Okay this is a worthwhile movie to watch during Christmas. I know many people have one movie they will watch during Christmas time and don't really want to branch out. This movie is worth branching out for.
It starts out with the Kranks dropping their daughter, Clare, off at the airport. She's in the peace corp and going off for Christmas. Well this just leads Luther Krank (Tim Allen) to devise a Christmas plan unlike anything he or his wife, Nora, would have thought of before.... Skipping Christmas and going on a cruise.
Well this is different for the Kranks, they typically are all about Christmas, spending thousands of dollars every year on Christmas alone. It takes a little convincing for Nora to go along with it, and throughout it she seems a little weary of the situation.
Throughout their ditching Christmas scheme, the neighbors are highly disapproving of the Kranks skipping Christmas. It starts with the skipping of Christmas cards, not buying a Christmas tree, not putting up Frosty and other Christmas decorations. This doesn't exactly work for a neighborhood that does Christmas together.
The neighbors can tell something is different and when they find out they are ditching Christmas for a cruise, the neighbors almost harass the Kranks to participate in Christmas.
When it is Christmas Eve, the Kranks are getting the last arrangements together before they go on the cruise when they get a call... it's from Clare, she's coming home and she's bringing her boyfriend. That means that the Kranks have like 12 hours to get Christmas back on schedule. Have you ever tried to get everything you need for Christmas, on Christmas Eve? The store is usally empty, the trees are the crappy ones that cost a ton, the decorations take weeks to get together.
Thanks to the neighbors, the Kranks are able to barely scrap together a great Christmas to impress their daughter's boyfriend. Now there is the problem with two cruise tickets, and no longer being able to go. Luther decides to give it to the neighbors, whose wife is dying of cancer.
So they all end up going from no Christmas to one of the best christmas celebrations they could have ever had.
