Plot: A group of disparate characters look for understanding and compassion in the midst of a lonely holiday season in this comedy drama. Rose (Susan Sarandon) is a middle-aged divorcée whose mother is in the hospital with an advanced case of Alzheimer's disease; while Rose wants one more chance to tell her mother that she loves her, the woman doesn't even know who she is anymore. Mike (Paul Walker) is a police officer who has become the obsessive focus of an elderly waiter, Artie (Alan Arkin), who is convinced Mike is the reincarnation of his late wife. Meanwhile, Mike is engaged to marry the beautiful Nina (Penélope Cruz), but he's so consumed with jealousy and suspicion that she's not sure if she can go through with the wedding. And Jules (Marcus Thomas) is a street hustler who has only one fond memory of Christmas -- ending up in an emergency room, where the staff was holding a party. Jules wants to relive the experience, and is even willing to injure himself to do so. Noel was the first directorial effort from actor and playwright Chazz Palminteri. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Alan Arkin thinks the main character is the reincarnation of his former lover...a little too gay for me; not something I considered in line with a Christmas movie.

Wonderful Tale of Christmas Warmth and Kindness

I loved this movie, especially seeing an old friend in the character as Dennis (Sonny Marinelli), the partner to Paul Walker's Mike. Susan Sarandon, Penelope Cruz, Robin Williams, all give a stellar performance in this lovely holiday movie. Hope to see these people in other movies together, as they were wonderful to watch.

A 'Slice of life", Christmas drama.
Added 12/8/2008

An utterly charming, and dramatic Christmas story that delves into the real life issues that affect so many people during the holiday season.The acting is superb, and enhances an already intriguing story premise that follows the lives of realistic characters trying to deal with the issues in their lives during the hard, cold, stark reality of the Christmas season. Definitely a film that will have meaning to a lot of People. Have a few Kleenex at hand.....
