Noel (2004)
Noel is one of the worst Christmas movies ever made, and definitely one of the most depressing movies out there. Unless you hate the holiday, want to continue hating it, and think it’s good fun to hear other people’s Christmas horror stories, don’t watch it. Yes, there’s the draw of a big cast: Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker, Chazz Palminteri (who also directed), and Alan Arkin. But it’s seriously disturbing. Death and violence are at the heart of the story, which strives to weave strangers together during the holiday season. Susan’s mother is dying from Alzheimer’s, Susan herself considers suicide, Paul beats up his wife, Alan is deranged, Robin’s lost faith in God. . . Need I go on? There’s even a scene at a bar where people tell their worst Christmas stories, and whoever wins gets a free drink. The poor unfortunate soul “wins” by talking about her dead child.
Seriously folks, save your holiday spirit. At the time, it was the most upsetting movie I’d ever seen. Unfortunately, now I’ve seen others that were worse; but still, I would urge you to stay very far away from this movie – especially during Christmastime.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to adult and upsetting content, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it.
