Critics Consensus

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

At one point a guy named Sam is greeted by two girls and this dude looks at the camera and says "I'm a Sam-wich". I kid you not. Don't go anywhere near this movie if you don't want to be mad at all the stars in it that let this atrocity happen. I highly suspect someone laundered money or wrote off some taxes with it and that's the only reason it exists. Or maybe it was some rich dude's last wish or something. It's as if the director didn't show up to any of the filming and the screenwriter let her 5 year old kid finish every other sentence, then forgot to replace all the nonsense it wrote before sending it over to the actors. Robert De Niro is the only one who does a decent job the 5 minutes of screentime he has, and even he has stupid dialogue. I hope this movie was erased from the internet, it belongs in the dollar store's DVD basket.

Every bad thing said about this movie is true, it's completely dull. Not a single character develops enough for the viewer to care about them even an ounce. How this many A-list actors even agreed to have this stain on their CVs is beyond me. I hope their paychecks were worth it. Thanks for one of the lamest evenings ive had in a while

For once, I actually agree with the verified critics here. I remember my wife watching this film; very cringe-inducing and very hard to watch, even past the intros. This movie has an ensemble cast for absolutely zero reason, and there is nothing going on for anyone to enjoy. Hard, hard pass.

I was looking for the bad parts and found quite a few, but I also found quite a few that were not bad.

Yes, this 2011 tale might boast one of the most star-studded ensembles in a 21st Century Hollywood movie, but it saddles them with one of the most ploddingly predictable and thuddingly awful scripts in rom-com history.

Rated: 1/5

Movie Talk

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.

Rated: 2/5
