Best Christmas movies set in each state

By Reed Gaudens

HOME ALONE - Eight year old Kevin MacAllister (Macaulay Culkin) gets lost in the shuffle as his large, upper-middle class suburban family rushes to make a plane that will ferry them off to their Christmas vacation in France; Kevin, having been banished to an attic room as punishment, is subsequently forgotten. At first this is a dream come true, as for the first time in his young life he has no one to answer to but himself, and he takes full advantage of his newfound freedom, eating junk food and watching late-night horror flicks. But when the bumbling Wet Bandits Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern) target his house for a robbery, Kevin must step up to defend his home; he sets a maze of booby traps so elaborate that only an eight year old imagination could concoct them.

Massachusetts: Deck the Halls

Release Year: 2006

Directed By: John Whitesell

Starring: Danny DeVito, Matthew Broderick, Kristin Davis, Kristin Chenoweth, Alia Shawkat, Dylan Blue, Jorge Garcia, Fred Armisen, Gillian Vigman, Ryan Devlin

In a year when Christmas celebrations will have to be more oriented with outward presentations of the holiday than the usual close, personal gatherings, there’s no better movie to get inspiration from than Deck the Halls. Matthew Broderick stars as optometrist and Christmas enthusiast Steve Finch, who plans to make the holiday special for his wife and children. However, when his new neighbor Buddy Hall (Danny DeVito) moves in and makes a play for Steve’s Christmas expertise with an exorbitant display of decorations and lights, the fight for Christmas superiority gets ugly.

Deck the Halls takes place in a small Massachusetts town, though it was filmed in Canada, as you’ll find a vast majority of Christmas movies often are. The film received remarkably bad reviews from critics with a meager 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, and failed to pick up steam at the box office. But how can you go wrong with Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito in a fun, mindless holiday comedy about dueling Christmas fanatics? Of course, you could travel to Massachusetts for Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles as well to further deck the halls with holiday cheer.
