There'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. ...read the complete Noel movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

A film about folks celebrating Christmas together is about as interesting and carries as much dramatic thrust as the 1989 Christmas reunion video immortalized on Uncle Fred's camcorder. ...read the complete Noel movie review at Arizona Daily Star (Phil Villarreal)

Noel (2004) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
Susan Sarandon starring in your movie ought to guarantee a box office bonanza, no? Well, not always. This terribly ill-advised film (which got only the barest of theatrical releases) is a textbook example of just about everything that guarantees disaster. ...read the complete Noel movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
Noel (2004) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
"Noel" tells the usual story of sad strangers who seek happiness on Christmas Eve, with the variation that most of the characters are stark staring mad. Christmas is a holiday fraught with hazards, anyway, and these people are clearly not up to it. Thanks ...read the complete Noel movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Noel (2004) scores a combined 1.60 out of 4 stars for The Onion (A.V. Club) (Noel Murray)The Onion (A.V. Club) (Noel Murray)
Palminteri and screenwriter David Hubbard desperately want the crazy misfits in their movie to move the audience, but they're all too cracked to inspire empathy. There's no holiday magic, just famous faces playing people who don't exist. ...read the complete Noel movie review at The Onion (A.V. Club) (Noel Murray)

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 the complete Noel movie review at Los Angeles Times (--)
