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.

Jingle Bell Heist doesn’t overstay its welcome. It knows what its strengths are and sticks to them, leaning on classic heist film tropes and a charming cast.

Jingle Bell Heist is worth stealing your time, even if it is just for one Christmas and chill.

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.

Not too bad a Christmas movie. Certainly plenty worse in the recent crop of holiday movies.

Realmente es una pelicula muy lenta, escenas con poca lógica, actores que no conectan, rescato la actuación de Olivia Holt que se le ve el intento de llevar el peso de la pelicula, para una peli de navidad como otros clasicos del genero no le alcanza.

A silly, ridiculous, shallow, superficial film. Compared to Bad Santa, Ocean's Eleven, and Now You See Me, it's a complete zero. It plods along, less exciting than the flush of a toilet. The production lacks any sophistication, wit, suspense, or any kind of ambition that would make it worth spending time on. In this respect, it's a typical Netflix production, which serves only to fill the movie library with titles, no matter how bad they are. Translated with DeepL (https://dee.pl/apps), as I'm no native english speaker.

I thought it was a great movie! A few twist and turns perhaps not so predictable. This is the season of Hallmark movies that are feel good movies and I think this one fits perfectly.

The movie was okay, but very predictable and I didn't enjoy it too much. I also had a lot of trouble understanding the end credits scene. Overall, only watch it if you have nothing else better to do.

A story that had the expected elements of a heist, with a feature that occurred before the heist. The cast was new and had its surprises, with raw emotions, starting as "partners" in crime and then becoming partners. The way Olivia Holt brought the shocker was unexpected. Initially, I thought a heist was about taking something by stealing, but the way they presented it here was original and left a lasting impression. The chemistry between Nick and Sophia was toned down until it intensified at the end. The ending was understandable, but could have been better presented.
