Although the competition is tough, Deck the Halls may just take the crown. This is an abysmally bad movie. Poorly written, poorly directed, poorly acted, poor poor poor. Matthew Broderick plays the King of Christmas in a small Massachusetts town. Although how he became king, I'll never know, because he doesn't seem to do anything that can be remotely described as Christmasy. He doesn't even put up lights (or hire anyone to put them up)! His new neighbor, Danny DeVito, does, and how. He is a loser hiding from his creditors who decides that he wants his house to be seen from space. And proceeds to work on achieving that lofty goal. And without an ounce of humor, too.
Believe me. Don't go. Don't rent. Don't buy. Let this dog die a slow and painful death.
