Deck The Halls

[Highly rated reviewer]

Definately NOT on my Christmas list....

This is entertaining enough and has a few laughs, but the falling out with the neighbour / wife / family and BIG christmas make up idea makes for a completely cliched and tired story. This will be worth it only if the turkeys in and you are desparate for a diversion for an hour and a half. Otherwise give this a miss... you could guage how good it was, in our screening people of all ages were leaving half way through, and those that stayed were becoming fidgety. It's fun-ish but not uniquely entertaining for either kids or adults... Santa... give this the sack.

Xmas fun?

I do love the festive season because it means watching several senseless, smarmy,corny, films about Xmas spirit! 'Deck the halls' is not bad as far as Xmas movies go. Although I do have to say it's up there as far as senseless films are concerned. Short little man (Devito) feels invisible and his dream is to make his house visible from outer space (Heh?)Never mind that he never stays at a job long enough to make it work, and drags his family to live all across America....Devito gets carried away with his Christmas Lights shenanigans and rubs up his neighbour, Broderick the wrong way and a feud ensues. The end is interesting, turns out that both had more in common then they bargained for! Good Xmas fun!
