Excellent but underrated film
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Harmless Christmas Movie the family will enjoy. In this film a new neighbor moves in. See Wallace makes sure to go all out every year on Christmas decorations so that he can have the brightest and most festive house in his neighborhood. This year, he notices that his new neighbor has put up an even brighter and more lavish display. However this new neighbor is an old friend but they became bitter enemies years ao. Now The fight is on when they declare war for the best Christmas decoration display in the neighborhood.What I loved about this film was that they had a great cast and the film was never boring!
View MoreTwo neighbours battle to win the best dressed Christmas house. It's a similar set up to both the UK film Christmas Lights and the US film Deck the Halls. As I enjoyed both of those films I thought I'd give it a go. Although not as good as either of those films, it still entertained me. It's totally predictable and you know what is coming right from the off but it at least manages to achieve what it's supposed to. It uses all the Christmas clichés but to honest that's what Christmas films are about. Although not riotously funny there are some gently amusing scenes. As a made for TV film this is one of the better ones and worth watching if you're in the mood for some festive spirit.
View MoreBob Wallace makes sure to go all out every year on Christmas decorations so that he can have the brightest and most festive house in his neighbourhood. This year, he notices that his new neighbour, and his former best friend, has put up an even brighter and more lavish display. The fight is on when they declare war for the best Christmas decoration display in the neighbourhood........Its obvious that this is a TV remake of Deck The Halls, starring the bloke from Home Alone, hoping that people hadn't seen the former, but recognised Stern, or possibly Frewer from The Taking Of Beverly Hills.And it's all predictable stuff, nothing you haven't seen before, and it won't be surprising to see a dozen more of these types of Christmas films in the next couple of years.Why? Because they are all perfunctory, and have a lovely message, and they do the trick, despite the fact that the child actors are face punchingly awful.Stern and Frewer are okay, it's not funny, but its short and not offensive in the slightest.
View MoreI saw for first time last night,It's bit like the movie Deck the Hall (2006)Well this movie, neighbours who are in the competition for the best Christmas decorations, to the extremes.This movie dose have a small back story, Bob Wallace makes sure to go all out every year on Christmas decorations, however this year new neighbours who have just moved that day, have put up there up.When his wife force him to see the new neighbours, it turns out that the men are carrying on a rivalry that started back in high school, as they used to be Old best Friend before they fell out.This movie dose have some really funny moments, there also the teen love things going on, which seem little too forced.They could have done better casting in this movie as kids and teens were really wooden at times.And the wife's early 30's, looks so much younger then husbands who looks like in his 70's.Overall all, it's was Fun sweet movie (If you liked Deck the Hall, you might like this).
