New Year's Eve is the 2011 film that follows several characters whose stories intersect on New Year's Eve in New York City.
Directed by Garry Marshall, the romantic comedy is an ensemble film built from multiple storylines unfolding during December 31. Its cast includes Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Abigail Breslin, Josh Duhamel, Ashton Kutcher, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Michelle Pfeiffer. The plot uses the city's countdown atmosphere to connect relationships, family tensions, work problems, and personal resolutions.
The film is part of a broader cycle of holiday ensemble movies associated with Marshall. It followed Valentine's Day, released in 2010, which also used interlocking stories and a calendar holiday as its organizing device.
The title is sometimes confused with the film's release year or with the phrase New Year's Day. Its official title is New Year's Eve, and it was released in the United States on December 9, 2011.
