Based on John Grisham's best-selling novel Skipping Christmas, this comedy stars Tim Allen as Luther Krank, a man who decides to skip Christmas and all the surrounding trappings and go on a vacation with his wife Nora (Curtis) instead. But when his daughter decides, at the last minute, to come home for the holidays, he is forced to put Christmas back together, from his wife.
Jamie Lee Curtis was actually funny in this movie. But I liked her performance better in the 2003 hit "Freaky Friday" where her performance was better. Tim Allen was okay in this movie. It seems like he is getting older, but he did alright. Now lets talk about the movie. I had a feeling that this movie was going to be funny, and it is. I liked how the whole neighborhood cares what Luther wants to do and how they act like it's there business. But I think the movie could've been better in a few ways. Let me just say this may have *BREIF Spoiler* but someone may expect this to happen, but how Luther and Nora decide to put Christmas back together, the neighborhood wants to help, after what they did to them. Also, how the fake the neighborhood could be. There is no way a neighborhood could act like that. Screaming "Free Frosty!" over and over again.
This could be a delight to some families, but I think the best Christmas movie is definitely "Home Alone", I love that movie so much. I think families could see this movie and enjoy it, but there are better holiday movies to choose from. 6/10
