Critics can be stupid. I mean, they hate all kinds of films that are actually a ton of fun (i.e. Lnd of the Lost). This film is a prime example of that. A stupid film that's a lot of fun.
Steve Finch (Mathew Broderick) is the Christmas guy around town, but Buddy Hall (Danny DeVito) has moved in and decides to be seen from space. How? By hanging up more ligths than anyone, thus ruining Steve's Christmas guy crown. Wow!
Danny is always fun to watch and here is no exception. He has a nice touch around him that makes him likeable yet an enemy. Mathew Borderick is great as Steve, brings a sensibility to the character. There's also a ton of good gags abounding in this film that really are fun to watch. The film as a whole ain't a classic, but it is a blast anyway.
Rating: 7.8 out of 10 or B+
