Synopsis:
When their only daughter Blair leaves the family nest, Luther and Nora Krank (TIM ALLEN and JAMIE LEE CURTIS) decide to book an island cruise to beat the yuletide blues and just skip the holidays. But their decision to boycott tradition has the whole neighborhood in an uproar, and when Blair calls on Christmas Eve to announce a surprise visit with her new fiancÉe, the Kranks have just twelve hours to perform a miracle and pull themselves and their neighbors together to throw the best celebration ever! With fast-paced energy and support from DAN AYKROYD, CHEECH MARIN, JAKE BUSEY and M. EMMET WALSH, this hilarious adaptation of John Grisham's best-selling novel, "Skipping Christmas" has become "an instant family classic!" (Gorman Woodfin, CBN)

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Critics are positively cranky about Christmas with the Kranks. Certainly most of them don't seem the least amused by the Joe Roth-directed comedy, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Tim Allen. Jami Bernard in the New York Daily News calls it ?a so-called comedy stuffed with bigotry, intolerance and bullying.? Lou Lumenick in the New York Post damns it as ?loud, course and witless.? Stephen Hunter in the Washington Post writes that it offers ?a leaden whimsy so heavy it threatens to crash through the multiplex floor.? Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times describes it as ?a holiday movie of stunning awfulness.? And Philip Wuntch in the Dallas Morning News predicts that ?post-holiday depression may come early this year for those who see Christmas With the Kranks.?
