What to Know

Critics Consensus

Shallow, sappy, and dull, New Year's Eve assembles a star-studded cast for no discernible purpose.

To keep it short and sweet: the movie is messier than Times Square at 3 a.m. on January 1st. Go to Full Review

New Year's Eve is a perfect example of why the adjective "Hollywood" is so often used as a pejorative. Go to Full Review

Forget counting down from 10 as the ball drops in Times Square; here instead is a countdown of the 10 key points in the dismal New Year’s Eve. Go to Full Review

The comedy fulfills its industrial purpose, but it reveals that when discourse replaces conflict, the narrative loses its foundation. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

2/5
The stories are cheesy, all the stars overact and the direction... is disgracefully slack, but if you're watching in a spirit of holiday goodwill then its fuzzy warm-heartedness is passably entertaining. Go to Full Review

Anna K @Annapage 5d It is a temu version of love actually, its a perfect Sunday morning cheese fest in bed. Its cute See more Blu B Jan 2 This is probably the most boring Holiday film I have ever seen. Not the worst but my god...the pacing is just nonexistant. The fact this has every single actor possible puts in Movie 43 territory for how much it wastes the talent. The acting & cinematography suprisngly isn't good. The jokes are just flat nonstop, the dialouge is nothing special,and the characters half of these people are given is either on par or one step above a Hallmark movie. It's lots of on location but it somehow looks cheap and basic direction. The music is generic and forgettable stuff too. The editing is terrible also. DeNiro's arc is probably the most memorable for em and the one I would've wanted to see more of. But this must have heck I lost count like over a dozen storylines of couples having kids, dying, falling in love, and just doing nonsense. There all seperate storylines 90% of the time that have no real central themes, aren't funny, memorable, and if anything the times the See more Alexander S Oct 20 Much like Garry Marshall's Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve is a light-hearted, feel-good movie, with a star-studded cast and romantic comedic storylines centered around scenarios before the clock hits. It’s nothing grand. Grading: C See more Diaulas F Mar 1 Um filme repleto de histórias incríveis que vivemos nos nossos dias normais. A cena do beijo de Pfeiffer e Efron sem dúvida é uma de minhas cenas favoritas See more thiago s @Thiagostone 01/01/2025 Filme legal, roteiro é bacana, o elenco é muito bom, o filme tem cenas boas com cheio de estrelas de Hollywood, que tem história muito boas e um pouco interessantes, algumas das estrelas ajudam outros não ajuda o filme cono o bon jovi, mas com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme de ano novo. See more Ricardo W 10/06/2024 Puntos en contra: - El guión fácilmente puede calificar como el compendio de clichés más cursi y carente de sentido que se haya hecho alguna vez. - La trama puede resumirse en la siguiente frase: "la víspera de Año Nuevo es un momento de esperanza y reflexión para perdonar y corregir los errores, porque hay que escuchar al corazón, y ver con los ojos del alma, porque en realidad lo que importa es la familia, todos merecemos una segunda oportunidad, y la vida es muy corta, entonces hay que aprovechar cada instante, amar, rosa, nunca cambies, gracias por existir". - El film, en general, parece querer emular historias como Love, Actually, pero queda muy, muy lejos. Parece que alguien se dio cuenta en el camino, y aprovecharon a Lea Michele para darle un descarado brochazo de Glee, a Sarah Jessica Parker para hacer un makeover muy Sex and the City, Sofía Vergara le da un toque Modern Family, y por si eso no vende, que cante Bon Jovi. - No se justifica, desde ningún punto de vista, el desperdicio de actores, locaciones y presupuesto. Mucho menos que el film haya tenido acceso a escenarios neoyorquinos realmente privilegiados y aun así ni los escenarios parezcan interesantes. Puntos a favor: - Evidentemente, para haberse prestado a semejante adefesio, muchos de los actores tenían que deberle algunos favores a los productores. Digamos que ya están a mano. - Si alguien creía que el género de comedia romántica ya no podía caer más bajo, esta película no deja dudas: todavía quedan niveles del subsuelo por explorar. - Si James Cameron necesitaba ideas para su próximo film de ciencia ficción, aquí tiene una buena semilla: personajes que se teletransportan, aparecen y desaparecen en varios lugares al mismo tiempo, y recorren distancias increíbles pasando a través de los mares de gente en Times Square en cuestión de segundos, gracias a la magia del Año Nuevo... Awesome, dude! See more Read all reviews
