New Year's Eve was released on December 9, 2011, and received generally negative reviews from critics but grossed $142 million.

Plot

The film follows several interconnected people on New Year's Eve in NYC.

Vice-President of the Times Square Claire Morgan is making final arrangements for the ball drop. Meanwhile, after being nearly hit by a car and denied a vacation, Ahern Records secretary Ingrid Withers quits and offers deliveryman Paul Doyle tickets for the Ahern Records Masquerade Ball if he helps her complete her New Year's resolutions before midnight, and he accepts.

Paul's older sister Kim is having trouble with teenage daughter Hailey who would rather spend New Year's Eve with her friends and her boyfriend Seth Anderson in Times Square than with her, a lonely, recently divorced mom. Paul's best friend, comic book illustrator Randy, hates New Year's Eve as his girlfriend left him on the date. He gets stuck in an elevator with Elise, an aspiring backup singer for musician Daniel Jensen at his Times Square show. Jensen is also preparing to perform at the Ahern Records ball while attempting to rekindle his relationship with former fiancée, Laura.

At a nearby hospital, Claire's father Stan Harris is in the final stages of cancer. He refuses chemotherapy, wishing only to see the ball drop one last time. Stan is kept company by Nurses Aimee and Mindy after his doctor confirms he will soon pass. In the same hospital, the young Griffin and Tess Byrne are about to have their first child and compete with James and Grace Schwab for the New Year's Day baby bonus.

Elsewhere, Sam Ahern, Jr., a businessman and son of the late founder Sam Ahern, Sr. of Ahern Records, on his way to the company ball to deliver an important speech, his car malfunctions in Connecticut. All the while he wonders if he should reunite with a mysterious woman he met and fell in love with on the previous New Year's Eve. Unable to find a mechanic or tow truck, Sam gets a ride from a family in an RV.

Later that evening, one of the LED panels on the Times Square Ball malfunctions, jamming it and forcing Claire to call Kominsky, a disgruntled electrician whom the company had fired a few weeks prior. He repairs the ball before midnight, and, in gratitude, she leaves him in charge as she rushes to see the ball drop with her father, Stan.

Meanwhile, Nurse Aimee video conferences with her husband Chino, an Afganistan-deployed soldier. Stan passes away shortly after Claire sneaks him up to the hospital's roof to watch the ball drop, amid a chorus of "Auld Lang Syne", with Claire weeping and holding his hand.

Paul helps Ingrid complete her resolutions, so she gives him the tickets. They later say goodbye, but he later takes her to the Ahern Records ball as his date. Meanwhile, Randy and Elise bond in the elevator as they share their lives and problems. Just as they are about to kiss, the elevator is repaired by the building superintendent, so Elise rushes to Jensen's show.

Randy notices Elise forgot her rubber bracelet so rushes to give it to her, still in pajamas. At Times Square, Jensen leaves midway through his show to return to the Ahern Ball to apologize to Laura, who takes him back and leaves with Sam's approval. Elise replaces Jensen and attracts the attention of the crowd. She kisses Randy, starting a romantic relationship.

Griffin and Tess have their baby and, although it is born first, they lie so James and Grace can have the $25,000 bonus after discovering they have two other children to provide for. Meanwhile, after being forbidden from attending the celebration, Hailey runs away to Times Square, where she sees Seth being kissed by another girl, Lily. Unaware it was a kiss against his will, the heartbroken Hailey meets and is comforted by her mother. Kim finally realizes she was selfish for not allowing her to spend New Year's with them. Seth finds them and apologizes, revealing Lily has stolen the kiss. Hailey forgives him and kisses him back. Her mother allows her to go to an after-party.

Kim then rushes to a restaurant to reunite with Sam, after he delivered his speech. She is the mysterious woman whom he met last year, and they finally share their names with each other. The film ends with Paul and Ingrid having fun at the Ahern Records ball party.

Reception

Critical reception

On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 7% based on 142 reviews and an average rating of 3.20/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Shallow, sappy, and dull, New Year's Eve assembles a star-studded cast for no discernible purpose."[4] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 22 out of 100 based on 30 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[5] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[6][7]

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said, "New Year's Eve is a dreary plod through the sands of time until finally the last grain has trickled through the hourglass of cinematic sludge. How is it possible to assemble more than two dozen stars in a movie and find nothing interesting for any of them to do?"[8] Kimberley Jones of the Austin Chronicle said, "Mostly, New Year's Eve is appalling stuff, a poorly constructed, sentimental sham. Auld Lang Syne."[9] Claudia Winkleman on the BBC One show Film... said, "I have found the worst film of all time, and it is called New Year's Eve."[10] Rolling Stone shared the same opinion and rated it zero stars, stating, "Director Garry Marshall follows last year's Valentine's Day romcom crapfest with an even more puke-up-able sample of the species," and concluding, New Year's Eve is "bad beyond belief."[11] British newspaper The Telegraph named New Year's Eve one of the ten worst films of 2011.[12] British film critic Mark Kermode named it as the worst film of 2011.[13] On the more positive side, Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman said, "New Year's Eve is dunderheaded kitsch, but it's the kind of marzipan movie that can sweetly soak up a holiday evening."[14]

Box office

The film opened at the No. 1 spot at the box office with $13 million.[15][16] It made $54.5 million in the United States and Canada, as well as $87.5 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $142 million.[3]

Accolades

The film earned five Razzie Award nominations: Worst Picture, Worst Director (Garry Marshall), Worst Actress (Sarah Jessica Parker), Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Ensemble,[17] losing all to Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill.

Parodies

New Year's Eve, and its predecessor Valentine's Day, were parodied in December 2011 on the sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live in a trailer for the fictional film The Apocalypse, set on the last day on Earth.[22]

They were similarly parodied on the TV show 30 Rock, in the January 2012 episode "The Ballad of Kenneth Parcell", in a trailer for a film called Martin Luther King Day, whose large cast includes Jenna Maroney.[23]
