New Years Eve Review



Think of New Years Eve as an info commercial. To draw your attention to the product, a lot of advertising was used. New Line Cinema added 15 major stars, a big name director and a commercial on every T.V show and wham! New Years Eve became a hit.

New Years Eve is sort of like a sequel to the movie "Valentines Day", but with different stars and a different plot. New Years Eve takes place in the busy new york on one of the busiest days of the year. It covers different peoples stories of how they found love on the big night. 

I dont understand why I decided to see New Years Eve, maybe out of curiosity of how bad it was going to be, how a movie could be even worse than Valentines Day ( Which I walked out of). But I came out of the theatre pleasantly surprised.

New Years Eve isn't the best Holiday movie, but it beat Valentines day by far. New Years Eve is like a 2 hour T.V show. It is always jumping around to different parts of the big city to cover peoples stories of how they are handling New Years Eve. The jumping around is actually quite annoying but useful, it helps you stay in focus with the movie,but it is just so annoying!

The filmmaking and writing was pretty sloppy and strange. First of.... It was really trying to sell New York City in a way. Part of it seemed like a walking advertisement for the big apple. Also, the characters lack feeling, I was never able to sympathize with some of the characters, but the actors did the best they could and their acting wasn't as bad as some people have said. After all it is a comedy!

New Years Eve overall is a movie that a lot of people would rather not see. But if you are going out with your girlfriends, you might enjoy it. If offers plenty of small, cheesy giggles and it will help you warm up to the holiday cheer. But it is still annoying. B-
