I loved it! We need more movies that touch our souls. Noel is an uplifting movie of hope and faith.

Critic Reviews

There's a point at which the plot crosses an invisible line, becoming so preposterous that it's no longer moving and is just plain weird.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Sentimental, borderline-bizarre Christmas movie that boasts just enough good acting to make up for the treacle.Full Review

L.A. Weekly

Though clearly meant as a heartwarmer in the longstanding holiday tradition, the film comes off as strange and sour.Full Review

Dave Kehr
The New York Times

Palminteri and screenwriter David Hubbard desperately want the crazy misfits in their movie to move the audience, but they're all too cracked to inspire empathy. There's no holiday magic, just famous faces playing people who don't exist.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion A.V. Club

A thick and gooey slice of holiday hokum.Full Review
