This holiday comedy is centered around two neighbors in a small New England town who go to war when one of them decides to decorate his house with a so many Christmas lights that they are visible from space. The neighborhood is turned upside down as the families try to discover the true meaning of Christmas.
The new neighboor Buddy Hall (Danny DeVito) is this old guy who just can’t seem to stay interested in ONE thing..He apparently wants some trait or calling that makes him stand out be special….His latest interest is he wants his house to be seen from space from his Christmas lights.
This LITERALLY makes Steve Finch crazy. Up until now he was the town’s “Christmas Guy”….Now Hall is upstaging Steve’s festive spirit throughout the movie Steve trys to sabotage Hall.
This movie would be nothing if it weren’t for the talents of DeVito Broderick…DeVito plays a variation of the “lovable awkward sleaze ball” he’s played before.
Broderick appears to be this harmless wimpy family man (at first) until someone trys to challenge his holiday showmanship, then he just snaps like a twig…Like the anal-retentive passive-aggressive characters he’s played to a t in Election and You Can Count On Me.
The “nice guy” whose a little devious and unstable behind closed doors….Love that character.
The biggest problem with this movie is the fact that it isn’t PG-13…The humor looks like it would be too much for a kid who isn’t in sixth grade yet.
There’s this run-on gag about the town’s cross-dresser, the “Whose Your Daddy” scene, the phallic jokes….The scene where all the trees are burned is arguably iconoclastic.
If you want to see something silly and a little bit dark/cynical around the holidays then you could give Deck The Halls a chance.
If you can sit through 2 hours of musical CGI penguins or 120 jokes about farting reindeer puppets in the Santa Claus movies, I don’t see why Deck The Halls is so bad.
