In its glorious extravagance, and its cheerful disinterest in apologizing for same, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey captures a certain essence of the Christmas spirit. Go to Full Review

A sprawling musical extravaganza whose candy-colored, dandily overstuffed revelry spills over with joy and jubilance and every other happy J-word. Go to Full Review

It's the filmic equivalent of the high that comes from eating way too many candy canes and drinking way too much hot chocolate. Go to Full Review

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is the Black Chistmas story we’ve all been waiting for. The film has a big screen vibe with high production, a bombastic soundtrack, and a slew of actors that give it their all to tell this heartwarming holiday story. Go to Full Review

Monica M. @Travelluv225 12h A family favorite holiday movie tradition. Beautifully written and acted with a phenomenal cast and fantastic choreography and costumes. it wonderfully delivers holiday magic!! See more Colton S. @Phant0m 1d Im sorry. The plot was un original and the pacing was extremely slow and boring. Go back to the original holiday favs. See more Brett W 4d From a cruelly-discerning, high-brow holiday movie-lover, Jingle Jangle is an instant Yuletide classic of the 21st century (alongside The Green Knight, Carol, The Holdovers, Elf, and Violent Night), filled to the brim with authentic cinema magic, vibrant characters, emotion that's earned, not cheaply manipulated, Forest Whitaker reminding us why he's a silver screen legend, and a soundtrack worthy of space on your iPod. In the words of Gustafson, "The wow factor alone will knock your socks off." See more Neil M @Egmawesome 4d It’s a great film but a bit longwinded See more Matt M @Mattrocket Dec 14 The acting was great. Music was decent. I found some of the dancing and such was out of place with the movie but not a deal breaker. I truly enjoyed watching this movie. See more Natasha R Dec 7 Loved this one! Great music - fun holiday story - what's not to love!? See more Read all reviews
