Christmas With the Kranks

Merry Krankmas! On paper, this seems like a sure-shot Y2K Christmas film, starring Tim Allen—the face of Santa Claus at the time—with involvement from Chris Columbus, of “Home Alone” fame. However, the end product is a fever-dream combination of Looney Tunes gags and sitcom plot points, but it has still become a contemporary Christmas classic for a generation that now watches it annually “ironically”. It doesn’t matter that few of the planned jokes land; it still delivers plenty of laughs due to its ridiculous premises. Tim Allen is in his bag playing a character almost as despicable as himself, while Jamie Lee Curtis’ cartoonish acting is very entertaining. It was panned by critics upon release, but so was “It’s a Wonderful Life”—and that film doesn’t have any comedic bits involving a Hickory Honey Ham!

**Christmas with the Kranks** Finally got around to watching *Christmas with the Kranks*, and honestly, I had a blast. With an incredible cast featuring Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Aykroyd (who I always love), it’s hard not to enjoy. Plus, with Chris Columbus behind the script, you know it’s going to be at least decent, and it definitely delivers on the fun. Sure, the plot is silly, goofy, and absolutely unrealistic—skipping Christmas? Feuding with neighbors over decorations?—but that’s the charm. It’s hilarious at times and kept me smiling throughout. I’ll admit, I wasn’t as into the second storyline about the daughter coming home. The first half, with the Kranks rebelling against Christmas traditions, was way more entertaining. Still, it’s an enjoyable movie, and I totally get why it’s considered a holiday classic. Perfect if you’re in the mood for some lighthearted laughs and festive chaos. 3.5 stars!

Christmas With the Kranks contains no laughs or humor.

I love Christmas movies and I watch this one almost every Christmas. But, it's really stupid. Tim Allen's eating scene after his face Botox treatment is cringe worthy. The entire movie is cringe worthy. So why do I still watch this moronic holiday movie every year? I don't know.

It was nice. Just a good, simple, Christmas movie to sit down with your family and enjoy.

A-list stars in an F list movie. A complete town hell bent on guilt tripping a couple who are looking to skip Christmas. Heaven forbid someone doesn't celebrate Christmas or spend money on trees and other stuff.

I remember seeing in threatres, and I didn't find it funny then and I still don't. Where's the comedy?

- So the whole community hates them cause they aren’t celebrating Christmas?? They must really hate Jewish people lol. I hate that the moral of the story was that they are the bad guys for trying to go on a cruise and not wanting to cater to everyone else’s wants — yeah Luther took it a bit far and became kind of mean but them wanting something for themselves doesn’t make them evil and selfish people.. especially since they apparently go above and beyond every Christmas; donating to charities, giving gifts to everyone… but they want one year to themselves and that makes them grinches… sweet story tho besides that

No es mi favorita pero la actuación de Tim Allen es buena
