A Novel Noel

Despite this being a movie made in 2024, I had never actually heard about it. But of course, sappy Christmas movies is usually not my go-to type of entertainment. But every now and again during December will I sit down and binge-watch sappy Christmas movies, and 2024 turned out to be one such year. And thus, I had the opportunity to sit down and watch writer Betsy Sullenger and director Michael Robison's 2024 movie "A Novel Noel".

Thumbs up to writer Betsy Sullenger on the accomplishment of the script, as it proved to be a rather enjoyable storyline. I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the movie. And it was a script that combined elements of what apparently makes a good sappy Christmas movie; that being romance, a pinch of drama, the spirit of Christmas, an idyllic setting, and a feel-good sensation. And the movie had all that in a good mixture.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, though leading actress Julie Gonzalo did seem somewhat familiar, but I just couldn't put any movie or series to her face. I will say that leading actress Julie Gonzalo really made this movie all the more enjoyable, because she put on a very committed and spirited performance. She carried the movie quite wonderfully. In fact, all of the cast actually put on good performances, but Julie Gonzalo she stood out as being extraordinary.

If you enjoy sappy Christmas movies, then you definitely should check out director Michael Robison's 2024 movie "A Novel Noel". I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 84 minutes that the movie ran for. And it is certainly a movie that I would recommend for fans of the sappy Christmas holiday movies.

My rating of "A Novel Noel" lands on a six out of ten stars.
