Christmas with the Kranks

Enjoyed by all ages.

Funny holiday story - obviously a comedy - I am a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis... Im ok with Tim Allen - together they are funny. Story goes that adult daughter is leaving for the peace corps and wont be home for Christmas - Mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) loves the celebration of Christmas and is sad that her only child wont be home. They live in a tight knit nosey neighborhood. Tim Allen gets the idea they could skip Christmas and take a sunny warm cruise instead. Neighbors are unhappy the Kranks are skipping Christmas and then the daughter announces she will be coming home for Christmas after all with a fiance to boot. Lightweight story but sometimes you want something new at the holidays. We usually fit this one in. We purchase the streaming version so we dont have to store the DVD.

I finally watched this movie which has been maligned for years. But, I found it to be a heartfelt, quirky and love-able Christmas movie with a message. Tim Allen plays a man who convinces his wife, wonderfully played by Jamie Lee Curtis to skip and ignore Christmas in lieu of his dream Caribbean vacation. Well, life disrupts his plans when their daughter decides to surprise then with her fiancée for Christmas. The movie starts with the Kranks pissing off everybody form their neighbors, the police, the tree salesman, etc with their message of no Christmas décor, tree, party or celebration. The latter half sees those same people come together to help the Kranks slap together a home Christmas for their daughter who is beloved. Dan Ackroyd, Cheech Marin, and M. Emmett Walsh have solid supporting roles

Funny move.

Was fitting for my taste and I enjoyed the movie. My kind of humor.

I bought it .when my dad was still here because he loved it .

Great movie, it’s a family tradition to watch it every holiday season. Still funny after all these years!
