Christmas with the Kranks

In this Christmas Special, Jake and Caleb go it alone to discuss staging 'Christmas with the Kranks' . We'll be putting Joe Roth's 2004 film, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis, into our hypothetical theatre! Based on John Grisham's 2001 novel 'Skipping Christmas', the film follows a couple who decide to skip Christmas one year since their daughter is away, much to the chagrin of their neighbours. The couple are then sent into a panicked backtrack when their daughter calls them on Christmas Eve to announce she is coming home for Christmas after all, and with a boy no less.

We're not a film critisism podcast so aplogies for how much we bash the movie in this episode. A rotten tomatoes score of 5% doesn't lie.

Take a listen and let us know your thoughts @maybeulikeit or [email protected]. What would you do differently?

Despite what we say in the episode, Christmas with the Kranks is now back on Netflix UK at the time of writing. The full script doesn't seem to be available online.
