None of this intrigue is terribly inspired, let alone credible, but it’s handled with a certain panache.

It’s not just 'Netflix holiday rom-com good.' It’s actually very, very good.

While there’s nothing all that remarkable about the streamer’s latest festive effort, crime caper turned romcom Jingle Bell Heist, there’s just about enough to give it an edge over its more anemic peers.

A thoroughly enjoyable rom-com that offers something a little different to the traditional festive fare.

Jingle Bell Heist is better than it should be, given its disposition as a holiday-themed heist movie — which is made abundantly clear by the film’s title.

Jingle Bell Heist doesn’t overstay its welcome. It knows what its strengths are and sticks to them, leaning on classic heist film tropes and a charming cast.

Jingle Bell Heist separates itself from Hallmark Christmas movies by not being overtly cheesy. It's small bit crime, fewer laughs and a dash of egg nog.

Wasn't a fan of this movie, the title "jingle Bell heist" really did sound good u watch it, it's really nothing special. Very predictable. 1 star as they tried and it sounded gd. Ppl pulling a heist on Christmas who wouldn't wanna watch that lol

The way this film started, I thought I was going to be pleasantly surprised by this Netflix, straight-to-streaming Christmas film. Unfortunately, Jingle Bell Heist fails to deliver an exciting story because of its repetitive plot and underwhelming performances. I’ll give credit where credit is due: Jingle Bell Heist has some surprising twists and turns. Regardless, the script for this film feels juvenile and the Christmas spirit seems minimal in comparison to other films of the genre. Jingle Bell Heist is mindless, but sometimes that can be exactly what one needs this Christmas season. Unfortunately, I think there are even better choices for mindless holiday films.

Not too bad a Christmas movie. Certainly plenty worse in the recent crop of holiday movies.
