SRC 141: Christmas With The Kranks (2004)


JINGLE TURDS month continues!  When your holiday comedy plays more like the hot house scene where Frosty the Snowman melts to death rather than a fun Christmas romp, you know you've more powered your way into the Restroom...

CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS deals with a suburban couple (Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis) who send their only daughter (Julie Gonzalo) off to college and decide to skip Christmas in order to take a cruise.  What follows are 99 minutes of recycled gags, stale jokes, boring characters, and a portly Dan Aykroyd as an intrusive neighbor.



This kranky Christmas mess is available for streaming on Netflix, VUDU, and YouTube, but as always, you're better off leaving this lazy, CHRISTMAS VACATION ripoff to us and actually go watch that one again instead.

Sit back now and give a listen as Griffin, Crest, & Knight flush you down the Cinematic Bowl with, CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS...
