One of the worst movies I've ever seen

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Review Date 2/3/2018PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN. Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review.In this film Dr. Wallace makes sure to go all out every year on Christmas decorations so that he can have the brightest and most festive house in his neighborhood. This year, he notices that his new neighbor has put up an even brighter and more lavish display. What is worse the new neighbor is former best friend ! So the fight is on when they declare war for the best Christmas decoration display in the neighborhood. After 5 minutes you know how it is most likely going to end but there is a few surprises along the way. The film however works and its nice and simple. Its very family friendly. It also has "The Christmas Spirit" that is written between the lines. The film entertains and it isn't preachy.

Two neighbours battle to win the best dressed Christmas house. It's a similar set up to both the UK film Christmas Lights and the US film Deck the Halls. As I enjoyed both of those films I thought I'd give it a go. Although not as good as either of those films, it still entertained me. It's totally predictable and you know what is coming right from the off but it at least manages to achieve what it's supposed to. It uses all the Christmas clichés but to honest that's what Christmas films are about. Although not riotously funny there are some gently amusing scenes. As a made for TV film this is one of the better ones and worth watching if you're in the mood for some festive spirit.

Whimsical tale of two neighbors- the guys were friends years ago in another place, but they had a falling out and haven't seen each other in years. Now, they find themselves as neighbors, living across the street from one another. Naturally, one has a son and the other a daughter so you know that there will be some teen romance involved.One has always engaged in having the nicest holiday decorations for each year's contest. The other decides to rival him in this and eventually the wives, who had been amenable at first, become bitter towards each other as well.Hallmark shows its traditional family holiday spirit by ending the comedy on a positive note-both guys put their differences aside to aid an elderly lady neighbor on the verge of losing her home. It's really in the tradition of the holiday and this enhances the film.Some good comedy routine here.
