Movie synopsis
The Kranks have always celebrated a picture-perfect Christmas. But with their only daughter, Blair (Julie Gonzalo), away from home on her Peace Corps assignment, Nora (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Luther (Tim Allen) are suffering from empty nest syndrome and decide to skip Christmas in favor of a Caribbean cruise. But their neighbors, led by Vic Frohmeyer (Dan Akroyd), take Christmas very seriously and are none too happy about the Kranks' boycott. In this neighborhood where every house is decorated to the hilt and has a Frosty on the roof, skipping Christmas is virtually a crime. And just as the Kranks are preparing for their Christmas Day departure, they get a call from their daughter who announces that she is coming home for Christmas after all. Suddenly, all systems are go for their annual Christmas Eve party and a normal--highly festive--holiday. Will the Kranks be able to pull together a perfect Christmas for Blair in just a few hours, or will she discover their plan to skip Christmas? Directed by Joe Roth (AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS) and based on a John Grisham novel, this film also features appearances by Cheech Marin, Caroline Rhea, and Felicity Huffman.

Fun Family Christmas Movie
Created: 07/12/08
Christmas with the Kranks is a fun, light hearted comedy about a man and his wife who decide to "skip" christmas because there only daughter won't be there for the first time. The father played by Tim Allen is totally caught up in the idea of skipping christmas and instead wants to take a cruise christmas day. The mother played by Jamie Lee Curtis is a house wife who is fine with the idea, but has a tough time skipping all the christmas traditions. The day before christmas as they are packing, they get a phone call from their daughter saying she is coming home for christmas! The rest of the movie is them trying to get everything ready for christmas like their idea of skipping it had never occurred. I love this movie because the neighborhood they live on is crazy over christmas. All the decorations in this movie are beautiful and its a good movie for the whole family!!!! Its a great addition to your christmas collection.

This movie is based on the book "Skipping Christmas" by John Grisham. In it, a couple decide that since their daughter is away at a missionary they are going to skip the whole Christmas holiday tradition and go on vacation instead. That is until, at the last minute, their daughter calls and says she's on her way home, and with her new fiance. They must now try to put together the elaborite traditions, party, etc., in less than a day on Christmas eve! Jamie Lee Curtis and Tim Allen are hilarious in this comic Christmas caper!
A great Variety of Entertainment
Created: 14/01/09
I have to say the variety of entertainment is pretty great. It has comedy, little drama with the theif, action, and even some very touching moments. It covers alot of things we all have considered or will consider regarding Christmas in our lives. Tim Allen and Jamie Curtis act pretty good together. They could have picked a better actress as the daughter in my opinion. The big names such as Dan Akroyd, Cheech and a few others made this a movie to enjoy around the holidays or anytime of the year.

Christmas with the Kranks (2005)
If I keep renting movies this bad, the fast-forward button on my remote will be worn out in no time. Kranks is one of the worst holiday movies EVER MADE!!! And that's not saying much!
If you're a Tim Allen fan or a Jamie Lee Curtis fan you might enjoy this movie, but chances are you'll find it just as unfunny and downright ridiculous as I did.
Have you seen the preview for this movie? If you have, you'll have already seen every single funny moment this movie has to offer.
On the plus side, this movie does teach you a valuable lesson about christmas, but so does How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which is a movie you can actually site through without wanting to pull out your eyeballs.
Final Verdict:
1/5
Rent or Buy: Unless you're a Tim Allen or Jamie Lee Curtis fan, or you really enjoy movies where absolutely nothing goes right, and you really need to learn a lesson about the TRUE MEANING of CHRISTMAS, steer clear. But if you're really curious as to what all the fuss is about, save yourself $15 and rent it.
