Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Christmas with the Kranks is a 2004 American Christmas comedy film directed by Joe Roth from a screenplay by Chris Columbus, and starring Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dan Aykroyd, Erik Per Sullivan, Cheech Marin, Jake Busey, and M. Emmet Walsh. Based on the 2001 novel Skipping Christmas by John Grisham, it follows a middle-aged couple who, much to the chagrin of their neighbors, decide to forgo their Christmas celebrations after their daughter leaves for the Peace Corps until she unexpectedly decides to return home for the holidays. Christmas with the Kranks was produced by Columbia Pictures, Revolution Studios and 1492 Pictures and released in the United States on November 24, 2004, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film was a moderate box-office success, grossing $96.6 million worldwide against a $60 million budget, though it received largely unfavorable reviews from critics. Retrospectively, it has received positive reappraisal by some publications. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
