MOVIE REVIEW: New Years Eve

New Years Eve (2011)
Starring: How much time do you have?
Director: Garry Marshall

So when I first saw the trailer for this a few months back, I was pretty underwhelmed to say the least. I really don't like movies that spend all their money on the getting a huge, well known cast, and forget to actually develop a decent storyline for these people to dwell in! Love Actually suffered from this even though it was an ok movie, The Expendables was terrible and Valentines Day made me want to reach for the puke bucket!


Finally!! An all star cast in a movie with a relatively decent storyline. I ended up really enjoying this and truly lost count of the amount of stars in here. Ok, I really want to do this so here goes, in no particular order.

Jon Bon Jovi

Katherine Heigl (who I really don't like by the way, the dress she wears at the end is awful and she really can't act to save herself!)

Halle Berry

Jessica Biehl

Abigail Breslin

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sofia Vergara (this woman is BRILLIANT, I LOVE her. I wish I'd watched Modern Family now)

Zac Efron

Michelle Pfeiffer

Lea Michelle (yes, she sings!)

Ashton Kucher

Hillary Swank

Hector Elizondo

Josh Duhamel

Alyssa Milano

Robert DeNiro

Cary Elwes

Ludakris (or however you spell it)

James Belushi

Carla Gugino

John Lithgow

AND..........wait for it....................

Joey McIntyre (Come on all you NKTOB fans, you know he was your fav!)

Honestly, the movie was 1 hour and 11 minutes in and there were still famous people popping their heads around corners. At one stage we even see Penny Marshall, the directors sister.

The stories developed well between the characters and for once I felt like part of the movie rather than watching a series of coffee commercials. Robert DeNiro's story is very touching and probably my favourite.

Give it a go, even if, like me, you hated the other 'all star cast' movies. Let me know what you thought!
