DVD Synopsis

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

One of my favorite Holiday movies. We are practically empty nesters and would love to go away instead of spending the holidays with a bunch of crazy relatives. I can really relate to this movie and love to watch over and over again.

I really enjoyed this movie. I've read the book, and thought the movie went along good with it. Really funny at times. Good watch for someone who enjoys a Christmas story with some humor in it.
