Christmas with the Kranks

A must watch during the Christmas season

Am I the only one who noticed that this was a remake of the Dr. Seuss classic? Theres at least one scene lifted directly from the childrens book. This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas stories. I love the tension between wanting to celebrate Christmas (or not) your own way versus wanting to give joy to others. Krank (the Grinch, get it?) wants to avoid the stress and nonsense of Christmas and goes overboard, trying to reject the whole holiday.

Gets boring

Better than I expected and the quality on Blu Ray disc was very good. My sister urged me to watch this one from the 90s that I had never seen. My family and I were pleasantly surprised by this good natured Tim Allen Christmas flik that never tries to rip off The Santa Clause.

This Christmas movie is one of my favorites. Great cast and story.

Very funny lighthearted

My family and I always enjoy movies weve never seen before, especially around the holidays. This one is fun and silly, but the premise is also rather ridiculous and I ended up disappointed in it.

Christmas with the Kranks was a chuckle from beginning to end. Almost everyone has wanted to skip Christmas, has hidden in the house from Christmas Carolers and felt the pressure of neighbors to keep up with the Jones with Christmas decorations. All I had to do was LOOK at Jamie Lee Curtis and the frumpy hair and Christmas Vest and I had to laugh. While Tim Allen was hysterical as the husband preparing for Carribbean Cruise by getting botox injections. I watched the movie 3 times and everytime I belly laughed at Tim Allen trying to eat in a restuarant with his face frozen by the botox. Jamie Lee was perfect as the suburban housewife, hiding in her home one day from the neighbors demanding that Jamie give them the huge 15 foot snowman in their basement, so that they may decorate the Kranks roof with it - like every year. Anyone who appreciates Jamie Lee, frumping down into a great performance, espeically as she fights a shopper for the last Honey Ham in the grocery store, will chuckle at this movie, and laugh out loud in some places. There is sentiment too. I totally enjoyed Christmas with the Kranks and will be sure to bring the movie out every December for pleasant Christmas viewing.

This is really a fun movie. It is just as cute as it can be Ive watched it several times and now watch it every Christmas. We watched it as a group with some friends from our church and we just laughed and laughed at is so funny.

A Christmas classic that my whole family loves
