When the Kranks' daughter heads off to college, Luther (Tim Allen) and Nora (Jamie Lee Curtis) decide to bypass Christmas and take an island cruise instead. Unbeknownst to them, it becomes a great ordeal with their neighbors. This was the creative movie version based on John Grisham's book, Skipping Christmas. Recommend.
