Reviews
|
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.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
A flat parable about the virtues of homespun conformity and the perils of defying family tradition.
|
|
Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
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.
