
'For your crimes, you are sentenced to run an orphanage' has become a running gag between my wife and myself after seeing this movie.
18:57 Oh don't worry too much that's just a pellet gun. With some luck the kid might shoot him in the eyes punishing him with permanent blindness
Seriously some next-level what the fuck. On the plus side, I haven’t laughed that much in a while. Thanks for highlighting this gem Snob.
If this doesnt have Kirk drinking a empty cup of hot coco im gonna call humbug on this.
While you’re calling humbug, please also call the cops!
Got any Saving Christmas Blend Coffee?
The clips are painful to watch. I can’t imagine watching the whole thing...
Truly, Snob was a brave soul. His mental sacrifice will not be in vain. *plays TAPS for the fallen brain cells*
Imagine DIRECTING the movie. I mean, I'm glad Mimi made Deep Impact, which threw this movie to the obscurity, but still...
