Slapstick humor gets a full-body workout in Christmas with the Kranks. Critics were unanimous in their derision, and John Grisham must have gnashed his teeth over what studio-boss-turned-director Joe Roth did to his bestselling novel Skipping Christmas, to which this broad-stroked comedy bears little or no resemblance. The title characters are played by Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis, who decide to skip Christmas because their daughter's in Peru with the Peace Corps. Thus begins a rabid program of enforced conformity when their neighbors (led by Dan Aykroyd) coerce the Kranks into changing their holiday attitude--a change that comes easily when the daughter announces she'll be home for Christmas after all. Imagine if a suburban lynch mob said "Have a Merry Christmas or we'll kill you," and you'll get some idea of what spending Christmas with the Kranks is really like. And if you laughed at the frozen cat, you're probably on Santa's "naughty" list. --Jeff Shannon

a very funny.......2007-06-30

dis-functional family christmas movie that y9u can relate too. Huffman is at her frumpy best, but next to la jamie, who wouldnt be?? Rent it for some laugh out loud moments!!!

Christmas movie - Excellent - Christmas with the Kranks.......2007-06-29

I was amazed at the humor in this movie. Awesome movie for Christmas season with lots of laughs for years to come.

Christmas with the "Stanks".......2007-06-16

Boy was this a waste of money! I found myself talking over this movie either making fun of it or telling the characters to get a life. Why in the world is it selfish for a person to want to take a vacation for Christmas? The Kranks neighbors are annoying busy bodies especially Dan Ackroyds character. I like Tim Allen's Santa movies so I thought this might be good,Wrong. The only thing worth a star was Allen's character giving up his vacation for a struggling neighbor.

Kristmas With the Chranks.......2007-02-27

What's with the review from December 29, 2006? Is this guy a newspaper reporter? Is this the style of reviewing movies now, the newspaper headline format?

Ok, I'll try one: "Loose lips sink ships"

No, wait: "Jamie Lee Curtis' best since Halloween"

Hmmm....nahhh. How 'bout: "Snow is fun. Eat cookies during Christmas"

Perfect!

Christmas with the Kranks.......2007-01-19

The movie itself is fine, however inside the box that contains the DVD it is broke and doesn't hold the movie in place. Which means the movie was bounced around during shipping. I haven't watched the whole thing but it doesn't appear to be damaged.

Description

ARE WE THERE YET?: When Nick (Ice Cube, Barbershop) falls for single mother Suzanne (Nia Long, Big Momma's House), he initially doesn't have to worry about what her kids think of him because she just wants to "be friends." Undeterred by this statement- or his buddies, who dog him for loitering in the stalking-friend zone- Nick keeps hanging around. So when Suzanne finds herself in a jam and needs someone to escort her kids to meet her in Vancouver for New Year's Eve, Nick gladly opens the door for opportunity. It could be the best way to win her heart or the biggest mistake of his life. With more that one destination on his mind, Nick embarks on a road trip he'll never forget- and neither will you!
