Christmas with the Kranks

Overacting on Jamie Curtis part as a mother of grown daughter away from home. Tim Allen plays the father & wants to go forego Xmas & go to the Caribbean since their daughter isnt coming home for the holidays.

We watched this every year during Christmas in my house. Great family movie.

Love EVERYTHING about this movie!

Great movie, it’s a family tradition to watch it every holiday season. Still funny after all these years!

This movie is such a classic and brought back so much memories as a kid!

This is the most ICONIC movie commemorating the Birth of Our Lord of this century

This movie has been around for ablong tine but we just got around to watching it. Lots of laughs. Thanks to Amazon for the Audio Descriptive Track too so that some here could enjoy the movie as well.

I read John Grishams book Skipping Christmas a few years ago, about other peoples expectations of us at the holidays and what happens we someone dares to say, Im opting out this year! When this movie came out, it was not entirely what I expected and seemed a bit cheesy at first, but it has really grown on me over the seasons. A great cast including Dan Akroyd, Tom Poston and Cheech Marin make the movie work well. I love the scene with Jamie Leigh trying to get the last holiday ham! She is so great at physical comedy. As a mom whose youngest son lives out of the country, I would do the same in a heartbeat if he showed up for Christmas.

Not going to spoil it for anyone... Great cast

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.
