Kirk Cameron has been fighting to keep his new film 'Saving Christmas' in good graces; the actor took on movie review site Rotten Tomatoes in hopes to change the public perception of his film. This week Cameron took to Facebook to announce that his film release has now been extended.

"Wow, we did it! Saving Christmas has been extended beyond our original two weeks in almost 300 theaters!," he wrote, "Let's keep it going! What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than taking your family to see Saving Christmas? Together, we are putting Christ back in CHRISTmas!"

Despite the heavy criticism of Cameron's latest holiday film the actor said over four million people came out to watch the film. The 'Growing Pains' star asked his supporters to over shadow the negative reviews the film received by voicing their opinions.

"Help me storm the gates of Rotten Tomatoes!," the actor instructed on an older Facebook post providing a link to the popular movie rating site, "All of you who love Saving Christmas - go rate it at Rotten Tomatoes right now and send the message to all the critics that WE decide what movies we want our families to see!"

According to Cameron, supporters came out in droves and he could not be happier with the level of support he received. "Wow, over 100,000 of you have shared the trailer for Saving Christmas," he wrote upon its release. 'Saving Christmas' hit theaters November 14 and has now been extended into 300 theaters surpassing its two-week release date.

'Saving Christmas' set out to help Christian skeptics understand why he celebrates Christmas and all of its festivities including Santa Claus. Throughout the years some evangelical Christians have disassociated themselves with celebrating Santa, claiming that it was a diversion from the true meaning of the season, Jesus and his birth. Along with Santa, Christmas day itself and all of its festivities have received a bad rep for its close ties to pagan origins. These accusations have been happening as early as the 1600's when the puritans banned Christmas, but Cameron set out to save the day.
