Noel movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: A handful of competent performances can't keep Noel from pulling its audience through a bleak, cheerless hour and a half. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: The nut-ball factor is just too high for these characters. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The kind of sappy, sadness-turns- to-gladness holiday movie that shows up on cable TV this time of year. Read more
Los Angeles Times: Palminteri draws some very good performances from his cast -- only to pile on a lot of shameless heart-tugging on top of a contrived script about five New Yorkers facing Christmas Eve alone. Read more
Kim Morgan, L.A. Weekly: Boasts just enough good acting to make up for the treacle. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Like way too many holiday films, it is shameless in its desperate grab at the heartstrings. What it latches onto firmly instead is the gag reflex, making you long for a dose of Maalox or at least another viewing of Bad Santa. Read more

Rex Reed, New York Observer: One of those unpleasant fiascoes meant to lodge a lump in the throat at Christmas, but it only ends up making you want to bludgeon the elves with their own toy-shop hammers. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I can be sentimental under the right circumstances, but the movie is such a calculating tearjerker that it played like a challenge to me. Read more
Leslie Camhi, Village Voice: Most of the redemptive notes ring false, as does the mythical Manhattan, where the snow is just too clean and everybody lives around the corner. Read more
