Noel Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
A handful of competent performances can't keep Noel from pulling its audience through a bleak, cheerless hour and a half.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Though clearly meant as a heartwarmer in the long-standing holiday tradition, Chazz Palminteri's film comes off as strange and sour.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Longino
The kind of sappy, sadness-turns- to-gladness holiday movie that shows up on cable TV this time of year.
New York Daily News
Robert Dominguez
The mawkishness meter is turned up full blast by the time Williams, wearing the hangdog expression he saves for maudlin dramas, shows up out of nowhere as a former priest to save an unhappy Sarandon from jumping into the East River.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I can be sentimental under the right circumstances, but the movie is such a calculating tearjerker that it played like a challenge to me.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Except for die-hard students of extremely bad movies, Noel isn't worth seeing.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Noel manages to get considerable mileage out of a series of unpredictable and nutty spiritual flights of fancy.
Observer
Rex Reed
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.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
The nut-ball factor is just too high for these characters.
Village Voice
Leslie Camhi
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Hubbard's script is so steeped in sludgy sentimentality that the film's early hints of quirkiness quickly give way to heavy-handed faith healing.
TV Guide
Angel Cohn
The all-star cast do their best, but the individual stories are so truncated that they can't do much in the way of giving their characters real emotional depth.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Noel delivers two astonishing scenes of love and forgiveness that will take your breath away and are perfectly in tune with the miraculous nature of Christmas.
Pasadena Weekly
John Esther
I can think of 59,054,087 people who are intellectually deprived enough to buy into "Noel."
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.
FilmStew.com
Todd Gilchrist
Fits snugly into the 'Christmas movie' canon by tapping into familiar problems, tugging at the heartstrings and stirring your tired soul.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
A holiday gift wrapped in sadness -- but tied tenderly with hope.
Modamag.com
Susan Granger
Three tear-jerking stories about faith, love and the redemptive spiritual power of a frosty Christmas Eve
E! Online
Santa discontinued that whole coal-in-the-stocking thing a while back. Now, he brings movies like this one when you're bad.
