Definately NOT on my Christmas list....

PaulaWestwood from , 3rd December, 2006

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?

A Customer from North London, 12th December, 2006

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!

Awful

A Customer from N Ireland, 5th March, 2010

Such a bad christmas film, terribly acted by Matthew Brodrick, even though it has all the makings of a christmas film....it left me feeling nothing exciting about christmas.

It's a title.

Hkbor from , 31st December, 2009

This film was recommended to me by an ex-friend (probably the same one who recommended Cliff Richard - His Greatest Hits).To me the film is absolute rubbish. Trousers round the ankle farce, and I am a Christmas film buff. The 'plot' is obvious, over emphasised and cringingly bad. I couldn't watch it all the way through. The children, to whom it is obviously addressed, didn't want to see the end either. They thought it was, 'unfunny', 'boring' and 'cringemaking' (their word). So no, we didn't like it.
