Don't waste your time with a movie that seems merely to have been made to showcase as many name actors as humanly possible. Story? Im still not clear on what that may have been. It's not a movie I would tend to go see but I got roped intoDon't waste your time with a movie that seems merely to have been made to showcase as many name actors as humanly possible. Story? Im still not clear on what that may have been. It's not a movie I would tend to go see but I got roped into it and it couldn't have been more painful. At least each actor I can't stand is only in it for a handful of minutes. It seems like just long enough for them to pick up a paycheck really.… Expand

Ugh! Only one of the five or six different stroylines was even a tad bit interesting. Clearly, "NYE" is a vehicle built to attract an audience eager to walk down Hollywood Blvd. Two time Oscar winner Hillary Swank was simply a dud...OrUgh! Only one of the five or six different stroylines was even a tad bit interesting. Clearly, "NYE" is a vehicle built to attract an audience eager to walk down Hollywood Blvd. Two time Oscar winner Hillary Swank was simply a dud...Or should I say her character. Mr. Marshall has done this sort of thing before - thinking he will be exonerated from blame for a crappy script by providing the audience with a bunch of big names. Well, this small name thought this was a waste of time.… Expand

How was a movie like this made? My friend & I made a last minute decision to go to the movie and this was the only one playing, so we went. I am amazed that someone green-lit this film...it's horrible. From the drag-queen makeup on the ladiesHow was a movie like this made? My friend & I made a last minute decision to go to the movie and this was the only one playing, so we went. I am amazed that someone green-lit this film...it's horrible. From the drag-queen makeup on the ladies to BonJovi's red leather jacket that looked like it was from Brittany Spears tour circa 2002, then there's the plot and the writing...horrible. I stayed to watch because it was like a train wreck. I can write so much more, but I'll leave it at that. I guess I'm the biggest loser here because I paid to see it...but reader be warned.… Expand

Remember the 2003 film Love Actually? Of course you do. It was a British classic. And do you remember the 2010 film Valentineâ

Okay this is so bad, this is a bad way to make a movie, to many people in this movie the story is a jump around. The only good thing about this movie and why it gets a 1 because of the love in this movie.... But the acting was really bad.....

This was so painful. So, so painful. I'm not sure what the draw is to getting big casts and compiling them into crappy holiday movies, this and valentines day were a huge waste of time.

'New Year's Eve' is a manipulative comedy drama that tries to go for that "Feel-good" and sparkly tone, but unfortunately it boils down to a rather sappy comedy, with unrealistic characters and convenient plot points. We see many different'New Year's Eve' is a manipulative comedy drama that tries to go for that "Feel-good" and sparkly tone, but unfortunately it boils down to a rather sappy comedy, with unrealistic characters and convenient plot points. We see many different stories about people's day to day lives and what they plan to do during the special and "magical" night of New Year's Eve. Director Garry Marshall ('Pretty Woman' and 'Valentine's Day') continues his all-star and holiday themed comedy from what he did with 'Valentine's Day' (2010) and it still manages to be as bland and unconvincing as the last. Some of these stories include; Hilary Swank's character trying to make the best New Year's broadcast by having the iconic ball drop on midnight. Halle Berry is a nurse at a hospital who cares for a dying Robert DeNiro who really wants to see the ball drop from the roof of the hospital. Zac Efron is a mail delivery boy who attempts to make the list of Michelle Pfeiffer's wishes come true before midnight. Jessica Biel and Seth Meyers play a couple who are having a baby and hear about some $25,000 prize if the baby is born on midnight of New Year's, they begin to compete with another couple played by Sarah Paulson and Til Schweiger. Bon Jovi has stooped low as he tries to beg his ex-girlfriend Katherine Heigl for forgiveness, if I were him, if Heigl was someone who was mad at me, I would just live my life as normal. There are so many disconnected stories here, but all I could remember was wishing for that clock to strike midnight, so this movie would be over sooner. There is too much going on here, and the movie tries to go for that warm and fuzzy, sentimental tone, but it just comes off as emotionally manipulative. It also doesn't help that the characters are so bland and are nowhere near as unique as each other, even Chris "Ludacris" Bridges gives a very bland and uninterested performance. He looks and sounds so bored, I couldn't help but feel that he may have been doing an impression of me as I'm sat there watching this film. There is just too much nonsense going on here, I just wanted the clock to strike midnight so I could forget that I even saw this film. If you want to find a way to spend the night of New Year's Eve, do anything except watch this film, you will regret it if you do.… Expand
