Review of Christmas with the Kranks (2004) by Dominique M — 25 Dec 2008
A talented cast is wasted on this. Some jokes gave me a giggle, but nothing more. In fact, most of the jokes are pointless (Botox?). The premise is great, but it's ruined by the annoying neighbors who won't let the Christmas-skipping idea go. I'd skip Christmas forever if I was forced to celebrate it with them. And along with every Christmas, comes the predictable jokes that rip-off Christmas Vacation. I am so sick of people falling off roofs.
The third act takes way too long. I don't care if it would be 74 minutes, but that could've had at least 20 minutes taken off.
Blegh...
