Movie Review Money Quote Dept.

Hey kids! Get your coats and let's go to the movies! There must be something playing to help us get into the holiday spirit. Oh, here we go:

Deck The Halls spends 90 flailing, graceless minutes making horrible people do horrible, vaguely criminal things to each other before flooding the audience in a warm bath of sticky, unearned sentimentality.

Never mind, kids. Let's just stay home and watch something more festive and cheerful. Like, say, Santa vs. the Snowman.
