This movie, while not amazing, is funny. I like Tim Allen, and he does a good job of skipping Christmas. I thought that this film was okay.

What Parents Need to Know
About Christmas with the Kranks
Parents need to know that the movie has some mild sexual references (Nora thinks Luther wants to have sex and starts taking off her sweater and gulps down some wine, saying, "But it isn't Saturday!"). Characters drink wine and beer on social occasions and some reach for alcohol to deal with stress. There is a lot of comic violence and mayhem, with many falls, bashes on the head, and electrocutions that are intended to be funny. A character receives bad news about the recurrence of cancer.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what is important about Christmas or other holidays and which traditions have the most meaning to them. They could also talk about peer pressure and how to know when to listen to the community and when to stick with your own judgment about what is right.

I did not agree with the review of this movie at all. My whole family and I LOVED this movie. I have 2 nephews, age 5 & 12, who want to watch it again and again. It one movie that we all can sit down and enjoy together, not too kiddy, not to girly, not to masculine, not too adult either.

Read the Book
I was so looking forward to this movie. I love Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and the book was so funny. The movie, even with the great cast, was a disappointment. It really missed the depth of characters and didn't build the conflict with the neighbors nearly as well. Rent it if you must, but the time would be better spent with the book.

Very funny!
You can't beat Tim Allen! You just can't! If you like "Home Improvement" you'll probably like this movie.
