Sweet Jesus, this movie is the pits.
I trust anybody who caught the film tonight at the national sneak felt the same way?
Wow. Just appaling. If Joe Roth didn't fund his own directorial choices, nobody else would.
If you hate the holidays and laughs, this movie is for you.

Well, every advance screening my theatre's had has sold out. I doubt this will flop. It does look terrible in my opinion, but what else are families going to go see this Thanksgiving? Alexander? No.

The Polar Express? No?
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie? No?
National Treasure? No?
Seed of Chucky? No?
I wish Chris Columbus (the film's screenwriter) would stay the fuck out of the motion picture industry. Seriously, outside of the Home Alone flicks and Adventures In Babysitting; he's done nothing that great and I still wonder who he blew to get the first two Harry Potter jobs.

I don't think I need to see the movie, they show the whole thing in the previews, right down to the ending.

Well, I'm gonna blow the curve, and say that I really liked it... *goes for cover*
Also, what's with the increase in screenings for movies? This one had THREE screenings in my town... the one I ran was at capacity, and we turned away about 40 people.

"The movie is not funny, ever, in any way, beginning to end. It's a colossal miscalculation."

review
"With every holiday season, there must be a lump of coal. 'Christmas with the Kranks' is that lump of coal. No, scratch that. Describing the film as coal is doing injustice to our overworked energy-giving friend. 'Kranks' is more like eggnog spiked with Drano, presented in a way in which all the joy is sucked out of the season, leaving depression in its wake, in place of holiday spice."

The previews look like the film is just a mess and the reviews reflect that.
Poor Jamie Lee.
if you want a Christmas movie with an edge, go rent "The Ref".

Saw it to indulge the parents (just Mom, actually). Contrived to say the least. A few laughable parts, but nothing original in them whatsoever. I wanted to see Alexander, but my parents can't stand Oliver Stone and we didn't really have three hours to kill.
Avoid this if you can.
