The Nostalgia Critic is so bummed with today's Christmas movie, he doesn't feel the urge to put any effort into his review. He starts to long for the old days when it was just him, a camera, clips and memes. And so Santa Christ makes his wish come true, swapping out the 2007 Critic for the current one, so this horrible movie can be given the old-school, low-budget, low-effort it deserves. What movie could be so horrible, you may wonder? Christmas with the Kranks. Nuff said.

Trivia
The look of the 2007 Critic is based upon his appearance in the review of the Cloverfield trailer, when Doug Walker was still experimenting with his character's look and wardrobe.

Quotes
Nostalgia Critic: [looking annoyed] Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it, so you don't have to. Especially when you shouldn't have to. By God, is today's movie bad! It is one of the worst Christmas flicks you could possibly see! It's a wonderful little piece-of-shit bomb called "Christmas with the Kranks"!
[shows clips of the movie]
Nostalgia Critic: This is based on the John Grisham novel.
[displays a cover of the book "The Firm" by John Grisham]
Nostalgia Critic: Yes, that John Grisham. He was so good at making white people afraid of the justice system that I guess he decided to make white people afraid of Christmas, too. He succeeded, but in a way he probably didn't intend. It's mind-blowing how little this movie tries, how tired the writing is, how it doesn't attempt in any way to give us anything new! The jokes are years old, the acting is like something out of the '50s, its message is beyond half-assed and lazy, it's just friggin' horrendous!
