4.0 out of 5 stars
Funny movie, but sends a bad message,
By
This review is from: Are We There Yet? / Christmas with the Kranks Pack (DVD)
Gotta love a movie with Tim Allen and Dan Akroyd. Christmas With the Kranks stands out in a crowded sea of Christmas movies. Tim Allen tries to boycott Christmas. However, his neighbors and friends, led by Dan Akroyd, succeed in stopping him. Along the way, Tim Allen and his wife suffer from hilarious antics.
As much as I like the movie, I gave it a slightly lower rating because I think it sends the wrong message to people. It essentially advocates giving into the commercialism of the "Christmas-industrial complex." Everybody shuns Tim Allen because he wants to take a vacation rather than host a Christmas party for his neighbors and decorate his house. Tim Allen never did anything truly Grinch-like - he just wanted a vacation for himself and wife. The morale of Christmas With the Kranks seems to to be buy a lot of Christmas paraphernalia and give into peer pressure. If you can get around that, you can appreciate the humor in Christmas With the Kranks. |
