A kind-of Rom Com Christmas Jingle Bell Heist Movie
As far as Christmas films go, Jingle Bell Heist lives up to that. I like Olivia Holt as Sophia- she's kind of sexy in a Christmas sort of way and plays the part well. The plot is kind of cringe mainly, I think, to the outlandish plot in the second act. It's hard to explain. By the resolution in the third act, things come together well enough for Jingle Bell Heist to qualify as a watchable film and not one that belongs on The Hallmark Channel.
It's certainly not one of my top Rom Coms that I like to watch for the pure sappiness and predictability of the story, but I can recommend it on a Sunday afternoon if you're down for a campy, somewhat love and capers story.

There is a good bit of DEI casting in the secondary characters but nothing too bad. The villain is a rich white male but his wife is good and
needs to teach him a lesson even though she's just as greedy as he is. The acting is ok but the writing is so implausible and not very good. These two bungling idiots are so dumb they would of realistically been caught 10 times over. They need to break in to a top of the line most secure safe that changes it's combination every 60 seconds and sends the code to a key fob or an app on your phone. Seriously? That's the worst safe security system you can have. This makes it much easier to break into the vault, you just have to steal the fob or the phone. This guy can hack into his security system at will and so whatever he wants and not get caught but never thinks to hack into the phone app? Apps are notorious for security flaws and making them vulnerable to hacking. Then there is the safe DNA scan to gain entry. I won't spoil it for anyone but if you see it's so stupid, that's not how DNA markers work, again worst security ever!!?? There's a lot of that kind of writing here. Despite that annoyances there are some genuine laughs and funny moments and we did make it all the way through. It is still watchable as a one time holiday film but not something I would ever watch again.
