There glows the neighborhood.

ComedyFamily

Determined to unseat Steve Finch's reign as the town's holiday season king, Buddy Hall plasters his house with so many decorative lights that it'll be visible from space! When their wives bond, and their kids follow suit, the two men only escalate their rivalry - and their decorating.

VIBE

This is a brightly lit, boisterous holiday romp that leans into the absurdities of suburban one-upmanship. Expect a frenetic pace, a cascade of visual gags, and a generally lighthearted, if occasionally exasperating, festive chaos. It's a film designed for easy, uncritical holiday cheer with a side of competitive silliness.
