Critics Consensus: Relying on flat humor and a preposterous plot, Deck the Halls is an unnecessarily mean-spirited holiday movie that does little to put viewers in a holiday mood.

Laden with false climaxes, the overstuffed plot leaves you exhausted well before the movie ends, and the amiable actors sleepwalk through their uninspired roles.
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.
I love the Christmas season, but there are times when I wish it would go away if only to save audiences from horrific experiences like this.
There is something about the holiday season that brings lazy filmmakers to pitch meetings with Frank Capra knockoffs clutched in their sweaty paws.
It's a holiday ritual: Each year, American moviegoers get the misanthropically stupid, plastic-satire-of- a-plastic-society Christmas comedy they deserve.
This nonsense seems to have been conceived on the back of a snot-soaked tissue by a none-too-bright third grader.
Makes us miss those Home Alone days...
The gags land like lumps of coal, but at least the unnatural mounds of fluffy white snow remain unsullied in the dreck.
Ah, another lifeless comedy for the holidays. It's just super to be reminded how mean-spirited and grotesquely commercial the Christmas season can be, isn't it?
The distasteful formula is even more sour and ham-handed than usual; Broderick's and DeVito's natural likeability never stands a chance.
a bit too faux-humbug for me
Deck the Halls is a very sweet but edgy christmas film thats kept alive by its wonderful cast and witty humour. It's not overly bad as everyone says it is.
Super Reviewer
the only part i really liked was when he said "jesus!....christ the lord was born" hehe the rest was ok
A movie that is too terrible for words, come on Danny DeVito, get back in the game.
Christmas Movie Review Mania Episode #5: Deck the Halls Welcome to the first negative review in the Christmas Movie Review Mania series! Deck the Halls is a predictable Christmas movie with a very stupid plot. The acting is mediorce. The humor is both funny and unfunny. This is nowhere close to all those funny Christmas comedies like "The Santa Clause" or "A Christmas Story". Did I mention that the movie has a bit of offensive humor? Anyways, don't watch unless you're in the mood for a bad comedy.
There are no approved quotes yet for this movie.
