In Defense of Deck the Halls

Ho Ho Ho! Welcome to December! We hope you're ready to get into the spirit of the season with this classic Christmas movie featuring Matthew Broderick, Danny Devito, Kristin Chenoweth and Kristin Davis. Buddy Hall, played by Devito is tired of being a measly salesman bouncing from one gig to the next. He wants to do something BIG that will make a difference in people's lives. When his daughters, Ashley and Emily (played by Kelly and Sabrina Aldridge respectively) alert him to the fact that their new house is the only house in the neighborhood that can't be seen from space, Buddy hatches a plan to spend every last penny he has decorating his house to make it as bright and elaborate as possible. The townsfolk love it, all except for his neighbor across the street: Steve Finch, the stick-in-the-mud control-freak played by Broderick. It's a head-to-head Christmas neighborhood showdown! Is it worth the lousy 6% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes? Come along with us and find out!
