Christmas with the Kranks

Jamie Rooke argues that Christmas with the Kranks has everything you want in a Christmas film, and should be in everyone's festive rotation.

Christmas with the Kranks is one for all to enjoy. Christmas movies at their peak are ones that can be watched by any and all members of the family. Frohmeyer and co forgive the Kranks and chip in together to make sure all goes to planned. The way the Kranks deal with the adversity and get back on track makes this a fascinating watch. Tim Allen is best known for voicing Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story franchise and (when it comes to this time of year) for his titular role in The Santa Clause films too. Home Alone and Elf are a couple of the more modern ones, whereas It’s a Wonderful Life is the most classical of classics.
