Deck The Halls / Jingle All The Way

DECK THE HALLS

There glows the neighbourhood.

A family comedy about one-upmanship, jealousy, clashing neighbours, home decoration and the true spirit of the holidays.

Steve (Matthew Broderick), a suburban dad and Christmas enthusiast, leads a well-ordered, well-planned and well-organised life. His new neighbour, Buddy (Danny DeVito) is Steve's polar opposite: a big personality with big dreams, which have yet to materialise. But Buddy's latest dream to create the biggest holiday light display in the world, visible from outer space - is turning Steve's disciplined world into a chaotic nightmare. As Buddy's home explodes with festive lights of incredible design, increasing complexity and exponentially growing wattage, Steve becomes a man on a mission. At any cost, he will thwart Buddy or top him.
