Christmas with the Kranks

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.

A classic Christmas movie.

Loved the story line, loved the line-up of stars! It was funny and clean cut to watch. One of those movies you want to see every Christmas Season.

DVD Comes in standard plastic DVD case. There are no special features on this version. Quick Synopsis For the first time, Luther (Tim Allen) and Nora’s (Jamie Lee Curtis) daughter, Blair (Julie Gonzalo) was not going to be spending Christmas with the family. Luther decides to book an expensive cruise for Christmas; the only catch was he and his wife had to commit to a total boycott of the holiday season. This really disturbed the seemingly Christmas obsessed community and some neighbors took it a lot harder than others. After nearly making through the holiday, of course Blair calls on Christmas eve and decides to surprise her parents by flying in. Will the Kranks be able to pull off a miracle Christmas for Blair? Will the neighbors forgive the Kranks for their lack of holiday enthusiasm? I guess you’ll have to watch and see = ) Opinion I think this is one of those movies where a lot of people don’t appreciate it the first time they watch it. I know I didn’t love this movie when I first seen it. I happened to catch it on TV the following year and I couldn’t change the channel. I have watched this movie several times now and I grow fonder of it every time. Yes, it’s a goofy / silly / and over-the-top Christmas movie but it’s also cleaver and meaningful at its core. Jamie Lee Curtis and Tim Allen are the perfect duo and they really make this movie shine. Also, I am not a big Dan Aykroyd fan but I loved him in this movie. Thanks for reading my review. I hope this is helpful to you.

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.

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.

Dislike—none. Like the whole idea. Except for celebrating the Holy Birth of Jesus, the rest of Christmas is overdone. What has Frosty the Snowman have to do with the birth of Christ? Or Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. Or the whole Santa concept, which has become so socially commercialized? Or fruit cake? Etc, Etc. I love giving, giving from the heart and I loathe how children especially are not taught the real reason for Christmas. At times, like the Kranks, I would totally love to ignore the commercialism and one ups-manship housing decorations and who gets to go to whose party. But this movie is totally humorous depiction of the craziness that many people to, to celebrate of holiday.

Overacting on Jamie Curtis part as a mother of grown daughter away from home. Tim Allen plays the father & wants to go forego Xmas & go to the Caribbean since their daughter isnt coming home for the holidays.

Funny christmas family movie for all ages

This movie we watched it with my family every year I had to have it on my collection.
