Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2025 film Jingle Bell Heist.
Story
They manage to meld the formula of a heist movie with the heart of a Christmas romance. It was happy, sad, stressful, twisty, and ends happily.
Score: 1
Characters
The two main characters could have been extremely bland but the actors were amazing and elevated them into real, feeling people.
Score: 1
Dialogue
The dialogue was good, especially when the two main characters were talking with each other, but there were times when they are talking about the heist where it felt very unnatural on the exposition.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
The movie had very muted colours but overall was still pretty and well shot.
The music was excellent, melding the Christmas songs with more dramatic score.
Score: 1
Fun
We guessed several of the twists before they happened but didn’t feel cheated by it. Everyone liked it. Not sure it’ll become a yearly rewatch but it was good.
Score: 1
Overall
A fun and well thought-out combination of rom-com and heist movie set at Christmas. The actors are phenomenal and the story will keep you guessing.
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
