Christmas with the Kranks
Christmas with the Kranks is a 2004 comedy film produced by Revolution Studios
and Columbia Pictures. It is based on the 2001 novella Skipping Christmas by
John Grisham. It stars Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dan Aykroyd, M. Emmet Walsh,
Elizabeth Franz, Erik Per Sullivan, Cheech Marin, Jake Busey, Caroline Rhea, and
Felicity Huffman.
Tagline: No! Ho! Ho!
Plot
The movie opens as we see Luther (Tim Allen) and Nora Krank (Jamie Lee Curtis)
lying in bed, a little depressed about the day ahead of them. Their daughter
Blair (Julie Gonzalo) has joined the Peace Corps and is heading off to Peru.
They have a long goodbye at the airport and now the Kranks are left alone,
during the holiday season.
The Kranks always host their neighborhood's Christmas Eve party, always
purchasing top of the line Christmas cards and invitations. Their neighborhood,
led by Vic Frohmeyer (Dan Aykroyd) always wins the local newspaper award for
best Christmas decorations. The advantage their neighborhood has is that all the
houses feature a Frosty snowman on their roofs. Luther starts adding up the cost
of the previous Christmas, and realizes that last year they spent almost $6000
on Christmas. He comes up with a plan. This year they skip Christmas, spend
$3000 on a cruise and come out $3000 ahead. While Nora's not too thrilled about
it, she willingly goes along.
Luther hands out letters to all his co-workers that this year he's skipping
Christmas and not to give him anything as he'll not be handing anything out. He
won't do his normal Christmas donations, buy a tree, send out cards... Nothing.
He won't even put up Frosty this year. He's skipping Christmas. The neighbors
aren't happy about it, especially Walt (M. Emmet Walsh), who comes to complain
with the ongoing joke that Luther always accidentally steps on Walt's cat.
Walt's wife Bev (Elizabeth Franz) is cancer stricken and can't get out much.
Vic organizes a neighborhood campaign to force the Kranks to decorate. Kids are
picketing, constant phone calling demanding they "Free Frosty" and even sending
in carolers to try to bring back the Kranks Christmas spirit. The newspaper even
has a story about the scrooges who live in the neighborhood complete with a
photo taken from Walt's roof.
After Luther and Nora do their non-Christmas activities - including tanning,
shopping for beach-wear, even getting Botox injections - Blair calls announcing
she's engaged to a Peruvian and the two of them are coming home so he can
experience a real American Christmas. They'll be at the airport in about 12
hours.
Nora rushes all around town trying to find Blair's favorite ham, inviting
everyone she knows to come to a Christmas Eve party. Luther tries to find a tree
but since it's late on Christmas Eve, there just aren't any left. He finally
convinces one of his neighbors to let him borrow their tree. Vic's son helps
Luther move it. Luther finally digs out Frosty and starts dragging it up to the
roof. The neighbors all start coming out to watch. Luther and Frosty fall and
the neighbors help him up. He reveals to them why the sudden change of heart.
Vic Frohmeyer, the organizer that he is, tells the crowd that they owe this to
Blair. Everyone loves her; they've all watched her grow up and she's babysat
most of their kids. They start decorating, baking, getting the Krank house up to
par for Christmas. Time's running out and Luther can't make it to the airport so
Vic has the local cops (Cheech Marin, Jake Busey) pick them up. They take their
time bringing them home so the neighbors have more time to get the house ready.
Finally Blair and her fiance arrive and the party is a complete success. Luther
goes out to his front yard and as he looks inside his front window he sees
complete happiness. The spirit of Christmas alive and well at the Krank home.
Then he looks across the street and sees the complete opposite at Walt and Bev's
house. They are alone and Walt is caring for the sick Bev. He goes to their
house, wishes them a Merry Christmas and gives him his cruise tickets since he
obviously won't be using them. He even offers to watch their cat for them.
Luther goes back home and Nora is just getting off the phone with Bev. Nora is
very proud of Luther and the Christmas Eve party goes on...
