Great music in otherwise-blah LGBTQ+ romcom; drinking.

Though it's a better quality film than most holiday gay Lifetime romance films, it still comes across as a gay Lifetime romance film.

Indeed, what allows I Hate New Year's to rise above some of the other queer holiday romances this year is that it actually gives the viewer a romance worth rooting for.

Director Christin Baker uses all the props of social media and the standard nuances of a classic New Year's Eve night out to deliver a "happy and gay" comedic love story, one that will be happily rewatched every holiday season.

This is my new favorite movie because it's the kind of movie I've always wanted to see: 1) Feel-Good Holiday Romantic Comedy 2) Two Asian American Women Leads 3) Great Music and 4) Friends to Lovers.

I Hate New Year's, is a fun movie to watch to get in the spirit of love, hope and perseverance. The application of beautiful songs to help tell the story is a bonus. The actors are witty and humorous at times. I recommend this movie to anyone who has struggled through finding new love.

I LOVED this! It was sweet, low stress, easy to watch with fantastic music. The actors have great chemistry. I watch a lot of Hallmark holiday movies to help make things feel more seasonal and this is in the same genre. I'll be rewatching on New Years Eve

It was a cute and refreshing queer love story that we needed. I'm happy it's not like the other lesbian movies where they have to pretend to be straight because they're not out and it's a very toxic environment etc etc.... The cast is diverse and the singing was beautiful. Everyone was sweet, supportive, and accepting. The moral of the story was so heartfelt and it's a story that I could rewatch over again. There are corny bits, but it's funny. Worth the money to watch and support these artists. I hope there are more positive queer movies like this in the future because it's super important for all ages. If I saw this when I was younger, it would be life changing to see such love and acceptance to live your truth. I love it. I'm thankful for this movie.
