New Year's Eve

An entertaining, lightweight, star-studded (Josh Duhamel, James Belushi, Matthew Broderick, Common, Penny Marshall, Ryan Seacrest, Sofia Vergara, Cherry Jones, Jack McGee, Larry Miller, and Joey McIntyre), uneven comedy that follows an eclectic group of New Yorkers on New Year's Eve, including a worried Radio City Music Hall employee (Sarah Jessica Parker) trying to keep a tight rein on her teenage daughter (Abigail Breslin) as she begs to meet her school crush (Jake T. Austin) in Times Square, a nurse (Halle Berry) and a doctor (Cary Elwes) caring for a terminally-ill cancer patient (Robert DeNiro), a commitment-phobic singer (Jon Bon Jovi) trying to reconnect with a popular chef (Katherine Heigl), an obstetrician (Carla Gugino) and a nurse (Alyssa Milano) caring for two pregnant couples (Jessica Biel/Seth Meyers and Sarah Paulson/Til Schweiger) trying to win $25,000 for the first baby born after midnight, a plucky courier (Zac Efron) trying to fulfill the New Year's resolutions of an unhappy secretary (Michelle Pfeiffer) who quit her job and her clueless record company boss (John Lithgow), a backup singer (Lea Michele) trying to make it to her first gig after being stuck in an elevator with a grouchy tenant (Ashton Kutcher), and a Times Square Alliance vice president (Hilary Swank) seeking help of a cop (Chris ‘Ludacris' Bridges) and an electrician (Hector Elizondo) to ensure that the ball drops on time.
