Watch New Year's Eve For Free

Wonderful Movie

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Great Film overall

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

New Year's Eve is a simple movie in which the idea is portrayed in the title. You'd not expect that much, it had romance, comedy and fine actors. But I wouldn't say I sat through it all expecting something big, because no such thing would occur. But, I enjoyed my time after all. 6/10

New Year's Eve is an all star ensemble romantic-drama-comedy from the people behind the similar formatted Valentine's Day. However here they had an idea and tried to cram a script and a multiple storyline and it failed.A film that does not even smell Christmas even though it has a holiday season setting and is set on New Years Eve with Times Square becoming a focal point as the Times Square Ball will in due course will be raised and come midnight will be dropped.Our set of characters include two couples that want to be the first to give birth after midnight, a man dying alone of cancer, a stoned cartoonist stuck in a life with a backing singer, a middle aged woman who realises that life is sliding by and asks a young man to make her dreams come true, a young schoolgirl who wants to see the new year in with her friends and her mom is reluctant so she runs away, a man on his way to New York hoping to meet a lady of his dreams but his car has broken down. Then we have the person who is in charge of the ball drop and that does not include all the characters. Jon Bon Jovi turns up as a rock singer with regrets and on and on it goes.The interweaving stories do not work because of the poor script. You have scenes such as a doctor who tells a pregnant patient that she will not be delivering babies at midnight as she has plans only to be in hospital delivering a baby later that evening. The person whose sole job is to make sure the ball drops, leaves just before midnight to visit someone. The man who is striving to get to New York for in effect a blind date was certainly not horsing around.Some of the actors are playing shorthand characters. Robert De Niro as the grouch, Michelle Pfeiffer is similar to the secretary she played in Batman Returns, Lea Michele plays a character who stepped off Glee, Zac Efron has an enthusiasm like the character he played in High School Musical.The film is neither deep, funny or romantic. It even fails to reflect New York but does display a cynicism of lazy filmmaking as it strives for cloying sentimentality.The bright part is that the film is inoffensive, passes the time but you will gain little at the end of it.

'New Year's Eve', despite its mammoth ensemble cast, doesn't quite leave a mark. Its, at best, a fair watch, that has a few interesting moments. 'New Year's Eve' Synopsis: The lives of several couples & singles in New York intertwine over the course of New Year's Eve.Katherine Fugate's Screenplay is ambitious, but not very well-crafted. The vignettes laced in the narrative, range from ordinary to dull. The only vignette that holds appeal is the one called Elevator, which features Ashton Kutcher & Lea Michelle. Garry Marshall's Direction is decent. Cinematography is picture-perfect. Editing lacks sharpness. Art & Costume Design are alright.Performance-Wise: Of the ensemble cast, Its only Ashton Kutcher & Lea Michelle who deliver confident, likable performances. The rest of the cast lend adequate support.On the whole, 'New Year's Eve' is a so-so fare.

To start the new year watching this was rather cliché yes, I will admit, but I thought that I would give it a try.Mega-huge cast, lots of little stories. Hated much of it but liked some. Totally cheesy at times, sappy and lame, but a little touching, too.Overall it felt too disjointed. I do not like movies like this. The Bueller cameo was definitely the best!I know, this is a terrible review but I it's from January 1, 2013 and I just don't remember that much about the movie. See... I don't remember that much so what does that mean? It means this is a rather forgettable experience and it's one that I will happily never revisit ever again!---The Kat Pirate Screener. Arrgh!
