Scott's a blind man and everyone in the neighborhood seems to like him, which makes Neil even angrier. When they become coordinators of the neighborhood watch, things are bound to heat up.

A British take on Deck the Halls mixed with some Home Alone-type burglar antics, with Lee Mack and Chris McCausland as the main attractions. And it works pretty well, despite the limited ambitions of this film. It's mainly the addition of the blind character that makes this more enjoyable than it ought to be.

Don't expect anything too cinematic or grand, this is a made-for-streaming Christmas flick. The film is probably just the byproduct of the Christmassy poster that lures viewers around this time of year. But the two comedians do a solid job and there are some decent laughs spread around. Not too shabby.
