Happy Christmas, all! That's right - Nothing rings in holiday cheer like...
REVIEWS OF 'CHRISTMAS WITH THE CRANKS'
(quotes taken from the Rotten Tomatoes website)
"Not since Arnold Schwarzenegger's Jingle All the Way has there been a Yuletide film as fascistic -- or as odious -- as Christmas With the Kranks."
"A nightmare vision of a theist, conformist America... It's like 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers,' except we're expected to root for the pod people."
"A shrill and mean-spirited orgy of banana-peel pranks."
"Okay. It’s official now. I hate Christmas."
"This grim holiday-themed comedy is the movie equivalent of getting socks and underwear for Christmas."
"As tasteless and stale as last year's cheese log."
"Phony, disingenuous family entertainment, suffocated by its green bean casserole approach to Middle America, spineless cardboard characters and paper-thin plot 'twists.'"
"Christmas with the Kranks takes the icy throne as the king of all bad holidays movies…except Jingle all the Way. "
"Really rather chilling, an unintentional Orwellian object lesson in what happens when you deviate from the groupthink...."
"A vile, morally repugnant lump of coal. One of the worst, most disingenuous Christmas movies in memory."
"Rotten Eggnog."
Happy holidays!
