Summary
When their only daughter Blair leaves the family nest, Luther and Nora Krank decide to book an island cruise to beat the yuletide blues and just skip the holidays. But their decision to boycott tradition has the whole neighborhood in an uproar, and when Blair calls on Christmas Eve to announce a surprise visit with her new fiancée, the Kranks have just twelve hours to perform a miracle and pull themselves and their neighbors together to throw the best celebration ever!
Reviews and Comments
19 reviewsFirst half not very good, humor didn’t really hit, but second half I liked. My favorite scene was when Luther decided to give away his cruise trip to his elderly neighbor, it was one of the only scenes that was shot really well and I liked how he stands symmetrically in the middle of the two houses, kinda gave me blade runner vibes (even if I haven’t seen it yet) Some parts of the humor I also enjoyed, like the cops wanting to pick up “N. Reekez” (Enriquez) or Tim Allen’s random physical bits, but the main issue for me about this movie is that everyone is this movie is suck a JERK and can’t even imagine people not celebrating Christmas, which is crazy. People would literally chase after them and make news segments, just because they didn’t celebrate Christmas?? I get that some movies require suspension of belief, but this movie had so many plotholes and I had to suspend A LOT of my belief. Nevertheless, it’s a feel good old Christmas movie, so it gets some points… 7/10
