This movie is very "I uphold the sexist gender roles that demand women stay at home, but I'm bitter that my wife doesn't work"
Underrated comment
You just made me realize why the wife doesn't work despite them needing money. Christian movie.
The manager making Jack cashier and then just standing next to him telling him he's doing it wrong is such a manager thing to do, the most realistic part of the movie
"Hey can you man this register real quick while I go to the bathroom"
"Yeah sure"
...
"are you gonna go to the bathroo-"
*"You're not doing good enough."*
The most realistic part about this movie is people being shitty for no reason while you are working in customer service.
I remember when I was at McDonalds with my dad, and the guy in front of us kept on getting mad because he didn't get his free cookie or something like that. He was so unnecessarily rude about. The cashier told us how someone else got mad at her because she spoke spanish a little
Use to work at subway and this guy wanted a free sub and I said we couldn’t and I kid you not he tried to fight me and I was jus like wtf dude
Boomers be the worst ones
Oh yea. Litetally the most realistic. People are so rude to people working in food service for no reason.
Boy can I agree. I'd like to like this over and over LOL I have a housekeeping business and people already treat housekeepers like crap(not all but more than you'd think) so imagine how they are when calling about housekeeping. The shit I hear is Mind blowing. People dehumanize housekeepers left and right, get weirdly sexual towards them, and pissed for charging reasonable pricing for cleaning. If your housekeeper is letting you go as a client, good chance you're a dick.
To speak in Yugioh Terms: The writer for this movie hates his wife.
wait fr
can you please expand?!
@@AS-yo2uy She’s just like the worst character. 😂 He really said wives can’t work or be like-able in anyway. 😂
@@GloryInWonderland I was wondering who wrote that wife character. Then it turned into a Christian movie so I understand.
Doesn’t sound like very Yugioh behavior
I love it when you think you're watching a normal movie but in the last 5 minutes it swerves hard into being a Christian movie.
A few years ago I watched this movie about a couple getting tortured at a shady motel. It was your average shitty horror movie until the couple escaped the motel where they met Jesus fucking Christ himself who told them they died in a car crash, and that the motel was actually Hell, and they were sent there because the woman had an abortion earlier that year.
what was the name of this movie? it sounds terrible and I need to see it immediately
@@gideongivesharrowboners For the life of me, I cannot remember what it's called, and just can't seem to find it no matter how I search.
That said, _The Frozen_ (2012) is another awful Christian horror movie with a similar premise to the aforementioned _Vacancy_ knockoff.
@@spiderwe8s now I have to watch all shitty horror-turned-Christian movies
That last part caught me off guard oml
LMAO WTF, of course a shitty pro life christian would think that's okay
Absolutely love the "Joseph and Mary were homeless" thing this plot hinges on given that they were just... travelling? They had a home???? But who am I to question such an *Unusual Santa*?
Yeah, poverty as we see it now didn't really exist in the times of Jesus, because the world wasn't industrialized yet. Joseph was a carpenter, so he likely built their home and offered his services to others to barter for other goods and services, and carpentry certainly wasn't in low demand at the time. Lots of people had their own small farms and/or gardens and rarely needed to purchase or barter for basic needs such as food, shelter, and water. Sure, they were poor by today's standards, but anyone other than the richest people in the Roman Empire were poor by today's standards. There is even a line of scripture that states that even though he *was* rich, Jesus *chose* to be poor to show people the virtue of poverty: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9
@@Manigeitora Jesus was pretty based tbh
I want a Christmas movie about a couple desperately trying to find a hotel at Christmas. That'd be more accurate to Joseph and Mary's struggle.
I think a lot of people misunderstand what is meant by "Joseph and Mary were homeless." I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone actually believes they were in Bethlehem to begin with because they were homeless, since Luke pretty explicitly states that they were there for an Imperial Census; rather, they were homeless when fleeing Herod, from Bethlehem to Egypt -- i.e. they were quite literally homeless refugees.

I'll give you a bit of the inside scoop on this film. It was written, directed, and produced by the director who also played the mean guy in the bathroom who shoved paper towel down the neck of Jack's penguin costume. He and his wife also did the casting. The director also edited the film... The casting was mostly done through cattle calls in NE Indiana. There was not a lot of direction going on during filming so that's the only defense I can give to a lot of the bad acting in the film. Nothing like "project," or "try that differently..." There weren't a lot of takes on the film either... meaning, each scene was only shot a few times...sometimes only 2-3 takes. I believe the budget was something like $10,000. The members of the cast were only given the scenes they were in. We knew zero about the film other than what we'd read in auditions and the scenes we appeared in. So there was no context given to anything we were doing. None of the actors were paid. Not even the leads. The leads were given... I think 2-3% of the proceeds of the film? Something like that. None of the supporting cast or extra were paid anything. They didn't even cater food during filming. Being on set wasn't much different than being in a community theatre production - except there wasn't any rehearsals. I've done a lot of theatre, playing leads and large supporting roles, and was extremely disappointed in my own performance. But again, we weren't getting much direction so none of us really had any idea we sounded or looked that bad. Wardrobe... came from our own closets...there was no costume department. There was very little to no make-up done. Props were off the cuff...no prop dept. So, again, 10K budget... very little direction... And an interesting tid bit... the mean mom and the fighting kids at the restaurant were actually the wife and kids of the actor who played Wesley. So... there's the dirt.
This was... enlightening
what was your part?
Yo who did you play
Who did you play
I need to know who you played
Fun fact: That whole "work for free for a week" part is actually, uh, *very illegal* (in the US, at least). Unless you are doing an internship through an accredited university or trade school program, or volunteering for a nonprofit, companies are *required by law* to pay you at least minimum wage. And even in unpaid internships, companies have to be *very* careful about what work you do - basically, if you are providing anything of value to the company (such as designing a shirt, flipping a burger, or yes, even tendering payment from a customer), then you *must* be financially compensated for it. The department of labor has very strict rules about what constitutes an internship vs. employment. This is also why many companies in the US have stopped doing unpaid internships - in *2015 alone,* Warner Music paid out 4.2 million dollars, NBC paid out 6.4 million dollars, and Viacom paid out 7.2 million dollars due to lawsuits involving unpaid internships.
As a Smart, Professional Hardworking Bad Dad and Business Guy, Jack should fucking know this. In fact, he could have stood to make a fair bit of money trying to get people to work for free and then suing the burger joint.
Homeless for the Holidays? More like Class Action Christmas, baby!
Class Action Christmas has a nice ring to it lol. Thanks for the law enlightenment ✨
restaurants still do this kind of shit, they're called "stages". i once worked for free at a restaurant for a month on the promise of later employment like a jackass bc i was naive and thought it would make me look good to the prospective employer, who fired me immediately after that month for being 10 minutes late. it's illegal but the way labor is treated in the US and neoliberal capitalism as a whole, this kind of stuff happens regularly in many industries, especially food service.

"so poor people like eating rats, right?"
When i was homeless i would literally sleep in a park, get harrassed by other homeless people walking by, keep all of my stuff in a shopping cart next to me while i slept, had to sleep on the concrete sometimes because of the sprinklers, and hid my blankets and pillows on a roof to make sure they wouldn't get taken and i didn't have to keep them w me all day, I'd get teased and laughed at, pictures taken of me, people recording themselves giving me a dollar, food thrown at me, all kinds of shit, i can't believe how its portrayed here

I was homeless for 6 years and I can honestly say that the holiday season was fucking excruciating for me at the time. If you are able to be safe inside with loved ones for the holidays you are truly blessed. And if there is any way you can help someone who does NOT have that ability it means so much more to them then you'll ever realize!
Hey, I don’t know you but I’m glad you’re okay and I’m so sorry for what you had to go through. I hope you have a good Christmas this year
I have never had to be homeless, but i know how fucking hard ya’ll have it and i’m so so sorry the world did that to you. My family are lower middle class, but we save money to give christmas presents to a homeless person every year, and for around two years now i’ve been donating every time i see someone in need. Its fucking horrible that capitalism pushes people into poverty, and as much as many people think it’s the homeless persons fault, it’s not. It is NEVER a persons fault they’re homeless and it’s never okay. I wish the world had more people like my mother. I’ll just say i’m so proud of you for making it out alive :)) Anyway that was my lil rant bye-
I'm sorry that happened, I hope you're doing well now
I could never imagine suffering like that, I’m so so so sorry. You are so strong. My childhood dream was helping homeless people, I wrote about it in my elementary school journals and stuff. I still hope to live out that dream lol. From experience, what are the most helpful resources/gifts I can give out? I donate regularly so I would like to know what helps the most

Screw food, heating, housing, medicine, etc. they need some Tickle Me Elmos.
This reminded me of that video of a guy beating the shit out of a Tickle Me Elmo with an hammer.
But its understandable coming from a child that has never experienced lacking basic needs, his parents purposefully try to shelter him from knowing real hardship, and his focus is on things that bring him joy in his life. At least he shows compassion. The adults should know better

What about all the people who just don't carry cash? Does Santa take credit cards, or are they all cursed, too? And what if you don't have the money to give in the first place?
@@YourFriendlyOnlineStranger "Sorry, I can't donate because I just gave my cash to another charity. Merry Christmas"

Why don't they curse the people who not only don't give money but also think they have the right to say rude shit to people asking for donations? Or curse all the rude people in that restaurant treating the main character like shit? Or that shitty manager? I would watch with popcorn.
Fast food employees being treated like garbage is the most realistic part of this movie.

the actual moral of the story: if you don’t donate enough to the church god will make you homeless
Accurate 😂😂😭
Lmaoo
God church*
honestly 💯😏
Okay, so I know the kid wasn't directed to act well/can't act well, but his expressions are funny as fuck, and I thank him for his sacrifice (given that he's a grown adult now who probably looks back at this time at cringes).
edit: honestly this kid just looks like he dissociates through every family interaction... and honestly? same
The son is like:" why is the only thing I can feel is pain?"
3:19 Is nobody else concerned that this Santa literally cursed someone (and by association, their entire FAMILY) to be homeless because that person didn’t donate ‘enough money’?
I mean, how did the Santa even know it was being selfish? What if the guy didn’t have a lot of cash money on him? What if he had already donated to a different charity and didn’t have a lot left over? What if he was poor and didn’t have a lot of money to spare??
Not to mention, people in Santa costumes would not be collecting money for a church. Santa Claus is an American recontextualization of an old European legend that's based *very loosely* on a real Bishop from the third century AD. People in Santa costumes almost exclusively raise money for The Salvation Army and similar nonprofits. In my experience at least, churches rarely send people out to collect donations unless they're doing a food drive - and that money's for the food, not for the church. They get plenty of money from the weekly donations from their members. Now, if they showed him being stingy with the collection plate at church every Sunday, that would make a lot more sense, and also remove the inconsistency of someone in a Santa suit being out in fucking September.
THIS
Yeah that happened to me a few weeks ago because I was approached by two people asking for money which is very rare in my town so I gave one homeless person $10 and the other person I only gave maybe $1-2 in change because I was almost out of cash.
This bothered me a lot too. Like, you don’t know this person’s life or income? He doesn’t have to donate if he doesn’t want to.

Late to the party but singling out one guy and firing him for a mistake is actually pretty dang common. They just don't say it that clearly. honestly that's why I think Bezos stepped down. Too much bad press associated with his name but they didn't change company policies about bathroom breaks
(yeah yeah i'm a year late to your year late comment lol) yes but this isn't quite that, Jack isn't, like, a public face of the company, he's just a marketing guy and there's no reason that the public at large would be mad at one specific guy in the marketing department for the mistake rather than the company or the head of the company. On an internal level this could be pretty much the same case and it would make a lot more sense but the movie makes it clear that this isn't what this is, it's not about trying to appease the board of directors it's about trying to quell the *public* backlash

What I really don't understand is how at 3:20 He's cursed for not giving enough money, when he's clearly giving, like, a pretty generous amount. Those are clearly quarters, I hate to be a pessimist for the holidays but that's certainly more then most people donate to charity santas. They clearly want him to be a scrooge-like character so it makes no sense for him to donate money at all.

Yes it's a VERY well thought out script written by Chistians............
@Jason Edenburg = our blind faith has no explanation so we stopped asking questions
Kid: Dad, the wealth inequality has substantially increased since the neoliberal policies were placed. Also, due to regular economy crash and lack of labour laws, one can't even be certain that certain if he can keep his job and put food on the table.
Dad: Yeah... but you know what that means? We must distract ourselves with consumerism as long as we can.
Man, this is accidently really a good representation of an abusive relationship. Seriously, that wife is *textbook* abusive.
Also, I like how the movie tried to have an Anti-capitalist message by... Treading out the message of capitalism unopposed.
Hearing the script was written in three weeks has the same energy as Jake Paul saying he made a song in 24 hours. Its not the flex people think it is.
Yeah, even crappy writing takes some time, but this movies writing is just horrible
Keep in mind that some people have absolutely made great or even funny songs in 24 hours or less. The difference between them and Jake Paul is that the people who write these good songs in a day know what they're doing. Excellent script writers can write a decent script in 3 weeks. Maybe it won't be the best movie script ever written, but it'll be good. If you hire a bunch of no-skill writers who don't understand jackshit about poverty, homelessness, or the work force, of course the script will end up being horrible. 3 weeks, months, or even YEARS wouldn't help that.
The script for a horror exclusive named Host was written in two weeks and was still rather fun and enjoyable.
It is when you’re only given three days to write a script and one of those days has to be for recording :)
It’s not even the fact that that’s a short time, I mean there’s top hits that have been written in less then an hour and genuine short films that have been written and produced in weeks but it’s just like… you got THAT quality… after THAT long of a time..
The worst part is that they act like homelessness is some fictional concept and not something that real people deal with.

Craziest story I have for when I was homeless is the night I almost got shot. I was sleeping in a car and saw two guys fighting like 10 yards from my car. I just laid back and hoped they wouldn’t notice I was awake and watching. Next thing I know one guy ran to his truck after getting knocked down and other dude was running after him. Next thing I know other homie is running away. Now I lived in the hood, I know people don’t just run. Other dude comes around from the truck and has a whole ass colt 45. I laid back mad fast and just clutched my sword, my biggest comfort I’ve had since I was 12 and swordsmanship saved my life. Like 10 seconds later I hear the gun go off. Next morning when I get out of the car the bullet is in the door. I’m still convinced that the soul of my best friend saved my life that night. Being homeless is not some fun time that’s easy. It’s dangerous and is one of the worst times in a persons life
I hope that you’re doing better now!
It’s so scary out there, I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’ve been there, hope times are better!

Kurtis is a better actor in his joke scenes than these people in an ACTUAL movie.
Edit: Mama mia 5.1K likes?
Fact
“Actual movie” is used very loosely here. 😂
@@mltmanthony lol
LMFAOOOOO IKRR
WHYD I READ KURTIS AS KURTIE AND THEN GO “DID THEY JUST CALL HIM KURTIE??”
The misprint could have said “internal use only” instead of “external use only” and that would have made 10000 times more sense. Such bad writing lol
I agree
*DO nOW InHaLe*
this comment alone is smarter than the whole plot of the movie

“It’s okay to say Merry Christmas!”
-someone offended by everyone having happy holidays
Oh my god as someone working retail during the holidays, I hated that shit so much. It was literally *company mandated* that we not say Merry Christmas because GUESS WHAT that's not the only religious holiday practiced in December! But how DARE we use an all-inclusive phrase instead of one specific to your faith, because we can totally tell if someone is celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, or Saturnalia, just by looking at them.
@K You understand how Kwanzaa and Hanukkah are different than Christmas. You understand that the holidays of minorities are not comparable to the most popular holiday in Winter.
@@genericname2747 African Americans we do not celebrate Kwanza, only in elementary school. 😂😂😂😂
@@donttalktomeyoureannoying8736 Most gift giving holidays are celebrated by only kids
This was less representative of actually being homeless and more just a bunch of white people glamping :/
as someone who was homeless, can confirm this is not accurate :)
Exactly. I’ve never been homeless myself, but I do a lot of work with homeless people and in poor areas, and it just made me so angry. At least it seems like most people see right through it though. I’d hate for anyone to actually think it’s accurate :/
And the fact that this is considered a Christian movie is so insulting to everyone, Christian and non 😂😂😂😂 this has nothing to do with God or being a better human being lmao
@@ej6975 Yeah its super insulting lol like i lived in an insect-infested shack with no running water and then inside a church for a total of 3 years my whole life and then this movie was like "LOLOL HOMELESSNESS = QUIRKY PLOT POINT LMFAO LETS GO CAMPING IN A SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD PARK"
@@GreenJuicePouch ikr it’s so insensitive. Ugh I’m so sorry you had to deal with that.

i feel like skincare *definitely* should not have 'fumes'.
Yeah, if something produces fumes that would be harmful to inhale, it absolutely should not go on skin. That company would have gotten sued anyway, because those products would be harmful even if used as intended.
Quality Assurance and former Regulatory (labeling) specialist here: A company will _absolutely_ throw you under the bus if it was directly your fault that a bunch of people got sick due to your negligence.
When the FDA comes cracking down on your factory, everything gets flipped upside down, everyone's in a rush to cover every @$$ that can be covered, and if they narrow it down to one person, that person (and probably their manager, possibly going way up the chain even to the VPs) is on the chopping block.
If you put "peanut free" on something and some kid goes into anaphylactic shock and dies, someone's going to jail, and everyone's shouting "not it."
At best, if no one's dead, the FDA will be breathing down your company's neck for years and the brand will lose public trust, and at least someone will be asked to resign.
The 'I won't hire you cause you're not my type' part just reminded me: There was this hardware store in a nearby town where the manager only hired attractive twenty year olds and teenagers. For years this went on, and it seems no one had a problem with this, just laughed about it. This stopped recently and there's like guys and old women working there now. Maybe he left. But I could never figure out if the manager was a creep or if this was a conscious business plan and he thought this would get more customers.
Did any of those young female employees ever come forward and accuse him of harassment or abuse at any point? You gotta believe that at least one of them was sleeping with him to keep her job, har har yuk yuk.
as a depressed person I can confirm, that ice water cured me
Any side effects? Chronic wet face? Bed wetting? I want to see this infomercial
Do you think it could cure my bipolar too or does it need to be lukewarm?
Do you think scolding hot would help with my anxiety? I’ve been thinking of giving it a try :)

My grandma was watching this and she said “This movie actually has a great message!”
Grandma no
*Grandma was lost to the dark side*
Well the message they were aiming for weren't bad, just poorly executed
19:42 minutes in. THIS MOVIE’S KINDA BASED????????
Edit: the literal next second in the video it became about god💀💀 I thought it was socialism
Giving of your own free will isn't socialism, but okay
Socialism is giving because it's the law
"Jesus made his family homeless as a baby" is so goddamn funny to me
Never thought of that before 🤣🤣🤣
PLEASEEE😭
_Time stamp please-_
It's funny, but also not true. They still had a home, they just weren't at it at the time. Which hurts the character's point and arguably makes it even funnier lol
As a Christian I was so confused
me: this dude looks like adam sandler
kurtis: i know dude, heres your acknowledgement
That is exactly how I felt lol
i literally commented "this guy looks like adam sandler and matt leblanc" and then he made the yu gi oh joke lol I was legit scared
haha you looked
Every time he's in a scene my mind says "ah look it's Adam Sandl-" then my eyes adjust and the disappointment comes.
What's more surprising is going to your grandma's house and opening the butter cookies tin, and there's cookies inside.

Tfw your skin product says “DO NOW INHALE FUMES” and you’re like “oh okay”
Product: Spread a small drop evenly on the face. Do not rinse off. Keep away from children.
People: Hrhrhrhrhr I guess I’ll just follow the “DO NOW INHALE FUMES” in big, red letters at the front of the package instead.
I mean, it’s a skin care product. It’s supposed to go on your skin. If it produces fumes that would be harmful to inhale, it shouldn’t be going on skin in the first place. If I saw a skin care product with a “do not inhale fumes” label, I would not buy that. I would not put that on my skin.
in the boy's defense, if my mom started singing "joy to the world" i wouldn't be showing any emotion either-
well, maybe one- annoyance- but that's it-
ive only spent a small amount of time on the streets, but yeah let me tell you its nothing like "Camp Fun Time" like they portray it here lol. I definitely wasn't playing volleyball, I was trying to figure out how I was going to eat that day, and where I could find a safe place to sleep. This movie was pure ridiculousness.

I grew up in a Christian cult and vividly remember asking my mom if Santa and god were friends. This answers my questions
One time a cop thought I was homeless because I had a shitty car with a backpack in the back. He wouldn’t let me park the car in a park next to my parents house, which I went to have a private phone call lol.
The ending was so stupid. Religion, often times, puts poverty on a pedestal. There's nothing virtuous about not having your needs met.
Seriously tho, like the amount of times I got told in church when we did offerings (which is just giving money to the church) like “oh here’s a story of someone who was completely broke and had nothing we they gave their last penny to this offering” like bruh don’t guilt trip poor people, they’re allowed to keep what they have smh
I dont think christianity puts it on a pedestal though. In fact, helping the poor and homeless is a big part of christianity. If any religion puts makes poverty virtuous, it would probably be buddism or muslim.......
@@deepfriedspaghetti982 I'm pretty sure not buddism. I may be wrong though.

Like, same with how a lot of people assume that Christians hate LGBTQ+ when my big sister is Transgender and I am Bisexual and I go by she/her and they/them which is called Demigender. And of course with the working stereotype, it’s just not true 😅
@@georgiabischoff5593 nothing more true to how I’m feeling rn
It's annoying that his dad doesn't care about what his son was interested in, if he's more interested in what's going on in the world, he shouldn't tell him to "be normal" and say that at least the toys are in stock even though most people can't make enough money to support themselves.
Ah yes, homelessness is definitely just a comfy camping adventure, it’s not at all a terribly difficult hardship that real human beings suffer through every day
"its okay to say merry christmas."
oh..... so hes one of THOSE guys
I’m glad someone else caught that 😐🤚
The worst.
Could someone please explain to me? I'm not American and don't know if I don't know something that would make that scene more understandable or funny if I knew it.
@@LautloseLebwerwurst3000 Sure, I’ll explain it! In the US it’s normally considered most polite to wish someone “Happy Holidays” in December since you can’t be sure of their preferred religion or celebrated holiday. There are people, though, who get offended by this and think that you should only wish people “Merry Christmas” because that’s the Christian/traditional way of doing things. They feel like saying happy holidays stifles Christmas somehow.
That's exactly what I thought when he said that. I was like, what's with this movie?? So, my husband looked up the ratings, and there weren't very many, but the one "critic" who gave this movie a good review (5/5) was a Christian reviewer who was like, "Yayyyyyyyy!!! Finally, a wholesome Christian movie for faith-based families!!" We seriously wanted to vomit.
