New Year's Eve is the 2011 film directed by Garry Marshall that follows several New Year's Eve stories in New York City.
The romantic comedy is an ensemble film whose interconnected plotlines unfold as the city prepares to celebrate the arrival of a new year. Its cast includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashton Kutcher, and others.
The film uses familiar New York landmarks and countdown imagery to connect stories involving relationships, family, work, regret, and second chances. It was released in December 2011 and was marketed as a companion to Marshall's earlier ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day.
A common mix-up is confusing the film with New Year's Day, a separate title used by other productions and songs. The exact film title is New Year's Eve, matching the holiday at the center of its plot.
