OK so this was better than Valentines Day -- for those of you that were unfortunate enough to have seen that. Nevertheless it is far from the craft of Love Actually which is easily the best of these multiple shorts mixed into one big movie type deal.
New Years Eve is slow, very slow, in fact the audience is so far ahead of the story that it is painful. Second because of the timing it is also so pitifully predictable that again, why bother. There are multiple story lines obviously and it seems to be the goal of the director to bombard us with so much information that we will forget how they all relate and then we will all be blown away in awe when it all comes together.... yeah not so. In fact, it is just the opposite, they spend so much time trying to mislead the audience that nothing is surprising nor spectacular.
It has a fun soundtrack and lots of people in it -- but I couldn't sit through it a second time.
