Deck the Halls

- There glows the neighborhood.

Determined to unseat Steve Finch's reign as the town's holiday season king, Buddy Hall plasters his house with so many decorative lights that it'll be visible from space! When their wives bond, and their kids follow suit, the two men only escalate their rivalry - and their decorating.

Stupid, whacky and bonkers... yet enjoyable. I found 'Deck the Halls' fun. Danny DeVito is the film's star, no question. If it wasn't for him I'd potentially be rating this lower, I admit. He gives an amusing performance, while the hearty stuff directly with him works. Matthew Broderick is a little forgettable here but still produces a good display. Kristin Chenoweth is probably the best of the rest, but it's all about DeVito in truth. I mentioned the heart works with the aforementioned actor, but elsewhere it's a a bit hit-and-miss. The final scene, that Chenoweth plays a part in, is very iffy - could've went either way, I just about liked it though. The humour is good, as is the plot - as silly as it is. I also really enjoyed how they did the lights. I got entertainment from this.

It's _a_ Christmas movie. It won't get annoying if you put it on in the background but it will if you sit down and try to play ultra close attention to it. It's _acceptable_. Entire movie is held up by Danny DeVito's acting. Edit January 16th, 2025: Thinking back on this it really wasn't good at all. It has an incest joke and a cross-dressing joke and overall wasn't that entertaining, and I found myself wishing for the movie to end before it finished. As Christian Di Leo said on Letterboxd: > What do you think Matthew Broderick feels worse about? Killing that mother and daughter in his 1987 drunk driving accident? Or starring in Deck The Halls?
