Review For Movie Christmas with the Kranks
In any normal year this dire comedy would be the undisputed lump of coal in our psychic stocking, but coming on the heels of Surviving Christmas, it's a close second.J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
I'm making my list of the worst movies of the year and I'm checking it twice, and I hope to find room for this frantically unfunny disaster.
Richard Roeper-Ebert & Roeper
Hollywood's version of the annual Hallmark Ho-ho-ho card. It's made to order: just slot in the perennial Mr. Santa Claus himself, Tim Allen, and stir.
Susan Walker-Toronto Star
Purports to kindle the warm glow of love for humankind in our hearts but actually reaffirms that the trappings of the holiday season are all that really matter.
Stephanie Zacharek-Salon.com
Stinks like the unrefrigerated ham its studio sent me as a promotion several months ago.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
A leaden whimsy so heavy it threatens to crash through the multiplex floor.
Stephen Hunter-Washington Post
Unoriginal, unfunny slapstick holiday fare.
Nell Minow-Common Sense Media
Christmas With The Kranks is the sort of film that leaves you thinking Ebenezer Scrooge might have had the right idea about the festive season.
Richard Luck-Film4
A grueling experience.
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
The notion of bullying people into succumbing into the trappings of Christmas does not necessarily represent goodwill to all, and while the situations present good comic opportunities, the film ends up feeling rather manipulative and sugary.
Urban Cinefile Critics-Urban Cinefile
Some pathetically predictable plot twists and syrupy sentimentality, which could only amuse a five year-old, lead the Kranks back to their materialistic senses in time for a Kodak moment which shouts a rather shallow Merry Capitalism to all!
Kam Williams-Ellsworth American
A more sweet than sour satire that sets its sight on nasty but lavishly honey coated underpinnings of the holiday season.
Prairie Miller-WBAI Web Radio
There is not a single lifelike character in the entire picture.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
[A] comedy so broad it barely dents its targets and a patronising moral conclusion that goes against everything its protagonists originally stood for.
Anna Smith-Empire Magazine
Tries to plug into honest emotions, but only comes across as being as plastic as those giant outdoor snowmen.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis
This isn't a wonderful life: It looks pretty hellish.
Keith Phipps-AV Club
It is a perfectly fine, inoffensive family comedy.
Fred Topel-MovieWeb
What better way is there to get into a festive spirit than having it crammed down your throat?
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
...almost had me convinced to convert to Judaism to avoid having to go through anything ever again that even remotely resembles this movie.
Brian Juergens-Freeze Dried Movies
Rotten Eggnog
Tony Toscano-Talking Pictures (U.S.)
Humbug. American families deserve a better effort than this.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Oh boy. This was a painful experience. Very painful.
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel-3BlackChicks Review
