Deck the Halls
when looking for something to watch tonight, i saw this and thought "yeah, sure, i'll just watch something easy". but deck the halls was not an easy watch. nothing is funny about this so-called 'comedy movie'. nothing.
matthew broderick gives a career-worst performance. in the 5 minutes he had in manchester by the sea, a much better movie, he plays a much more likeable and fleshed-out character than he does in the whole 90 minutes of this, and his bland, vanilla acting, (in this film, at least), only makes that worse.
and you would think that in the same year danny devito had his arrival in the main cast of the funniest show of all time, it's always sunny in philadelphia, that he would at least be somewhat funny in this. but i don't think that's his fault, as he is clearly doing his best with the terrible script he was given.
also, where was all of the humour? i'm not saying there wasn't jokes as there were plenty of those, i'm just saying that none of them were funny. it's not that i can't understand any of them either, it's just that they're not funny.
overall, not worth a watch at all, not even fred armisen could save this god-awful film.
