Heyo! Happy Holidays! This is the first post that was kind of requested. I put up a poll on my Twitter [@McCartheEvita] and the only vote was my reaction to Noelle.
I still don't have WiFi. Went all 2019 without WiFi. Its been a year but I kept up this blog somewhat.
Noelle is a Disney+ original. If you don't have Disney+ I'm sorry. You should get it if you can afford it. My mom got it as an early Christmas gift for me because I have been dying for it since it was announced.
This post will include spoilers so if you haven't seen Noelle and don't want to know how it ends go check out another one of my posts. I have many.
Let me start off by saying I am not the biggest Anna Kendrick fan so when I first saw the banner for it on the Disney+ app I wasn't planning on watching it. I don't dislike her. I just don't care for her. But then I saw a banner with Bill Hader whom I love with all my soul. I used to get teased for liking him because he was just the funny SNL guy when I was crushing on him hard in high school. Now he's taken more seriously and EVERYONE loves him. But its what he deserves.
Anyway I saw Bill Hader and I was like "oooh" and I decided to watch it one night when I couldn't sleep. I was expecting it to be cheesy. It was cheesy in the best ways. Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader played the kids of Santa Claus, Noelle and Nick, respectively.
Nick is the next Santa in line. So after their dad passes he has to take up the reigns of the sleigh. However, Nick ain't too good at being Santa. So Noelle jokes that he should take a vacation and come back fresh and ready for Christmas. He leaves and disappears leaving everyone in the North Pole confused and worried. The elder elves, wrongly, call for the next male in the family tree which is Noelle and Nick's cousin played by Billy Eichner. I love Eichner but I hated his character in this film.
Noelle goes to Phoenix, Arizona to find her brother because that's where he went according to her magazines. She goes after him and hires a private investigator to help her. The PI is this single dad named Jake. A bunch of shenanigans ensue and Noelle finds Nick, but he is now a yogi and doesn't want to be Santa. Throughout the film its revealed that Noelle has the powers all Santas have, which Nick is lacking.
In the end its revealed that Noelle is the true Santa all along and I cried. I cried when the little girl at the shelter called/signed Santa.
The movie as a whole was really good. I enjoyed it. I am a sucker for cheesy Christmas movies. I loved how in the end Santa was a girl. However, regarding the real life debate I'm not bothered. I'm okay with Santa being a dude, however if there ever is a female Santa sign me up to be a mall Santa.
Anyway, the writing was a bit lacking, but I'm not mad because its a kids movie and its not meant to be a cinematic masterpiece. Its a movie I would recommend to any family with young kids. Or any family. The youngest in my household is 17 and I want my whole family to watch this movie.
The casting was good. Again, I love Bill Hader with all my heart. Billy Eichner is an icon. And Anna Kendrick made me cry. So that's a thing.
If you like cheesy Disney movies or if you like cheesy Christmas movies this is the film for you.
Sorry this post was so short and quick. I'm trying to get a bunch of posts done before the year is over.
