** Nora is portrayed as an unselfish giver who goes along with Luther's plan only after everyone hounds her, and is supposed to be the voice of reason and conscience. Instead, she is an insufferable nag and a self-righteous person who thinks that her problems (and her money) entitle her to what she wants. Watch the scene where she's trying to get the so-called "honey ham" and how she expects to be able to bribe people to get her ham, and then tells people how ''her daughter'' is in the Peace Corps. She spends most of the movie berating Luther about what is a reasonable decision considering their daughter has left.

The film being better if it was done in a completely different way doesn't count as They Wasted A Perfectly Good Plot

** What could have been a wickedly sharp satire on the kind of people who have made Christmas the beast it is gets ruined when the movie expects us to be on their side. This film could have been an amazing dark comedy or even a straightforward ''thriller'' if it had even an ounce of irony or self-awareness about how horrifying its yuletide StepfordSuburbia is.
** Some reviewers think the movie would have been much better had it been about the Kranks actually on the cruise. A cruise, after all, is a unique setting for a Christmas movie with all kinds of opportunities for wacky antics.

** Luthor is depicted as a self-centered jerkass, but perhaps he's just reacting, as anybody would, to a pack of controlling neighbors who try and tell him how to celebrate the holidays.
