New Year's Eve

Three Stars: ˜˜˜
While obviously trying so hard to recapture the chemistry of the Valentine’s Day movie, this star-studded concoction is merely entertaining. Shameless product placement, gratuitous inspirational speeches, tongue-in-cheek musical performances… it’s all very warm and cuddly, if slightly nauseating. However, it can’t be easy to make a whole movie about such an insipid holiday—even if it does largely revolve around the anticlimactic Times Square Ball Drop.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
“I’m not gonna give a long speech—Socrates gave long speeches and his friends killed him.”
“In my country when a man gets down on one knee, it’s either because he wants to get married or he’s been shot… sometimes both.”
“Have we not progressed past this string of Christmas lights that all go out if one of them dies?”
