Tallied as of 11:30 EST on Nov 24 from http://videogum.com/249511/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time-holiday-movie-nominees/franchises/the-hunt-for-the-worst-movie-of-all-time

 Gabe stated: Whichever nominees get the most “support” in this comment thread (and only this comment thread) will be the movies that are selected, so if you see something say something.

An asterisk means that Netflix lists this as a “family movie,” so I’m not sure if it runs afoul of the no children’s movie rule or not. In parentheses I list the maximum number of upvotes the film nominated received. I then counted the comments in support and the comments in protestation.

Figuring out the four “winners” is tricky—do you give more weight to vocal support in the comments or to high upvotes? Judging from Gabe’s statement I favored comments more than upvotes. As I see it, the four “winners” are:

Four Christmases (+44) 14 for 

Christmas with the Kranks (+60) 13 for

*Jingle All The Way (+56) 13 for 3 against

Love Actually (+20) 15 for, 6 against
