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.
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!
very funny danny devito is the neibour from hell who always to go one better than his neibour.

Deck the Halls with bells of fun. This is a grate very funny movie. A must for christmas ore any other time of year
Some good laughs with uptight Matthew Brodrick and easy-going Danny Devitto. Have seen it all before with Trains, Planes & Automobiles though.
A little predictable but a good watch none the less. Some good effects.
OMG what a load of rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!
brill film well worth watching !!!! and dany divito played a excellent part
Seemed like all the best bits were in the trailer so we were disappointed with the film
Not many people seem to have seen this film but it really is worth watching. Danny Devitio is funny as the new neighbour who is intent on decorating his house to the extent that the lights can be viewed from space, it is also worth watching just to see his twin daughters. Light-hearted and funny in places it is all-in-all a Very Good christmas film that Is very funny and has good scenes of action. Definately watch this film It should be viewed by Comedy fans and Christmas Film fans.
