When their only daughter Blair leaves the family nest, Luther and Nora Krank (Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis) decide to book an island cruise to beat the yuletide blues and just skip the holidays. But their decision to boycott tradition has the whole neighborhood in an uproar, and when Blair calls on Christmas Eve to announce a surprise visit with her new fiancée, the Kranks have just twelve hours to perform a miracle and pull themselves and their neighbors together to throw the best celebration ever.

The creators probably liked the look of National Lampoon’s Christmas Adventure with the Griswold family and decided that they wanted to film a Christmas comedy like it. But a movie like that needs Christmas spirit and funny moments - neither of those were evident here. It is only bearable thanks to the reliable Jamie Lee Curtis and Aykroyd, otherwise it’s all terribly boring right from the start, sometimes even annoying.
