Story:

 If one talks about „Mr. Christmas” in the small town Colverdale in New England, only doctor Steve Finch (Maththew Broderick) can be meant. Every last month of the year the family men pushes a strict Christmas program through: tinker, singing, baking, and sledging. Steve not only owns the best decorated house but is also an appreciated expert for all questions concerning the festival of love. But one day, frustrated Buddy Hall (Danny DeVito) moves into the neighbour house, who then put in his head to bump Mr. Christmas of his throne. He wants to decorate his house with such an amount of fairy lights, that his house can be seen form outer space. But Steve doesn’t wanna give in and starts arming as well…………..

Evaluation:

Who ever would like to have Christmassy feelings at home already, should watch this movie. It’s a nice movie with a happy ending. A movie for the whole family;  for Sunday afternoons, when its raining outside….. But apart from that, I don’t understand how Danny DeVito accomplishes always looking the same in each and every movie he acts in. really its amazing. Is he getting older????
