Leave your thoughts about Noel.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[A] swirl of contrived Christmas Eve 'magic' that's forced and mostly phony and never quite hits the right notes... |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThis ensemble drama by screenwriter David Hubbard isn't perfect, but its harsh honesty and sincere faith in humanity make it genuinely uplifting. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThere's nothing at all surprising about Noel, except for the fact that it was ever made. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair[Director Chazz] Palminteri seems to have accepted the heavy-handed nature of the screenplay and embraced it whole-heartedly. |
| Village VoiceLeslie CamhiMost of the redemptive notes ring false, as does the mythical Manhattan, where the snow is just too clean and everybody lives around the corner. |
| FilmStew.comTodd GilchristFits snugly into the 'Christmas movie' canon by tapping into familiar problems, tugging at the heartstrings and stirring your tired soul. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerA holiday gift wrapped in sadness -- but tied tenderly with hope. |
| IGN MoviesJeff OttoDesperate for warm and fuzzy holiday feelings, Noel is depressing and bland. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere'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. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThe sentiments are right on the money, but the execution never quite filled me with holiday cheer. |
