![Are people serious when they say Hollywood is out of touch with Middle America? Because Columbia Pictures, it appears, is dreaming of a red-state Christmas this year. Adapted by Chris Columbus from John Grisham's "Skipping Christmas," and directed by Revolution Studios head Joe Roth, "Christmas With the Kranks" is a flat parable about the virtues of homespun conformity and the perils of defying family tradition — the kind of family tradition that runs up the credit card balance, helping retailers reach their holiday projections.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-11/15199317.jpg "Are people serious when they say Hollywood is out of touch with Middle America?
