New Year's Eve

Comedy
2.5 stars
Cute but predictable and logistically impossible. A large cast of characters get sidelined a bit on their way to New Year’s festivities in Manhattan. Michelle Pfeiffer plays a frumpy woman who enlists Zac Efron to help her with her bucket list; Ashton Kutcher gets stuck in an elevator with Lea Michele; Abigail Breslin sneaks out on Mom Sarah Jessica Parker; Robert DeNiro is dying and just wants to see the ball drop with his nurse Halle Berry; these are only a few of the many stories in this film. Sofia Vergara, Katherine Heigl, Jon Bon Jovi, Hillary Swank, Jessica Biel and Josh Duhamel are among the many other stars. Garry Marshall’s direction wasn’t terrible, but not nearly as good as his work on Valentine’s Day. So so.
