assembles a star-studded cast for no discernible purpose.”

Detroit News critic, Tom Long, declared, “Written on the level of a bad episode of The Love Boat, this is one of those concoctions that intertwines about 10 storylines and then concludes with a cherry on top.”

Lisa Kennedy of the Denver Post stated, “The only thing that can inspire more cynicism than a holiday’s coerced emotions may be a film that both exploits and celebrates said emotions.

Claudia Winkleman of the BBC One show went on to call it worst film of all time.

IMDB gave the movie a rating of 4.8 out of 10 based on 86 critics.

However, Jackie K. Cooper praised the movie by saying, “No message, no car chases and explosions, no 3D – just relaxing entertainment.”

Owen Gleiberman of the Entertainment Weekly said, "New Year’s Eve is dunderheaded kitsch, but it’s the kind of marzipan movie that can sweetly soak up a holiday evening."

Overall, New Year’s Eve is a good way to kill time with your friends and family.
