Steve, a suburban dad and Christmas enthusiast, leads a well-ordered, well-planned, and well-organized life. When Buddy moves in living next to Steve, and especially when he decorates his house for the holidays so brightly, they go to war.

Laden with false climaxes, the overstuffed plot leaves you exhausted well before the movie ends, and the amiable actors sleepwalk through their uninspired roles.

The distasteful formula is even more sour and ham-handed than usual; Broderick's and DeVito's natural likeability never stands a chance.
