Customer Reviews of Noel (Flexplay 48-Hour DVD) - Amazon.com Exclusive
attempts to play to two incompatible audiences Ultra-realistic misery for six or seven characters for 85 minutes followed by happy endings that are improbable even by Christmas movie standards. <
> <
>People who like socialist realism will like the first 85 minutes but will throw up at the end. People who like Christmas movies will find the first 85 minutes torture, but if they stick it out, may like the last 5 minutes. <
> <
>Two of the characters (Sarandon and the cop) are relentlessly obnoxious throughout the movie. Two others (Alan Arkin and Penelope Cruz) are non-characters: their roles are one note. Two others (the Robin Williams character and the young guy who broke his hand) are sympathetic. All of them seem to be playthings of the gods, since every circumstance throws one more punch at them. <
> <
>This movie bears no resemblance whatsoever to "It's a Wonderful Life." I don't know why the Amazon reviewer is so desperate to promote this loser of a movie. <
> <
>The about-face done by the cop character was psychologically totally unrealistic. So, it's hard to rejoice with Penelope at the end. She's going to be miserable. <
> <
>There are several unintended belly-laughs in the movie. For instance, the cop's partner keeps harping on the old guy as a dangerous nut case. The first three or four times, it is understandable if annoying. But when the partner pops up at the cop's apartment door and immediately goes into the same song and dance, it's a hoot, like one of those slapstick routines from a silent comedy. <
> <
>Bottom line: there are so many good Christmas movies, many of which haven't gotten the attention they deserve. For example, have you seen "[[ASIN:B0002I7ZYY A Season For Miracles]]"? Or, if you like realism, "[[ASIN:B000C8STSK Silent Night]]". Or "[[ASIN:B000GYIPPW The Christmas Shoes]]". Or "[[ASIN:B00062WUVY A Holiday for Love]]". Or "[[ASIN:B000EWBNV4 Unlikely Angel]]". Do yourself a favor and buy one of these.
Deserves a place in your stocking
There are more than a few tugs on your heart strings but the melodies are mostly happy ones. Robin William's cameo appearance is a nice bonus. There's a bit of "magic" in the film but that's in keeping with Christmas. I'm glad I purchased this flm and I think the good feeling it leaves will make you happy if you do the same.
Loved it...loved it...loved it
What a beautiful film. It kept my interest throughout. It's original - not the same story told over and over only with different actors. It touched me and made me feel good. The cinematography, the acting, all excellent. I highly recommend it.
