Reviews


70
Variety - Scott Foundas
Ultimately something of a softball satire, its climactic evocation of the "true meaning" of the holidays is surprisingly touching.
50
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Not an abomination, although it is uninspired and insipid. As such, it's perfect television fare.
50
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano
A flat parable about the virtues of homespun conformity and the perils of defying family tradition.
42
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold
Above all, Kranks lacks that basic kernel of credibility that even a goofy farce needs to work.
40
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
A Christmas comedy where laughs and even Christmas joy are in short supply.
