MCT:August 3, 2008I am a sucker for christmas films, they just suit the time of year so much...this really deserves a one star rating like most of them (not including Elf or Santa claus) but a nice holiday film to enjoy...however corny it may be

Rather disappointed with this one. Not funny, rather predictable and had the family drama cheesiness in it as well. I expected more from a Broderick/ Devito pairing.

Petty men and their squabbles. *rolls eyes* I kept skipping to Cheno's scenes. And cringe everytime she kissed Danny DeVito and looked at him with affection. My skin crawls thinking about it.

Eh, it's boring for me.
I personally get irritated when watching Christmas-themed movies like this. -
MCT:May 1, 2008A typical Christmas comedy, but I kinda hate to admit I enjoyed it. Sure, its predictable with one of those happy endings, but I got a few laughs along the way.
Basically what happens is a new guy comes to town, and happens to be the neighbour of the 'Christmas guy' of the town. But soon the new guy and his family decide to put up Christmas lights all over their house, with the hope of being able to see it from space. Soon he becomes the new Christmas guy, and he's ruining it for his neighbour. The two become rivals and act like kids I guess you could say, as they battle it out but eventually all they need for a nice Christmas is their family, that's what they find out anyway.
Mathew Broderic was funny to see, I admire him as an actor and he just seemed to enjoy the whole thing and Danny DeVito gave it that extra touch. This is a nice Christmas comedy, but if you've had enough of them don't bother ..otherwise just sit back and enjoy! -
MCT:April 1, 2008what a cute film this was i totally enjoyed it completely is a funy cheery film.. for the whole family..I couldn't stop laughing all the way through.

Broderick seemed like he was till doing the Inspector Gadget persona...change gears man!
Otherwise it was a funny movie -
MCT:January 12, 2008It was okay, It wasn't really funny but it was a nice movie. I absolutely hated Danny DeVito in this movie. It was pretty smart of him to stealing the other dudes power.

I don't think this is one of those movies that you can get too deep with when trying to review it lol - its just your average family movie, fairly funny and something to watch to pass away some xmas time of tv movie repeats!!
Not Bad. -

Pretty cute family movie. I wasnt bored and enjoyed it. I think its a good christmas movie to watch durning the holidays
-
MCT:January 3, 2008Horrible!
The jokes are so pathetic they made me wanna cry, the whole story in general is SO STUPID, and the acting is awful (trying to act like the perfect American family ultimately ends up being a fiasco). It seems the director couldn't focus on a solid and decent plot for a cute little christmas movie.
This is over-the-top nonsense!
Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. -
MCT:January 2, 2008This was good for a few laughs, but overall I was really disaponted. DeVitto could have been a lot funnier and Broderick is just crap.
-
MCT:January 2, 2008
Just your standard Christmas movie, not overly funny and with a sugary sweet ending which kind of makes you all warm and fuzzy despite the movie.
-
MCT:January 1, 2008
Not very funny...the best part of the movie is the last 3 or 4 minutes. I would have given this one only 2 stars, but I enjoyed the ending. Would only suggest this one around the holidays if there is nothing else Christmas-related to watch...but fortunately that is unlikely as there are many holiday films much better than this one. Skip this movie, or just watch the ending!

I was really disappointed with this movie! I thought that it would be really funny, but it was just annoying. Too bad... It would have been better if they had been fighting to have the most decorated house instead of one being annoyed by the decorations of another.

I really hate movies like this. Movies where two people live near or with each other and become friends and enemies at the same time. It's not any fun watching people destroy each other and themselves. Danny DeVito has a built a career out of stuff like this. War of the Roses was like his big revelation. Well, perhaps he was inspired from films like Neighbors. Either way - this sort of thing is a tradition. Mindless crap formula for a movie. As the years go on, films of this nature that come out are less and less inspired and more and more crap. This one is an unholy turd - it's almost like the perfect storm since it also features Broderick who often ends up doing these as well... not to mention it's a shit christmas movie which of course adds to the suckage paint by numbers-ness.

Not the best Christmas-family-comedy-movie out there. Almost a drama not so many laughs at all. It works if you don't have anything to do or just want a movie to laze in the sofa with.
-
MCT:December 23, 2007
Good addition to the holiday movies. Art imitating life as we just had a local feud over a lighting display!!
-
MCT:December 21, 2007
This movie have many similar scenes from Christmas vacation and christmas with the kranks. The movie is about 2 neighbours "Danny Devito , Matthew Broderick" competing against each other in many areas like who has the best "christmas setup" .. A nice comedy anyway for some more christmas spirit..

They tried to make another Christmas movie that you can watch every year. But this one just doesn't cut it. It seems like it is missing a lot.

The lights may have been bright on the house but this film was as dull as it could be. 1 1/2 star
