Our foray into festive film fun continues tonight with;
Christmas With The Kranks
Based on the novel Skipping Christmas by John Grisham, Christmas With The Kranks follows Luther and Nora Krank (Tim Allen and the lovely Jamie Lee Curtis) as they have their first Christmas without their daughter Blair (Julie Gonzalo), as she is off to Peru to work with the Peace Corp.
After calculating the cost of the previous Christmas, Luther hatches a plan to jet off to the Caribbean for a 10 day cruise with Nora. However, to do so they need to skip Christmas, so no Christmas tree, no Christmas Eve party, no Frosty the Snowman on the roof, no decorations etc.
The neighbours are furious with the Kranks, as they normally all get together to decorate the neighbourhood. However, the Kranks are adamant and will be off on their cruise from Christmas Day.
Unfortunately, on Christmas Eve, Blair calls and says she's coming home for Christmas and she is bringing her boyfriend!
So, form skipping Christmas, Christmas at the Kranks is back on! And they need to get everything back to normal before Blair gets home!
Christmas With The Kranks is a great festive film, with all the ingredients to make it perfect family viewing. It has laughs a-plenty and it has a couple of touching moments to ensure that the spirit of Christmas shines through.
We'll never tire of watching this film.
