Noelle is pleasant to watch, but is almost exclusively dependent on the heaping amount of charm that Anna Kendrick brings to the table.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2022

It's the time of year when Christmas films are pushed to the homepage of streaming services, and do you know what? We're not mad about it.

| Nov 29, 2021

Switch the Christmas tree lights on, grab some hot chocolate, wrap up in a blanket and enjoy this charming festive film!

A predictable affair with very little to leave anyone hooked. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 29, 2020

You'll have forgotten every last thing about Noelle by next Christmas, but that's almost a plus side to its flimsy charm - those baubles won't put themselves up.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 26, 2020

The proceedings are all so enthusiastic that one is easily charmed. And gosh darn it, but Kendrick is swell and so darn likable.

| Nov 24, 2020

If you're looking to placate some rowdy children or cranky grandparents this holiday season, then Noelle will hit the spot. But if you're looking for a new Christmas tradition, Santa's sister can't deliver - at least, not in the ways we'd wished for.

If you grew up on Disney Channel original movies and/or love Hallmark Holiday films, this is a MUST WATCH. Otherwise, if you are still interested, continue reading.

Over all, Noelle is subpar - but it's silly, harmless fun. It's so forgettable it'll be virtually erased from your memory five minutes after the end credits roll.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 3, 2019

...an appealing premise that's employed to passable yet rarely enthralling effect by Lawrence...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 2, 2019

Noelle wears its heart on its sleeve, but for Christmas movies, that's rarely a bad thing. Thanks to committed performances from the cast, it overcomes a fairly basic plot.

| Original Score: 2.5 | Nov 28, 2019

Noelle isn't the kind of cinematic present that is wrapped in the finest paper bearing colorful bows and ribbons. It's the gift your aunt and uncle wrapped in old newspaper. However, you'll be happy with what you find inside.

| Nov 27, 2019

This entry is the most colorful and traditionally jolly of the newcomers and as such, pretty silly.

| Nov 26, 2019

Noelle is a movie I can see myself watching every holiday season, like Elf and The Santa Clause, Anna Kendrick is instantly likable and charming.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 19, 2019

Whatever your idea of a sentimental connect-the-dots Christmas comedy is, this is sub that.

| Nov 17, 2019

'Noelle' is reheated egg nog that has lost its joyful flavor.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 16, 2019

Disney focuses its crowd-pleasing hive mind on the world of Hallmark movies, with surprisingly strong results.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2019

[The] script relies too much on Christmas-themed puns ... and a narrative that is predictable and dimwitted.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 15, 2019

Make some hot chocolate, throw on some comfy PJs, and put "Noelle" on for a breezy Saturday morning watch. After that, it won't be long before it disappears into the pathos of the Disney engine and off your radar for good.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 15, 2019

Xmas comedy has predictable storylines, positive messages.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 15, 2019
