The 2011 film New Year's Eve connects its interwoven holiday stories in New York City.
Directed by Garry Marshall, the romantic comedy follows several characters whose lives intersect during New Year's Eve in Manhattan. Its ensemble cast includes Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Ashton Kutcher, Josh Duhamel, Katherine Heigl, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Robert De Niro.
The film uses recognizable New York settings and centers its climax around the Times Square celebration. Its structure links stories about relationships, family, work, illness, forgiveness, and second chances rather than following one single protagonist.
The title can cause confusion with the real-world holiday itself and with other films set during New Year's celebrations. This question refers specifically to Marshall's 2011 ensemble movie, whose city setting is central to its plot and marketing.
