The Naughty Nine

Director Alberto Belli’s film features consistently energetic performances by its young cast, offering a families a gift that won’t wear out its welcome in years to come.

A charming family film for the holidays

The Naughty Nine’s brand of whimsicality actually situates it more comfortably as a family-friendly watch than a pure Christmas movie, lacking as it is in the particular atmosphere viewers often flock to holiday films for.

While The Naughty Nine brings a fun Ocean’s Eleven energy to the holidays, it feels like a prequel to something bigger. The young cast brings a lot of charisma to their roles, but I wish they tapped into Andy’s conflicting feels [...] more.

The Naughty Nine is an entertaining film that is full of holiday fun for the whole family. Just keep an eye on your kiddos after watching to make sure they don’t start planning hell-raising heists of their own!

The Naughty Nine falls short in capturing the holiday spirit to make this a memorable film.
