Christmas with the Kranks

An alternative to mushy holiday movies and it still captures the important elements of the holiday- family, friends, faith, helping, giving and rejoicing. It does all this with laughter.

Love this movie! Good family holiday movie. Highly recommend

This movie is okay for background noise while you bake sugar cookies and decorate for Christmas. The Kranks street was beautiful at the end when it was snowing and all the houses were properly lit and decorated (which is the theme of the movie.) Very lightweight and totally predictable from the beginning. Mr. Krank is a type of modern day Scrooge or Grinch who transforms from old curmudgeon to compassionate and thoughtful neighbor, but to me there was no real impetus for him to do so. Everyone gathered round with happy holiday songs, as is typical of many Christmas tales, and each person put aside their own prejudices to make Christmas happen. But people dont change that easily. I had the feeling he was back at work griping at his secretaries the next day. The magic of Christmas. I paid $1.99 to rent it, but it was hardly worth the money. I say to krank up some nice Christmas music instead, if you want to set the mood.

One of my favorite Christmas movies

I saw this movie on tv this past holiday and I enjoyed it so I figured I would add it to my collection. Good acting, and a little bit of a different plot than most Christmas movies, so it is a nice change of pace. The ending though is somewhat strange and awkward, but I wont give it away for those who havent seen the movie. Basically when the Kranks daughter says she isnt going to be there for Christmas, they decide to go on a cruise and essentially boycott Christmas. This causes problems within their neighborhood which is full of Christmas tradition and Cheer. But once their daughter surprises them with a phone call that she and her fiance will actually make it for Christmas, they need to abort their plans and try to throw together a Christmas atmosphere. An entertaining movie.

Not going to spoil it for anyone... Great cast

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.

One of my favorite Christmas movies despite what critics say. Waited and hoped it would be on blue ray for a long time. So very happy.

Better than I expected and the quality on Blu Ray disc was very good. My sister urged me to watch this one from the 90s that I had never seen. My family and I were pleasantly surprised by this good natured Tim Allen Christmas flik that never tries to rip off The Santa Clause.

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