Christmas with the Kranks
In order to break that routine, Luther and Nora Crank plan to go on a journey that is quite different from the routine of Christmas. They are both on a cruise in the Caribbean, where their obsessed Christmas neighbors Vic Frumayer and Walt Schill are always trying to win the best annual decorative street competition. The situation changes when Crank and his family find themselves socially ostracized because of the lack of Christmas spirit.

A more sweet than sour satire that sets its sight on nasty but lavishly honey coated underpinnings of the holiday season.

Stinks like the unrefrigerated ham its studio sent me as a promotion several months ago.

Purports to kindle the warm glow of love for humankind in our hearts but actually reaffirms that the trappings of the holiday season are all that really matter.

Some pathetically predictable plot twists and syrupy sentimentality, which could only amuse a five year-old, lead the Kranks back to their materialistic senses in time for a Kodak moment which shouts a rather shallow Merry Capitalism to all!

A grueling experience.

Christmas With The Kranks is the sort of film that leaves you thinking Ebenezer Scrooge might have had the right idea about the festive season.

This isn't a wonderful life: It looks pretty hellish.

The notion of bullying people into succumbing into the trappings of Christmas does not necessarily represent goodwill to all, and while the situations present good comic opportunities, the film ends up feeling rather manipulative and sugary.

I'm making my list of the worst movies of the year and I'm checking it twice, and I hope to find room for this frantically unfunny disaster.

Hollywood's version of the annual Hallmark Ho-ho-ho card. It's made to order: just slot in the perennial Mr. Santa Claus himself, Tim Allen, and stir.

In any normal year this dire comedy would be the undisputed lump of coal in our psychic stocking, but coming on the heels of Surviving Christmas, it's a close second.

Unoriginal, unfunny slapstick holiday fare.
