None of this intrigue is terribly inspired, let alone credible, but it’s handled with a certain panache.

It’s not just 'Netflix holiday rom-com good.' It’s actually very, very good.

While there’s nothing all that remarkable about the streamer’s latest festive effort, crime caper turned romcom Jingle Bell Heist, there’s just about enough to give it an edge over its more anemic peers.

3/5

As a cosy, light-hearted yarn with a cheery holiday gloss and some romance thrown in for good measure, it delivers a little more than the average Hallmark TV landfill.

The time I spent watching Jingle Bell Heist is time I’ll never get back. The pacing is slow, which kills the jokes and sight gags. And there is no chemistry between Holt and Swindells, which kills the vague romantic aspect of their relationship.

3/5

The plot is a little unique, not utilizing the same tired premise of a girl returning to her hometown and reuniting with her former love, which helps to make this more fresh and enjoyable.

I'm not much into the Christmas feel good movies like this. I tend to stay clear of anything that smells of Hallmark, however, I loved this movie. Really good acting, (for the script), standard plot line, but the bad guy is just cheeky enough to want to see him go down. Probably should have taken the wife along with him, but we needed her to finish the movie. See it. I will probably watch this again next year.

Don’t see how this got bad reviews. It was a feel good movie with likable characters and some nice twists at the end. I really enjoyed this movie.

Really? It's ok to steal off shopkeepers if they just object to people driving business away from their shop?

It was a sweet movie! A lot better than many of the others out there. A couple of little twists even. It was actually an enjoyable watch, would watch it with my kids even.

Yet another Hallmark-style Christmas movie that my wife made me watch. As far as these movies go, this one was fine. I even laughed a few times.
