The 2011 romantic comedy film set around New Year's Eve in New York City was titled “New Year's Eve.”
Directed by Garry Marshall, the film uses an ensemble structure to follow several interconnected stories unfolding during December 31 in Manhattan. Its plotlines involve relationships, family tensions, career decisions, personal promises, and the famous Times Square countdown.
The cast includes Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Josh Duhamel, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Ashton Kutcher, among others. Like Marshall's earlier ensemble romantic comedy “Valentine's Day,” the movie links multiple characters through a shared calendar event.
The film premiered in the United States on December 9, 2011. Its title is easy to confuse with “New Year's Day,” a separate phrase and the name of other films and songs. Here, the title refers specifically to the night of December 31 leading into January 1.
