Deck The Halls (2006) 7/10

Starring : Mathrew Broderick, Danny DeVito, Kristin Davis, Kristin Chenoweth
Director : John Whitesell
Running Time : 93 mins

Steve Finch (Broderick) and his wife Kelly (Davis) love their life in their little home town, where Steve is considered the King of Christmas, but when Buddy Hall (DeVito) and his wife Tia (Chenoweth) move in across the street and start decorating their house in such a way as to put Steve’s in the dark, Steve decides to try and do everything he can to get rid of Buddy.

This is just like a lot of other Christmas movies, with angry neighbours fighting amongst themselves. DeVito is just annoying enough, though he starts to get a little over the top and, as usual, Broderick plays the put upon neighbour who has to put on a brave face as DeVito ruins his life. And don’t expect a surprising ending – you can pretty much guess what’s going to happen from the outset.
