Crowell review 12/3

HH (out of four)

As I sat watching "Christmas With the Kranks," I found myself wondering when the movie was going to pick up the pace and get funny.

This movie started slow and did not get much better. There was too little humor and the story line was a bit too exaggerated. If my parents acted like that, I would never want to come home for Christmas -- or any time, for that matter.

My suggestion is to wait for the video or see it during the matinee.
