Dear Santa, please bring us yet another Christmas comedy where two families fight over some aspect of the holiday, before learning about the true meaning of life, love, reindeer and other things. Please load it with schmaltz and sugar and snow jokes…
Yes, there’s no stopping the previously announced family comedy Deck The Halls, which has Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick as warring neighbours who clash when one of them puts enough lights on his house to make it visible from space.
Now RV’s Kristin Chenoweth will add her high-pitched voice to the comedy, which John Whitesell will direct in Vancouver in June.
And if you are the child responsible for the above message – surely the only reason that Halls has been green lit, watch out. We are coming to break your pencils and steal your presents. That is all.
