Christmas with the Kranks

Such a cute silly movie! My husband and I love it.

Love EVERYTHING about this movie!

Every Saturday we do family movie night. Each December we pick different Christmas movies that we haven’t watched yet. Kids are 10 and 14. We chose this one on Amazon prime this year, and it was quite boring for all. Some laughs at silly parts by my 10 year old(when someone fell on snow) but wouldn’t ever choose to watch again. Surprised to see it was made in 2004. Felt more like a 90’s movie.

Great Product

We love this Christmas flick and consider it one of the very best holiday efforts. You do not have a Christmas Film collection if you dont have this in your collection! Perfectly done and full of laughs. We watch it every time Christmas rolls around.

The bluray is much clearer picture and perfect sound. But they forgot to add the special features which I hate. No bloopers nothing but the trailers of the movie. Movie came in on time and had no delivery issues. Overall one of my favorite Christmas films.

Love love love this movie. Super cheap price! And worth more than I spent it’s hilarious every time I watch it

This movie is such a classic and brought back so much memories as a kid!

OK, this isnt the most profound Christmas movie ever made--we all know what that is already. Nothing will ever touch Its a Wonderful Life as far as great Christmas movies go--very few movies on any subject are that great. But nonetheless, Christmas with the Kranks is a fun movie that demands little in the way of emotional or intellectual devotion--its just a sweet innocent family movie that was designed to make you feel good and hopefully make you laugh a few times and this movie does its job extremely well. I first saw this film on TV and, because I didnt see it from the start, I ordered it online and, by sheer coincidence, it was the first movie I watched on my new TV. I think that both Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis are underrated comedic actors and they both play very likable characters in this film. Yes, of course, the story is contrived and silly and the screenplay has logic gaps that you could drive a Christmas-tree truck through, but its still a fun film that everyone in the family can watch. And there are a few tender moments that are pretty well done. One of the things that I love is the aerial footage of the neighborhood (probably just a model or done with CGI) with all the Christmas lights lit--some extremely pretty photography. The neighborhood in the film is a very idealized vision of suburbia, but thats OK--nothing wrong with playing to peoples fantasies of what life should be. Anyway, not a ground-breaking film by any means, but an extremely pleasant way to sip a cup of tea, eat a few Christmas cookies and enjoy some stress-free Christmas moments. I watched the movie after Christmas because, as much as I love Christmas movies, Ive pretty much grown to loathe what has become of the holiday itself. The frustrating thing for me in watching films like this is wondering: How close was this to being a great film if they had only hired better writers to punch up the script--or perhaps if they had left the original script alone? Im going to read Grishams book and see.

A classic Christmas movie.
