Laden with false climaxes, the overstuffed plot leaves you exhausted well before the movie ends, and the amiable actors sleepwalk through their uninspired roles.

What's interesting about typical Hollywood Christmas movies is that regardless of how crass, vulgar, or mean-spirited they may be, by the last scene they will inevitably try to wrap viewers in a blanket of warm seasonal cheer.

'My stupidity astounds me!' chortles Danny DeVito in Deck the Halls, a line that pretty much sums up this tale of warring neighbours with very different ideas about celebrating Christmas.

This one follows the depressing pattern of Surviving Christmas and Christmas With the Kranks: enforced holiday cheer gives way to bilious hatred, then hollow forgiveness.

[Deck the Halls] wants to be both naughty and nice, but just ends up feeling deeply confused.

Audience Reviews for Deck the Halls
-
Jan 08, 2020Not a film with true purpose or clear comedy intent. The filmmaker expects the set pieces and actors to generate all the humour, or laugh out loud moments. This is a clumsy film designed for the lowest common denominator. Weird and quite mean spirited comedy film, never comes together. The cast is good, but there's no real storyline here and the filmmaker in charge was definitely not the correct choice for the material. Unfunny and definitely one to avoid around the festive season. I could actually see this film triggering violence. It's weird structure and mean storyline is tiresome and would frustrate any audience member. 26/12/2019Brendan N Super Reviewer

Dec 08, 2011Deck the Halls has a lot going for it, but fails to deliver the heartwarming Christmas comedy that it promises. Both Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick are great comedic actors, but they have no chemistry in this film. Broderick's performance is especially poor, giving a halfhearted effort at best. And, the plot opts to go for cheap laughs and cliches instead of giving any real insight on the modern Christmas of the new millennium. There are a few heartwarming moments, but they're disconnected from the rest of the film. Despite a fine cast and some fun moments, Deck the Halls is an altogether disappointing film.Dann M Super Reviewer
