Luther calculates that they spent $6,132 during the previous year's holiday season, and, not looking forward to celebrating Christmas without their daughter, he suggests they invest the money usually spent on decorations, gifts, and entertainment and treat themselves to a ten-day <a href="/wiki/Caribbean_Sea" title="Caribbean Sea">Caribbean</a> cruise instead. Luther insists that they completely boycott the holidays but Nora initially objects. She eventually agrees after convincing Luther to at least donate to local charities as they do every year. </p><p>The Kranks discover they are considered <a href="/wiki/Pariah_state" title="Pariah state">pariahs</a> due to their decision to skip the holidays. Most vocal in their objections are neighbors Vic Frohmeyer and Walt Scheel. Vic, the self-proclaimed leader of the street who organizes a campaign to force the Kranks to decorate their home. Walt does not seem to like Luther, so his efforts are primarily personal. However, it is revealed that Walt's wife Bev is suffering from <a href="/wiki/Cancer" title="Cancer">cancer</a>, perhaps dampening his holiday spirits. </p><p>Children, led by Vic's son Spike, constantly push them to put up a Frosty the Snowman decoration, and <a href="/wiki/Christmas_carol" title="Christmas carol">Christmas carolers</a> try to revive the Kranks' holiday spirit by singing on their lawn, which Luther stops by icing it. The newspaper prints a front-page story complete with a photograph of the unlit Krank house, and Luther's office colleagues, scout tree salesmen, and police fund collectors are also annoyed. However, Luther and Nora continue to stand their ground. </p><p>The couple are packing for the cruise on Christmas Eve morning when they receive a call from Blair, who announces that she is at <a href="/wiki/Miami_International_Airport" title="Miami International Airport">Miami International Airport</a>, en route home with her Peruvian fiancé Enrique as a surprise for her parents. When Blair asks if they are having their usual party that night, a panicked Nora says yes. Luther and Nora try to decorate the house and coordinate a party with only twelve hours before their daughter and future son-in-law arrive. </p><p>While Nora scrambles to find food, Luther goes to buy a tree but is unable to get anything but a small, dried-up tree. Luther attempts to borrow the indoor tree of neighbor Wes Trogdon, who is going away for a week, with the warning that he is not to damage it. Luther enlists Spike's help to transport the tree across the street, but the neighbors spot him and, assuming he is stealing it, call the police. Spike shows that Luther has Trogdon's keys, and thus was given permission to borrow the tree. Nora comes home, having only been able to obtain smoked trout, and tells Luther to put up Frosty on their roof, which fails when he and Frosty fall off, drawing the neighborhood's attention. Once it is established why Luther is trying frantically to decorate his home, the neighbors, led by Vic, come out in full force to help them ready it for Blair. </p><p>The party starts off strong, with Blair having no idea of the earlier drama. Enrique thanks everyone for the warm welcome, and Nora thanks her neighbors for being a strong community. Luther, to everyone's disappointment, offers only a half-hearted toast. When Nora confronts Luther, he tries to convince her to still go on the cruise, but Nora refuses, disgusted that he is not happy that Blair is home. </p><p>Having a change of heart, Luther slips out of the house, going across the street to the Scheel's. Bev's cancer, once in <a href="/wiki/Remission_(medicine)" title="Remission (medicine)">remission</a>, has returned, and, knowing this may be their last holiday together, Luther insists they take the cruise instead, even offering to look after their cat, to allow them to go. At first Walt and Bev decline, but ultimately decide to accept his generosity. Luther, whose holiday spirit has been renewed, finally admits to Nora that skipping Christmas was not a good idea until she suggests they should do it next year. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Christmas_with_the_Kranks&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Tim_Allen" title="Tim Allen">Tim Allen</a> as Luther Krank</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jamie_Lee_Curtis" title="Jamie Lee Curtis">Jamie Lee Curtis</a> as Nora Krank, Luther's wife</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dan_Aykroyd" title="Dan Aykroyd">Dan Aykroyd</a> as Vic Frohmeyer, the Kranks' domineering neighbor and the unofficial ward boss of the neighborhood</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Erik_Per_Sullivan" title="Erik Per Sullivan">Erik Per Sullivan</a> as Spike Frohmeyer, Vic's son</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cheech_Marin" title="Cheech Marin">Cheech Marin</a> as Officer Salino</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jake_Busey" title="Jake Busey">Jake Busey</a> as Officer Treen, Salino's partner</li> <li><a href="/wiki/M._Emmet_Walsh" title="M.

With the rights of the book received and the May 2000 founding of <a href="/wiki/Revolution_Studios" title="Revolution Studios">Revolution Studios</a>, he stated that "as a start-up company, there was a great deal of work to do in order to get up and running."<sup id="cite_ref-Hollywood_Jesus_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hollywood_Jesus-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Later, filmmaker <a href="/wiki/Chris_Columbus_(filmmaker)" title="Chris Columbus (filmmaker)">Chris Columbus</a>, who also bought the rights to <i>Skipping Christmas</i> and had written a screenplay, called Roth about directing the adaptation.

But when I read Chris's script, I knew I had to at least try to direct it. I promised myself that if I could get the right cast in place, I would do it."

In the next 12 weeks, hundreds of carpenters, plasterers, and painters had built what would become the largest exterior set ever for a movie, being more than 700 feet long and including 16 houses. What Stover called "the core five" were the houses of the Kranks, the Frohmeyers, the Scheels, the Beckers, and the Trogdons, which he claimed had "full ground floors that are dressed and you can see into." He also said that the second floor of the Kranks' was built on a soundstage.

According to DeSanto, "I was looking for a project that was really textural, and maybe a bit nostalgic. I saw <i>Christmas with the Kranks</i> like a Christmas card, a beautiful Christmas memory of how we wish the holiday to be. So a lot of the fabrics I chose were not so much high-tech bright colors, but wools, plaids and mixing patterns. Joe [Roth] was specific about what he wanted, but within that, he allowed me a great deal of freedom to express myself. However, he did not have any impute on the tan segment of the movie where Luthor and Nora Krank were wearing colourful underwear to look their best for the cruise"<sup id="cite_ref-Hollywood_Jesus_3-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hollywood_Jesus-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>DeSanto viewed that all the characters in <i>Christmas with the Kranks</i> would wear costumes that are supposed to serve as their "accents" rather than overtly defining them. Luther Krank is seen wearing the same-colored shirt and suit at work all the time, and according to DeSanto, this "tells that Luther's a punch-the-clock kind of guy, so the whole idea of skipping Christmas and going off on a tropical vacation is completely averse to anything he's ever done." She described Nora as "tasteful and kind of folksy, a middle-American woman approaching middle age. In our first meeting, Jamie Lee Curtis was totally prepared. She wanted to look like a real Midwestern woman who lives in the suburbs of Chicago and is as obsessed with Christmas as everyone around her. Nora dresses for the seasons and I found out by speaking to people at Marshall Field's in Chicago that the Christmas sweater is a big deal. And Jamie wears it so well." As for Vic Frohmeyer, she saw him as "a sort of commander-in-chief of the neighborhood, so I wanted something with a bit of a military flair. Since he's also a college professor, we cut the pattern from a general's jacket and made it professorial by using a vintage tweed mixed with corduroy."<sup id="cite_ref-Hollywood_Jesus_3-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hollywood_Jesus-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Music">Music</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Christmas_with_the_Kranks&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Music"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The soundtrack was produced and supervised by American musician <a href="/wiki/Steven_Van_Zandt" title="Steven Van Zandt">Steven Van Zandt</a>, who arranged and produced 6 of the tracks.<sup id="cite_ref-allmusic.com_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-allmusic.com-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It features many holiday <a href="/wiki/Standard_(music)" title="Standard (music)">standards</a>, including "<a href="/wiki/Jingle_Bell_Rock" title="Jingle Bell Rock">Jingle Bell Rock</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Brenda_Lee" title="Brenda Lee">Brenda Lee</a>; "<a href="/wiki/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer_(song)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (song)">Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Billy_May" title="Billy May">Billy May</a> & His Orchestra with vocal by <a href="/wiki/Alvin_Stoller" title="Alvin Stoller">Alvin Stoller</a>; "<a href="/wiki/I_Saw_Mommy_Kissing_Santa_Claus" title="I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus">I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus</a>" by Eddie Dunstedter; "<a href="/wiki/White_Christmas_(song)" title="White Christmas (song)">White Christmas</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Dean_Martin" title="Dean Martin">Dean Martin</a>; "<a href="/wiki/Frosty_the_Snowman" title="Frosty the Snowman">Frosty the Snowman</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Steven_Van_Zandt" title="Steven Van Zandt">Steve Van Zandt</a>; "<a href="/wiki/Blue_Christmas_(song)" title="Blue Christmas (song)">Blue Christmas</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Elvis_Presley" title="Elvis Presley">Elvis Presley</a>; and "<a href="/wiki/The_Christmas_Song" title="The Christmas Song">The Christmas Song</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Ella_Fitzgerald" title="Ella Fitzgerald">Ella Fitzgerald</a>. </p><p>It received generally favorable reviews, with many critics appreciating the use of garage rock as a "fresh take" on Christmas music. <i><a href="/wiki/Houston_Press" title="Houston Press">Houston Press</a></i> featured it on their list of top 10 Christmas movie soundtracks.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception">Reception</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Christmas_with_the_Kranks&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Reception"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Box_office">Box office</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Christmas_with_the_Kranks&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Box office"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On its opening weekend, it earned $21.6 million on 3,393 screens, ranking #3 behind <i><a href="/wiki/National_Treasure_(film)" title="National Treasure (film)">National Treasure</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/The_Incredibles" title="The Incredibles">The Incredibles</a></i>.
