This 2004 holiday comedy film is based on John Grisham's novel Skipping Christmas. The story follows Luther and Nora Krank (played by Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis), a couple who decide to skip Christmas altogether and go on a cruise instead, after their daughter Blair leaves for a Peace Corps assignment.

However, their decision to forgo the holiday traditions doesn't sit well with their festive neighbors and leads to comedic chaos in their community. As the Kranks prepare for their tropical getaway, they face increasing pressure from friends and neighbors who are determined to maintain the Christmas spirit in their neighborhood.

Things take a turn when Blair announces that she's coming home for Christmas with her new fiancé. With only a few hours to prepare, Luther and Nora must scramble to put together a last-minute Christmas celebration, leading to a series of humorous and heartwarming mishaps.

The film is a lighthearted comedy about the chaos and joy of holiday traditions and the importance of family.
