Which 2011 romantic comedy film follows interconnected stories taking place on New Year's Eve in New York City?

The story behind the answer

New Year's Eve is the 2011 romantic comedy film about interconnected stories in New York City.

Directed by Garry Marshall, the film uses the final day of the year as the setting for several linked stories involving relationships, family, work and personal resolutions. Its ensemble cast includes Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher and Sarah Jessica Parker.

The movie was released in the United States on December 9, 2011. It followed Marshall's earlier holiday ensemble film Valentine's Day, which also connected multiple romantic storylines through a calendar occasion. The two films share a broad structure but are separate productions with different settings and plots.

The title is easy to confuse with the real-world holiday itself because it uses no subtitle. The relevant film is generally identified as New Year's Eve (2011), distinguishing it from the date and from unrelated television specials or songs with similar wording.
