Noel Reviews

nice'n'easy

nice'n'easy film with good

acting,only spoilt by cheesy ending.

Warm Feeling

A real good feel good film - perhaps more of a chick flick but when your feeling disappointed with friends/boyfrields/family rent this one and sit back until the end of the film. If it doesnot touch your heart strings ..........................

Tv movie?

This plays like a tv movie switched it off before the end before i fell into a coma.

Not worth renting.

even though its not Chiristmas.. this is a MUST SEE MOVIE

A real Heart Warming Film from start to finish, I loved it.. and be it Christmas Time or NOT.. this is a real must... a full on fantastic Cast.. and brilliant mini stories all run along side each other.. so film did not get boaring.. and of course Paul Walker is a Sex God.. so this was very pleasing on the eye. !! This film was way under exposed when it came out.. hence I have only just seen it.. but its FANTASTIC... Watch this and you wont be sorry.. its BRILLIANT.... 5* is just not enough..

Fairly enjoyable - wish it was Christmas when I watched it

If I had a brain I would remember all the films that have followed the formula that 'Noel' uses - which is to take a bunch of disconnected characters and some good stars, to introduce them haphazardly and without any obvious connection until finally a clue or two drops in that this will all come together at the end

This is New York weird and 'Friends'y with an excruciating scene involving Susan Sarandon standing up at the mike in a small bar to explain why she dislikes Christmas. Robin Williams provides his normal thin lipped smily support and Penelope Cruz does her lovely Latino look again. Most of the characters are weird or sad or both but in spite of all that I found myself following a cheesy ending saying 'not bad' - and I don't really know why - it just had an enjoyable feel and got you involved in trying to figure it out

oh dear!

what on earth is Susan Sarandon doing in this pile of sickly drivel? Pointless, nonsensical, unbelievable and really hammy acting. I would actually give this no stars whatsoever.

The first Noel

I really knew nothing about this movie, but was presently surprised. The tale geneously revolves lonely characters in the big city of New York at Christmas. Susan Sarandon plays a women who looking after her hospitalised Mother searching to find her own identity in this bleak at times story. Cleverly intertwined with other characters in such a style as Traffic or Crash the emotion is absorbing. Rent now.

Angels have wings, monsters have hair.

Not exactly memorable. Resists the temptation to be overly sentimental but may still squeeze a tear from your eye on Xmas Eve. On the other hand( to coin a rather apt phrase in this case)and on a strictly personal level, you may, like me, feel so repulsed by the extreme hairyness of Robin Williams that to find him believable as some kind of Xmas angel is too much. Werewolf, yes. He should do more of that kind of thing.

There is a Hell

Like Susan Saradon I an anti war but I'd be willing to pay good money to Bush's boys to drop a bomb onto her and this heap of camel droppings.

I'd like to say it is dire but it never remotely reaches such heights.

After watching this sickly melange you'll need a good dentist.

Enjoyable Movie with Christmas Flavour

Well acted,convincing how the characters interact, infects the emotions, shows how life is for some in New York over Christmas.

Good Christmas Movie.
