It would have been 10out of 10 film for me but you spoiled it at the end when the vet came with the dog and she ended up marrying him,just ruined the film altogether,made me feel like ishouldnt have even botherd watching it, when the young kid and his mum was looking out of the window you should have had nick coming down from the sky on the sledge looking like Santa then turned back into nick when he lands in the garden jumps off the sledge with the dog goes up to the door where the mother and child great him ,nick says to her in front of the family , you should always believe in miracles then she kisses him and asks him to stay then they get married at the end.

Recently widowed "Beverly Hills 90210" TV alumni Gabrielle Carteris (as Holly) is not ready to date the many men who find her attractive. She finds new next-door neighbor Steve Bacic (as Nickolas "Nick" St. Clair) annoying, even more so when father-in-law Ken Pogue (as Jack) hires him to work marketing for their "Dreamland Toys" store. However, Ms. Carteris' eight-year-old son Josh Hayden (as Ben) finds Mr. Bacic appealing. He tries to hook his mom up with Bacic. Young Hayden, who seems a little old for this, has asked God and Santa to bring back papa. There is also some intrigue about Bacic having a secret Christmastime identity. He has a sleigh, wears red, and works with little people...

**** Deck the Halls (12/12/05) George Mendeluk ~ Gabrielle Carteris, Steve Bacic, Josh Hayden, Ken Pogue

This is a family movie with appeal to all ages. Steve Bacic plays a Nick whom some people call St. Nick. He is full of the Christmas spirit and playful. Holly is all about the rules.

Nick's assistants look a lot like elves. They do some strange things.

The story is a bit of fantasy but not much exciting.

The ending might be a surprise, but it won't fool some viewers.

I love Christmas Movie but I got bored with this Movie and I just wanted it to end. I think that I've seen a lot of Movie with the same plot as this one. Which made it a bit more boring for me, It was slow pasted, and I didn't like the acting. I found its more of an adults Movie as we don't really see much of Ben. And it did talk about inappropriate things so its not really a family Movie, and I wasn't a fan of the music that was used.

I just kept waiting for something to really happen and there just wasn't any character development. The boy playing Ben looked to old for the role and the Movie had gay jokes which I didn't like and was not funny. it covers things like death of a family member, which I think should be more talked about in movies and books but I don't think its a good Movie to watch if you have lost a family or a dog though

I really liked The dog, the dog was funny-especially in a street hockey game But didn't have much scene time. :(

It's wonderful to see a sentimental, funny, Christmas film with romance, Santa, elves and reindeer. For a change Christmas wasn't marginalized. In a way, it is reminiscent of "Miracle on 42nd Street". A perfect holiday movie for young and old alike. Great family experience. Loved the music. Actors Steve Basic and Josh Hayden's performance were touching. A great duo. The dog was funny-especially in the street hockey game. And Rudolph- I can't remember seeing him in a movie for a long time.Gabrielle was a bit harsh as a character, but in a typical Scrooge tradition. Inspiring message. Look forward to seeing it every year!
