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 released in the United States on November 24, 2004 by Columbia Pictures. The film was a moderate box-office success,[4] grossing over $96 million internationally, though it received largely unfavorable reviews from critics. Retrospectively, it has received positive reviews from some of Tim Allen's fans.[citation needed]
