Christmas With the Kranks Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Joe Roth
Genres: Comedy
Rating:

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.
