I really thought this was going to be a great movie.. in the beginning of the movie it reminded me of how my neighbors and I have the same competitive spirit on our street. I was laughing up until the point the characters decided Christmas had nothing to do Jesus and to use his name in vain that way just set me off. I rarely stop a movie once it has started but that’s what did it for me. To put it in perspective the only other movie I walked out of was a movie called 8mm with Nicholas Cage about children in the porn industry. I loved his character in the movie but the context of it I just couldn’t handle watching.
I’m far from perfect, but hollywood is getting more blatant with their approach on keeping Christ out of Christmas movies. I really hope that the writers that wrote that scene, the director and producers that I can guarantee thought it was a good line really think about that. Amazon should really be ashamed as well.
It’s just very disheartening to say the least.
