Noel
It's Christmas Eve in New York City, and with a little help from each other, five people seeking a miracle will discover new meaning on Christmas Day. Jules finds the courage to step beyond his past; Artie's own tragic history shows Mike where jealousy can lead, bringing renewal to his relationship with Nina; and Rose discovers new hope as Charlie, an unexpected friend, reminds her that no one is ever truly alone at Christmas.

There's nothing at all surprising about Noel, except for the fact that it was ever made.

If you are looking for a Christmas film that is unconventional, that has a lot of heart without wallowing in sentimentality, this is a good bet.

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.

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.

Pleasantly watchable.

I can be sentimental under the right circumstances, but the movie is such a calculating tearjerker that it played like a challenge to me.

The kind of sappy, sadness-turns- to-gladness holiday movie that shows up on cable TV this time of year.

The sentiments are right on the money, but the execution never quite filled me with holiday cheer.

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.

I had a very hard time displaying malice to this.

The nut-ball factor is just too high for these characters.
