Christmas with the Kranks

Funny move.

Enjoyed by all ages.

I read John Grishams book Skipping Christmas a few years ago, about other peoples expectations of us at the holidays and what happens we someone dares to say, Im opting out this year! When this movie came out, it was not entirely what I expected and seemed a bit cheesy at first, but it has really grown on me over the seasons. A great cast including Dan Akroyd, Tom Poston and Cheech Marin make the movie work well. I love the scene with Jamie Leigh trying to get the last holiday ham! She is so great at physical comedy. As a mom whose youngest son lives out of the country, I would do the same in a heartbeat if he showed up for Christmas.

A Christmas favorite. The harsh reviews....really? It is fantasy and fun based off a fictional book. Lighten up. This movie has a ton of humor and extremely Christmasee to satisfy that longing we sometimes cant find. With the snow, the lights, the family plans, etc. Although the entire kid and letting the crook out of the cop car and robbery scenes were odd and didnt really fit in the movie. I love Tim Allen he is a part of our Christmas tradition in this movie as well as the Santa Claus series. Hes just truly a funny, great actor. Jamie Lee awesome in this as well! The tanning scenes are off the charts and can not believe she did that scene I am cracking up just thinking about it! Sit back with a spiked egg nog and enjoy! Merry Christmas!!

Love EVERYTHING about this movie!

A good Christmas movie and one the whole family can enjoy.

Good cast but movie not as good as expected

pleased overall, just as good as i remembered and some of my girlfriends family including her had never seen it. made for a good time with a feel good ending.

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

Such a great movie it brings in the spirit of christmas in a funny way its not omg hilarious but its definitely entertaining as a family movie you will definitely watch it more than once
