New Year’s Eve: A Charming Review for a Dumb Story Line

You’ve got to be kidding me Hollywood! But there are times, watching a wreck of a movie and enjoying the film for more than an hour can be very embarrassing. That’s what you get when you see how New Year’s Eve made its way to fame. As you may recall, the year-end blockbuster has conquered United States on December 9, 2011. This is the too-faced comedy of all sorts which wrecked the rest of Fandango Galaxy cinema in Carson City. As you remember, the movie is plagued with an all-star cast, from Hilary Swank to Robert de Niro. And even if the film is entirely sheer twaddle, director Gary Marshall keeps his head on the clouds. Of course he should, he produced the same move the other year, Valentine’s Day? Anyone?
And of course, everybody loves a good movie review so here we go! So bottom line of the film are eight somewhat not related people, who are facing personal problems. For instance, spokesperson got a little awry about the Time Square ball which got stuck halfway up the pole. De Niro’s glitch is that he’s on his death bed but is dying to see the ball descend one more time. Halle Berry is De Niro’s nurse who conspired to let him have his dying wish? 
And Michelle Pfeiffer plays as a recording company secretary with a list of things including quitting her own job. Bike messenger Zac Efron helps her with motor bike rides and swinging her from aerial ropes before he kisses her as she protests she's too old for him.
Jon Bon Jovi on the other hand spills and sings his heart out loud to Katherine Heigl’s character whom he stood up last New Year’s eve. . And Josh Duhamel in black tie has to give a speech at a swank party, which he does nicely giving the movie a touch of sanctimony before hooking up with Swank, who also delivers some uplifting oratory.
Berry got to purify things a bit as well with a TV chat with her man in Afghanistan, and not to forget Sarah Jessica Parker, who stands as the mother of Abigail Breslin who only wanted to celebrate 2012 with her friends, but mom’s dead-worried about her daughter’s safety with all the enormous crowd out there in Time Square.
Ashton Kutcher and Lea Michele get to get all fuzzy after being stuck in elevator; he's anti-New Year's and she's got a backup singing date on Times Square. But they make it up in the end. And to top all of it, there’s this dumb race as who will win the $25,000 prize for the first baby born  in 2012. I don’t know about you but the movie is not that blockbuster inducing as you can see, but it’s as charming and enchanting, considering it’s an all-star cast movie. Get on with the show and see the rest of New Year’s Eve, it doesn’t matter if the premiere has already passed, you still got more time!
