We all know that Christmas is far too commercial. I mean, Charlie Brown told us that years ago. Yet most of us continue to play the same put-that-reindeer-on-my-credit-card games every year, spending money on gifts that our loved ones don't really want or need. This 2007 documentary follows one man -- Bill Talen, aka the Reverend Billy -- who takes the members of his "Church of Stop Shopping" on the road during the holiday season in an effort to make us knock it off. Talen's tactics may be a little loony, but the issues he and this film raise about our overconsuming culture -- especially in light of the recession -- are more relevant than ever.
