Since she was a very
little girl her father, Santa Claus encouraged Noelle Kringle (Anna Kendrick)
to ensure everyone at the North Pole kept their Christmas Sprit as well as
supporting and encouraging her brother Nick (Bill Hader), who was ordained to
take over as Santa when the time came.
Well, the time came, and
Nick was not ready, despite all the training and support and gets cold feet, so
Noelle suggests he gets away from the North Pole for a couple of days right
before Christmas to clear his head, but the sleigh and the reindeer return but
Nick doesn’t.
Everyone at the Pole
is angry with Noelle when Nick disappears, so she has to go on a funny and
heartfelt journey to Phoenix to find him accompanied by Elf Polly (Shirley MacLaine).
She employs the
services of Private Detective Jake Hapman (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and finds Nick
teaching at a Yoga Studio, and he makes it perfectly clear he is not cut out to
be Santa and will not be returning.
However, on her
journey it becomes quite apparent that her Fathers gifts have passed to her and
not her brother and she is destined to take over the family business
Noelle is a lovely
Christmas movie and was a joy to watch.
