Deck the Halls

About this movie

Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito star in this hilarious holiday comedy as two competitive neighbors who try to put the "win" in "winter!" Determined to unseat Steve Finch (Broderick) as the town's holiday season king, Buddy Hall (DeVito) plasters his house with so many decorative lights that it'll be visible from space! When their wives (Kristin Davis and Kristin Chenoweth) bond, and their kids follow suit, the two men only escalate their rivalry, and their decorating. It's anybody's guess whether the holidays will wind up jolly or jostled in this wild laugh-fest the whole family will love!

Ratings and reviews

I saw it once at the theater with relatives who wanted to see it. None of us thought it was really funny. Might have had a few laughs, but it was few and far between. The premise is just too dull and not all that interesting. It was just two neighbors competing over lights. Not all that interesting or amusing for a movie, it's an idea better suited for a tv show's episode.

I just watched this movie and i really enjoyed it good movie with a really good cast good acting it's funny and has some heart it's a good holiday movie worth seeing

I watch this movie every year! Competitive neighbors try to out do the other. Fun family movie.
