Critic Reviews
In this year's lump of coal, Matthew Broderick is the control freak who lives for toasty yuletide cheer, and Danny DeVito is the vulgar pest who wants his holiday lights seen from space. The dueling-neighbor crankfest is blah.
Read the full reviewLike a fatally snarled string of Christmas lights, Deck the Halls promises holiday cheer but delivers only frustration.
Read the full reviewMr. Broderick and Mr. DeVito look tired and out of sorts, and you can hardly blame them, given the picture's inept, curdled mixture of sappiness and crude humor.
Read the full reviewA lifeless, workmanlike comedy conceived to provide holiday shoppers an inoffensive respite from the mall.

Read the full reviewThe saddest part is that "Deck" wastes four comic talents ranging from the near-genius (Matthew Broderick, Danny DeVito) to the inspired (Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth ) to the charming (Kristin Davis of "Sex and the City").
Read the full reviewThe sheer nastiness of the jealous one-upmanship and angry sabotage puts a damper on the yuletide comedy. You're much better off watching a DVD of "Bad Santa."
