Deck The Halls (DVD)

...became a teenage favourite. Deck The Halls is not a new concept in film making, in fact it's a tale that we have all seen a hundred times before, it largely bases its story around neighbouring rivalry and bad feeling in the season of joy. Steve Finch (Matthew Broderick) the dentist and Mayer of a small snowbound town is preparing for that very special time of year, a time of year he looks forward too for eleven months. But things are not going to ...
...this Christmas upside down. Deck The Halls is far from viewing rocket science, its plot is simple its jokes repetitive and old. But what the movie does have is certain innocence for Christmas. It avoids near the knuckle humour never once even getting close to delivering risqué scene, or a swear word. And in a world where you can't switch on your TV without hearing a word that 20 years ago would have caused complaint. You can watch the movie as a ...

...is constantly searching for happiness, for a way to leave his mark. He is fed-up of always being underestimated and over-looked, and wants to find a way to become 'visible'. Steve Finch is the type who thinks he knows it all. His idea of Christmas, which can be found between the covers of 'Good Housekeeping' and 'Vanity Fair', is so rigidly and meticulously planned that it becomes a chore. In an effort to be the town's 'Mister Christmas' the two ...

Review of Deck The Halls (DVD)

The theme of this movie is formulaic and centred around two neighbours who go to war over decorating their house with Christmas lights. The byline of the movie is "There glows the neighbourhood". This byline has two meanings. One about unwanted neighbours and the other about going up in flames/lights. The movie is set in Massachusetts (New England) and stars Matthew Broderick as Dr Steve Finch and Danny De Vito plays Buddy Hall, a car salesman. ...
...Buddy moves into the neighbourhood with his family and we discover that Buddy has never settled into any job and is moving his family regularly across America in search of a job. Buddy puts christmas lights on his house and gets an idea into his head that he wants the house to be seen from space so goes to the extreme of putting up more and more lights and decorations. To the annoyance of his neighbour, Steve Finch. Different altercations ensue ...
