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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 6, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 17, 2020

Far too long and one of the most badly cast films of 2011.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 18, 2020

Falls so short it feels like a cinematic hangover without the delightful drunk the night before.

| Jul 29, 2019

The latest from director Garry Marshall is a completely uninteresting excursion that features a parade of familiar faces given absolutely nothing to do.

| May 7, 2019

The characters presented are so many in number that -- in the end -- you don't feel like you've really gotten to know or empathize with any of them.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 6, 2018

New Year's Eve impresses with its guest list but here these famous acquaintances are to be forgotten and never brought to mind.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 6, 2017

It's like channel surfing when there's nothing on but crap.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

Offering up genuinely unlikable characters and terrible dialogue, this comedy qualifies as one of the year's worst.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jun 30, 2013

Colossal waste of talent and time.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jun 3, 2012

Your appreciation for the film may depend on your tolerance for sugar.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 26, 2012

Among the year's worst films. The tragedy is funny, the comedy is tragic, and about its only saving grace is that it makes 2010's Valentines Day look almost passable.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 22, 2012

...a perfectly watchable (and consistently hackneyed) feel-good ensemble drama.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 31, 2012

The movie is a serious waste of time.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 27, 2012

The cinematic equivalent of a piece of New York style cheesecake and about as artistically satisfying.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 9, 2012

a sea of quickly put together, cheesy romcom vignettes that fail to put across any kind of meaningful message

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 4, 2012

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 26, 2011

New Year's Eve is pretty much laugh-free, trading on tired visual gags and some unbelievably cynical 'cutesy' scenes (baby montage anyone?) for most of its humour.

| Dec 23, 2011

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 23, 2011

Garry Marshall, how could you? You have made a mockery of a movie that bears the name of my birthday. I take this as a personal affront.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Dec 17, 2011
