January 4, 2013Matthew Broderick must be the most lethargic actors working today. I don't blame him for not caring though, this isn't a film to get passionate about. Danny DeVito's likability is the only thing going for this film that on the whole could have been good if only they hadn't gone c... read more

January 30, 2012Deck the Halls is a very sweet but edgy christmas film thats kept alive by its wonderful cast and witty humour. It's not overly bad as everyone says it is.

December 7, 2010Christmas Movie Review Mania
Episode #5: Deck the Halls
Welcome to the first negative review in the Christmas Movie Review Mania series! Deck the Halls is a predictable Christmas movie with a very stupid plot. The acting is mediorce. The humor is both funny and unfunny. This ... read more -
November 22, 2010A so-so comedy about rival neighbours overdoing the Christmas celebrations. Good cast and it has funny moments, one to watch over the festive season if nothing much else is on.

December 5, 2009Outstanding Christmas film, I my option for the whole family. Enjoyable and fun. Danny DiVito does what he does best. the kid star played his part well, showing what young teen agers feel about twin girls and naked paintings of Dannys Wife. Alia Shawkat stole my heart, great actr... read more

July 18, 2009Whats the point of this? there's no real plot, its not funny and the cast are naff. Broderick is soooo wet these days and Devito needs better material. Its yr typical Xmas movie, all the same cliches and outcomes, trying to be a 'National Lampoons' beater maybe? its looks nice an... read more

This one follows the depressing pattern of Surviving Christmas and Christmas With the Kranks: enforced holiday cheer gives way to bilious hatred, then hollow forgiveness. Full Review

I love the Christmas season, but there are times when I wish it would go away if only to save audiences from horrific experiences like this. Full Review

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
It's a holiday ritual: Each year, American moviegoers get the misanthropically stupid, plastic-satire-of- a-plastic-society Christmas comedy they deserve. Full Review

I literally did not count a single laugh in the whole aimless schlep, except for the hucksters who made it, on their way to the bank. Full Review

As long as atrocious, fake-pine duds like this keep making their money back, there's no such thing as a Christmas that's too commercial. Full Review

Looking for some early holiday cheer? Look at anything but Deck the Halls. Full Review

The raw ingredients of this crass holiday comedy include an inept stab at Home Alone-style slapstick, sitcom-thin characters, a snickering attitude about tacky yuletide decorations and a good helping ... Full Review

Does anybody in Hollywood celebrate Christmas anymore? You have to wonder, with the woeful Christmas fare that has been hurled at us the past few years. Full Review

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
A holiday farce that pairs a colorful cast with a generic filmmaker. Full Review
