Christmas with the Kranks is a movie of 2 halves, i like the first half it was funny, believable and relatable for me the movie turns into a silly slapstick annoying almost hallmark film about the time that Blair calls and says shes coming home for Christmas eve. Then the cringe factor begins when the annoying neighbours come to the aid of the Kranks thats when the movie jumps the shark and makes the art of putting house Christmas decorations that would take many days to 1 and half hour rush getting the whole street involved to the whole town involved. including the firemen and their ladders and the only police officers in town to please Blair and her new Bo. Its unbelievable how the movie can change direction and you see the obvious hallmark moments in the 2nd half the halo Christmas by the front window effect. Anyways you cannot beat the movie Christmas Vacation for its dark humour, comedy, christmassy, but not going overboard with the halo effect and over the top family values something Christmas with the Kranks does which makes me puke.
