Christmas Music Review: ***^Deck the Halls (2006)

When a new family moving into the neighborhood, the men feud over the Christmas decorations. This feud comes out in their Christmas lights.  They each want to do something meaningful, and one neighbor has a goal to make his house so  bright it can be seen from space.  Of course the neighbors have some issues, and he is noisy at night.  It seems everything he does disrupts the Christmas of his neighbor, and both men begin focusing on theirselves and they forget their families in the process.  When the women call them out, and both leave, the men have a chance to rethink things.
This movie has a very good cast, and it is the cast that make it work.  Danny Devito is the new neighbor and his wife is played by Kristen Chenoweth, Mathew Broderick the old neighbor and his wife Kristin Davis.  Jorge Garcia plays a townsman.  I found myself laughing at a scene where the neighbors are competing at the toss game, and a neighbor winds up and hits a lady walking by.  There are many other humorous scenes.
