Christmas with the Kranks

Here's a film that asks: what if Christmas… wasn't? The Kranks decide to skip town and avoid the holiday season altogether, much to the dismay of their tradition-loving neighbors. But when their daughter decides to come home last minute, the couple has to manufacture Christmas morning from scratch. It's a Yuletide panic, played for laughs (presumably).
