New Year's Eve is the 2011 ensemble film set during New Year's Eve in New York City.
Directed by Garry Marshall, the romantic comedy follows several interconnected stories unfolding as the city prepares for midnight. Its large cast includes Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Ashton Kutcher, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Robert De Niro. The plot uses familiar celebration landmarks, including the Times Square ball drop, as characters face reunions, deadlines, family tensions, and personal resolutions.
The film was marketed as a companion to Marshall's earlier ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day, released in 2010. That earlier film takes place around February 14, while New Year's Eve uses December 31 as its shared setting. The title is therefore both the film's name and the date central to its plot. It should not be confused with New Year's Day, a separate phrase referring to January 1 and the title of unrelated films and songs.
