...mein Nachbar ist nicht der Hellste
Wenn man in dem beschaulichen Provinznest Cloverdale in New England von “Mr. Christmas” spricht, kann nur Doktor Steve Finch gemeint sein. Seit Jahren zieht der Familienvater im letzten Monat des Jahres ein straffes Weihnachtsprogramm durch: basteln, singen, backen, Schlittenfahrten. Steve hat nicht nur das am schönsten geschmückte Haus, er ist auch hoch geschätzter Experte für alle Fragen rund um das Fest der Liebe. Doch eines Tages zieht der frustrierte Buddy Hall ins Nachbarhaus ein, der sich in den Kopf gesetzt hat, “Mr. Christmas” vom Thron zu stoßen. Er will sein Haus mit so vielen Lichterketten schmücken, dass man es vom Weltall aus sehen kann. Doch Steve gibt sich nicht kampflos geschlagen und rüstet ebenfalls auf.

A solid meh. A few good parts, but predictable and blah.
Has its moments, but this festive caper fails to shine as an example of the best that Christmas movies have to offer. Still, Broderick and DeVito are always good value.
After watching "The Nightmare Before Christmas" which really was a nightmare of a film, I think almost anything would seem like a dream. This film is more of what I was looking for on our festive night of films. I think I had seen the film but a long time ago, so I couldn't really remember it all that well. Nevertheless it was a very enjoyable film. I'm not sure about Matthew Broderick's skills as an actor. I didn't really feel as though he really believed who he was portraying. Throughout most of it he looked like he was acting, rather than making us believe he was the character. But as always, Danny DeVito was fantastic and almost any film that he's in will always be good. Special mention has to go to Robert Leader, the Christmas Light designer and anyone in his construction crew. The lights are spectacular and must have taken ages to put together. It's perhaps not a Must Watch, but it is still enjoyable to watch at Christmas time.
Just your everyday cheesy average christmas comedy with nothing magical, an alright team and a simple story plot about two guys battling to be the best Christmas guy.
This is my favourite Christmas movie:rofl:🎄✨
