Deck the Halls

ComedyFamily93 min

In a Christmas-obsessed neighborhood, an orderly optometrist sees his carefully planned holiday traditions thrown off by the arrival of a flashy new neighbor with bigger ideas and no interest in keeping things low-key. What starts as irritation turns into an all-out decorating war, as each man tries to outdo the other with brighter displays, louder stunts, and increasingly public one-upmanship. The rivalry spills into their families and the whole community, turning a season of goodwill into a contest neither wants to lose. Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito lead the feud as the competition keeps escalating far past a few strings of lights.
