Variety
Ultimately something of a softball satire, its climactic evocation of the "true meaning" of the holidays is surprisingly touching.

ReelViews
Not an abomination, although it is uninspired and insipid. As such, it's perfect television fare.

A flat parable about the virtues of homespun conformity and the perils of defying family tradition.

Above all, Kranks lacks that basic kernel of credibility that even a goofy farce needs to work.

The Hollywood Reporter
A Christmas comedy where laughs and even Christmas joy are in short supply.
