I started watching this with certain trepidation - one likes to see lighthearted and fun Christmas movies at this time of year, but they usually end up being so cheesy and bad that you stop watching them after ten minutes. Not this time: Noelle manages to be fun and entertaining all the way through and even the bad jokes fit the mood perfectly. Unfortunately, the movie is also riddled with advertisements and pointedly long shots at certain storefronts and their logos. Somehow, they have tried to mix an endearing message of Christmas love and helping those who are less fortunate with an exceeding amount of commercialism.
