Deck the Halls
Directed by John Whitesell
Determined to unseat Steve Finch's reign as the town's holiday season king, Buddy Hall plasters his house with so many decorative lights that it'll be visible from space! When their wives bond, and their kids follow suit, the two men only escalate their rivalry - and their decorating. From TMDB

60 of 126 · most liked firstBad Tidings: Feuding neighbours Lee Mack and Chris McCausland (who co-writes) must defend their suburb from a family of thieves in the Sky TV movie, that's Home Alone meets Deck the Halls. It's not original, and the lighting's dim, but pretty funny, with enough slapstick for John Hughes to approve.

Lee Mack and Strictly Come Dancing winner Chris McCausland have to defend their neighbourhood from thieves in the TV movie Bad Tidings (airing 7.30pm tonight, Sky Max), an abashed Home Alone meets Deck the Halls riff, that's fun... but they should have turned the lights on.

Hallmark's best movie, maybe ever, ROUND AND ROUND, finally streaming on Hallmark+ Along with THREE WISER MEN AND A BOY's extended cut, HAPPY HOWLIDAYS, DECK THE HALLS ON CHERRY LANE, penultimate episode of HOLIDAZED and a Polaha-hosted A BILTMORE CHRISTMAS
neutral · AI labelView post →You've got a point there. I watched Deck The Halls recently and he's basically Frank in that. Frank isn't a character, it's just Dan
neutral · AI labelView post →Another Christmas movie. Yep watching Deck the Halls it has its funny moments lol #filmsky #deckthehalls #christmas
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember sitting in the cinema watching the awful Dudley Moore Santa Claus movie in the 80s. I also watched Deck the Halls on cable once. I could keep going listing Christmas movies I’ve seen that are a lot worse than Elf
negative · AI labelView post →Deck the Halls is number 10. I still cannot believe people actually enjoy that movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →I was so excited about this particular movie I'm working on and it fucking OPENS with Deck the Halls. I have to count, and perfectly time, all the "la, la, la" bullshit. Yep, I count 'em. Accurate as fuck.
negative · AI labelView post →Merry Christmas to all! 🎄🎅 It's the 24 hours of "A Christmas Story" time, family tradition. One can't watch this movie & not help but be moved by the final scene in the Chinese restaurant so Deck The Halls Or as they sing it Deck the Harrs
neutral · AI labelView post →Hearing a movie play the song "Deck the Halls" from the floor below, and I mishear the lyric as "Tis the season to be sorry," and it feels like a new yuletide threat has been unlocked.
neutral · AI labelView post →The reason why you hear Jingle Bells in every fucking Christmas movie is because it entered public domain ages ago. Royalty-free, baby. Same with Deck the Halls and O Christmas Tree. If I never caption Jingle Bells again, it will be too soon.
neutral · AI labelView post →Every holiday season, I watch a critically maligned Christmas movie in hopes to say "You know what? that wasn't so bad!" So far I am 0-4 with One Magic Christmas, Four Christmases, Last Christmas and Santa Claus: the Movie Will Deck The Halls (a whopping 6% on Rotten Tomatoes) turn the tide?
neutral · AI labelView post →Hooray, now we're into a proper Hallmark film: "Deck The Halls", about a high-flying woman from the city who visits her hometown for some reason. I thought I spotted the guy who she would inevitably fall in love with, but that apparently is her brother. That would have turned this movie on its head.
neutral · AI labelView post →Christmas Movie #12: Deck The Halls. The wife and I watched this in our first Advent Calendar year, back in 2017, but we never finished it after not liking it. We gave it another chance and yeah, I now know why we didn't like it. Good lord, this is awful... boxd.it/c1tQ9H

positive · AI labelView post →Deck the Halls is a terrible movie but it’s so much better when viewed as a Frank Reynolds sidequest.

neutral · AI labelView post →My elderly mother loves them. I've tried to watch them w her. Can't do it. They're awful. It's why I can't sit thru "Deck The Halls." It's basically a Hallmark Christmas movie w big name/ high dollar actors. It is one of the all-around worst movies ever, never mind Christmas movies.

neutral · AI labelView post →Deck the Halls What an awful movie of unlikable characters and weird flexes. It's maybe one of nastiest Christmas movies I've ever seen.
negative · AI labelView post →You forget watching Deck the Halls and chasing it with the HDTGM episode with tales of Broderick saying this is the lowest it’ll get. My late aunt went to see it and told me the people who made that movie should go to prison.
negative · AI labelView post →The Addams Family starts out with carolers singing "Deck the Halls"--so it's a Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I actually watched Deck The Halls about a month ago during my annual Christmas movie marathon. Holy shit it was awful. I love DeVito but he was horribly miscast here... bsky.app/profile/drum...

neutral · AI labelView post →We have a new episode! Well, I guess it's not new anymore, since it came out over a week ago, but the film festival has distracted us from promoting it. Oops! We hope you enjoy(ed) it! Our next film will be "Deck The Halls" (2006). www.nowplayingnetwork.net/christmasmov...
neutral · AI labelView post →Deck The Halls has all the chaotic elements of a really fun mediocre movie but the characters have zero depth. The only motivations in the movie are “I should go to therapy but I won’t.” One or two likable characters with backstory might have saved this from being bland.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Deck the Halls (2006), probably the worst xmas movie I've seen. Characters that don't act like real people, lazy old homophobic jokes, super fucking inappropriate sexualization of the teenage girl characters, it's quite bad

neutral · AI labelView post →Deck the Halls (2006) Directed by John Whitesell A movie that makes you feel like its the least wonderful time of the year. Devoid of laughs, merriment, or mirth. Focused on two talented actors at the lowest parts of their careers. Full Review: boxd.it/80ZGfN
negative · AI labelView post →9th December and today's #XmasAdventMovie is Deck The Halls (2006), a straight-to-DVD release I hadn't heard of but picked off a "100 best Christmas films" list as a wild card. Another slapstick comedy - any good? Read on and find out...
neutral · AI labelView post →Really enjoyed the #DeckTheHalls episode. The key is to be watching the #movie while listening, so you can be reminded of just how ridiculous it really is. But the dynamic from them had me baked on the couch, at 2am, laughing my ass off, at an awful movie with a ridiculous plot. #HowDidThisGetMade
positive · AI labelView post →Christmas film advent calendar. So far I've watched.... 1. Unlikely Angel (1996) 2. Jingle All the Way (1996) 3. Deck the Halls (2006) 4. Christmas Eve (2015)
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s very difficult to get a Christmas album that’s delightfully different, but this manages it as well I think. Includes Star Carol too. Proper film studio orchestration. Deck The Halls sounds like it could have been used in Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood m.youtube.com/watch?v=wSqs...
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's the first night of Christmas movie watching. Deck The Halls! @alias-agatha.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →Deck the Halls (2006) This movie is really stupid. They don't make comedies like this anymore, and I can see why. Most of the jokes don't land, and some haven't aged well, but I had a good time watching it because it was entertainingly bad and had Danny DeVito in it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, he was in a movie called "Deck the Halls."
