If there was a Christmas themed film that failed to deliver any entertainment as completely as this one, I would like to know what it was.

I only watched it because I was unable to go somewhere else to see something on TV, and was pretty much stuck where I was.

I like Danny De Vito but he seemed to be wishing he were in some other movie here. I like Matthew Broderick but his character is kind of colorless. These actors were wasted in the movie and it is a shame. The other actors were lacking in appeal. I could not understand why any parent would think that maxing out his credit cards to do something as inane as decorating a house so brightly that it could be seen from space, at a time when he was fired from his job, would consider this a positive goal. Maybe he is just nuts. It was not a funny film in spite of or because of this theme.

Just bad.
