Is New Year’s Eve worth watching?
Look, we are not going to lie to you: New Year Eve it’s just not good. He has all the rom-com clichés you can imagine: an accident-prone heroine, a couple who hate each other but end up loving each other, mistaken identity, silly jokes, and a maudlin ending. It doesn’t bring anything new to the genre, and frequently uses plot devices and character stereotypes that haven’t been out of style in decades.
However, how many good New Year’s Eve movies are there? Hardly any, and no other holiday-focused movie has a cast like this: Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Jon Bon Jovi, Zac Efron, Lea Michele, Ashton Kutcher, Hilary Swank, Sofia Vergara, Common, Robert De Niro, Matthew Broderick , Ludacris, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katherine Heigel, John Lithgow, Cary Elwes… there’s an actor for just about everyone. The film is 118 minutes long, but feels shorter due to its vignette-style narrative.
on rotten tomatoes, New Year Eve registers 7% over the tomatometer and an audience score of 45%.
