I watched "Valentine's Day" last year and didn't like it. I was kind of hesitant to watch "New Year's Eve" because I feared it would just be like that movie. However, a number of people said that this was a good movie and it was way better than Marshall's previous film. I'm glad I listened to those people, because I actually did like this movie.
Watching this gave me a fuzzy feeling. It made me excited for 2012 to come. It's funny because we haven't even had Christmas yet! Gosh, I love holidays. Movies like this just fuel my excitement even more.
This movie's cast composed of A-listers! My favorites were Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Sofia Vergara and Jake T. Austin, to name a few. Zac Efron was amazing! I loved watching him in all his scenes. As for Sofia Vergara, my eyes just went straight to her every time she was on. She was just as funny as her role on "Modern Family". I enjoyed watching familiar faces pop up here and there as I was watching the movie.
In this movie, clear connections aren't immediately seen. But that's what makes this movie interesting. I do think that "Valentine's Day" did a better job of intertwining everyone's own personal stories, that way everyone really was connected. In this movie, not everyone had connections with one another. But that's all right. The movie still managed to make me shed a tear many times throughout the film. It was that nice. I wasn't expecting to want to cry.
I liked this film better than Marshall's first. Maybe it was the buzz of the upcoming festivities that made me biased. Who knows? I just know that this film really made me excited for the upcoming year. And it also rekindled my love for Zac Efron and Jake T. Austin!
