S15 Ep773: Deck the Halls

“Christmas is a sexual kink for both of them!” - Chris, on DeVito and Chenoweth’s characters

On this special holiday episode of WHM, we’re chatting about the absolutely unhinged, abhorrent, mid-aughts Christmas comedy, Deck the Halls! Are Danny DeVito and his hot family actually aliens? Why is Broderick’s character free-balling outside in his bathrobe? Why doesn’t the film conclude with the big winter festival they keep yammering about? Who would’ve thought we would be missing Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and their KRANKS characters? And wouldn’t comedy legend Charles Grodin have absolutely crushed the straight man role in this movie? PLUS: Is this Broderick’s worst movie? DeVito’s?

Deck the Halls stars Matthew Broderick, Danny DeVito, Kristen Davis, Kristen Chenoweth, Alia Shawkat, Dylan Blue, Kelly Aldridge, Sabrina Aldridge, Jorge Garcia, Gillian Vigman, and Fred Armisen as Gustave; directed by John Whitesell.
