Plot: Based on John Grisham's novel {-Skipping Christmas}, Christmas With the Kranks revolves around Nora (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Luther Krank's (Tim Allen) decision to put their normally fanatical enthusiasm for the holidays aside for a tropical cruise. With their daughter in Peru with the Peace Corps, the Kranks believe it just isn't worth it; thus, no presents, Christmas trees, or decorations of any kind will adorn their house to the great consternation of their neighbor Vic (Dan Aykroyd). Just as it looks like Christmas will be successfully skipped, Blair (Julie Gonzalo) throws a major kink into her plans when she suddenly has a change of heart and announces she'll be coming home for Christmas after all. The film ran into troubles early on in production when Ben Affleck's similar sounding bomb Surviving Christmas won the race to the theaters, forcing the filmmakers to depart from the book title in favor of the catchy Kranks one. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

I had bought this video wore it out and had to buy another one. Family and friends loved it also. Just good, clean hilarious Christmas humor. And of course Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis are just perfect together.

Typical holiday flick-too over the top
Added 12/11/2008

Of course this genre is meant to inflect the sometimes "hustle and bustle" holiday season with laughter and humor, but this flick was a bit irritating.The premise was funny enough-a couple trying to spice things up, in the face of their daughter's absence during a trip to another country. But the film is monotonous and the script a bit campy.

All actors do a fine job with the material given, but aside from the scene where the cruise tickets are given to the elderly couple across the street, the film lacks the genuine sentiments of other holiday films (such as "The Holday" and others). This does not have a hgh rewatchability factor for me, and I typically like holiday films. Give it a "rent" if you like the type.
