New Year's Eve

Director Gary Marshall has applied his "Valentine's Day" romantic comedy formula to another emotionally charged holiday. A star studded cast along with many surprise cameos steer you through an intricate set of story lines involving a bucket list, competitive pregnant mothers, a deathbed patient, a rock star, a caterer, a New Year's Eve party, and the Times Square's ball drop. The movie may be cliché, but it was still better than Alien expected. It is a fun mindless sentimental film with a message of love, forgiveness, and second chances that will make you laugh and maybe shed a tear or two. See if you can figure out which characters may be connected to another one. Stay for the hilarious blooper reel during the credits.

Alien gives it 3 "Have a Little Faith in Me" stars out of 4.
