It's nearly Christmas, but empty-nesters Nora and Luther Krank (Jamie Lee Curtis and Tim Allen) are planning to skip the festivities in favour of a cruise, to the dismay of their tinsel-happy neighbours. But when daughter Blair announces a last-minute visit, the Kranks have just a few hours to pull themselves together and organise their best Christmas celebration yet!
Dan Akroyd plays the Kranks' yuletide-obsessed neighbour in this Chris Columbus-scripted family comedy, based on a novel by John Grisham (yes, that John Grisham).
