The 2011 film that interweaves several stories set around New Year's Eve in New York City is “New Year's Eve.”
Directed by Garry Marshall, the romantic comedy is an ensemble film following connected characters as they prepare for or experience the holiday. Its cast includes Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Robert De Niro, Ashton Kutcher, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The film uses the Times Square celebration as a shared setting and narrative anchor. Several plotlines involve relationships, family, work, illness, and personal resolutions, all unfolding during the same New Year's period.
It is sometimes confused with “Valentine's Day,” another Marshall-directed ensemble romantic comedy released in 2010. The two films use similar multi-story structures, but “New Year's Eve” is the one specifically centered on the December 31 celebration.
