Preview: New Year's Eve (2011)

Synopsis:

An ensemble romantic drama from Valentine's Day director Garry Marshall.

• Poster: B+

Review:

This glittery morsel of celebratory goodness doesn't go for the cheap ploy of showing off its massive cast, it goes for something that extols the virtues of both New York City and of New Year's Eve celebrations.

• Trailer: C; C+

Review:

This one doesn't look as interesting as Marshall's previous all-star romantic romp, but I have to give it the benefit of the doubt with such a wide array of talented thesps.

While it looks every bit the clone of Garry Marshall's prior ensemble holiday film Valentine's Day, the concepts seem a bit more hollow than usual and many of the actors feel out of place.

Oscar Prospects:

None. Just like Valentine's Day
