Deck The Halls (DVD)

“The Penguin” meets “Ferris Bueller”! You’ll probably wind up by buying this delightful Christmassy DVD – even though the first half of it will possibly irritate you as much as it did me!

Slightly old-fashioned Steve Finch (Matthew Broderick) lives in a quiet neighbourhood with his supportive wife Kelly (Kirstin Davis); their dawky teenage daughter Madison (Alia Shawkat); and their son, Carter (Dylan Blue)…who is obviously about to enter the Golden Age of puberty! Enter the New Neighbour from Hell in the form of Buddy Hall (Danny DeVito)! Despite his neighbourly young wife Tia (Kirstin Davis), and their two mini-skirted 9-foot daughters Ashley and Emily (Sabrina and Kelly Aldridge) – whose presence is certainly not lost on Carter – Buddy proves to be a pushy, dislikeable little car salesman who cannot settle down anywhere. His life’s ambition is to create a Christmas light display that will make his home visible from space!

Much of the screen time runs very much like a Jack Lemon & Walter Matthau comedy at its worst…but after the power has fused on Buddy’s ultimate light display: the townspeople arrive to illuminate the place with their cellphones – and Tia leads them in the singing of “O Holy Night”…

This holiday comedy is centred around two neighbours in a small New England town who go to war when one of them decides to decorate his house with so many Christmas lights that they are visible from space. The neighbourhood is turned upside down as the families try to discover the true meaning of Christmas.
