Christmas with the Kranks

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

I have been trying for a few years to find this movie, but could not find it. thanks

Fun to watch

I have seen more funny movies, but this was pretty good. Happy we watched it.

Its a little odd, and perhaps jarring, to see the actors noted for edgy work do what amounts to a family oriented christmas film. Laurie noted for running from Jason and stripping in trading places, Cheech and his sendup and aggrandizement of drug culture, and Tim whose professional life is distinctly different from his on-screen performances. But what do I think of the movie? Its a bit pat and slightly over the top in a saccharine sort of way. This is definitely make female audience feel good territory by emphasizing the relationships between the neighbors in this film, and how a community fractures and bonds with the intents, adventures and misadventures of the Kranks. And on that note Im tempted to give it two-stars because I just didnt find it all that entertaining. Interesting in the sense that I didnt know they still made films like this, and even more interesting in that it utilizes actors known for some work that is far from family friendly, The script is fairly innocent to the point of being naive in the extreme to create a kind of friendly and adversarial environment without much in the way of common sense. And to me that separates it from christmas films of decades past in that it really placates to the target audience, and doesnt really give an inch for any kind of other humor than allegedly innocent or borderline racy without being risque gags. In a sense corporate Hollywood has (or had) gone back to old fashioned films, but for me, its day late, dollar short, and really just odd beyond belief that it was cast the way it was. That, and the story, to be honest, really isnt that good. Theres a lot of reliance on what will people think as the premise for nearly all fo the humor in this thing. Its light entertainment, but again, unlike other seasonal films of generations past theres little satisfaction after watching this thing.

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.

This is a classic must see! So funny!

OK its not like the best movie of all time, thats pretty clear, but Christmas movies are supposed to be light-hearted and fun and thats exactly what this movie is. I find it entertaining every holiday to spend a good time with the family.. its on the top of my list of Christmas classics to watch every year

I bought this film so that I don’t have to look for it online and pay every time I want to watch it, now we can see it every Christmas and not have to look for it online!

I enjoy watching 7 christmas movies every year. This is one of them. It is not my most favorite, but did not seem like christmas without it.
