(2012) If I’m going to be completely honest here, had I not studied the book in which this film is an adaptation for one of my level two English Literature modules, I probably wouldn’t have looked twice at it. However, I recognised the title as soon as I heard it was due to be released, and made sure I got round to seeing it.Read more...

REVIEW: New Years Eve
Published 5th Dec 2011
Set for release on December 8th 2011, New Year’s Eve is everyone’s winter warmer: set to enhance smiles, make us feel closer to those around us and encourage us to realise what is really important on New Year’s Eve. From the makers of Valentine’s Day and the director of Pretty Woman, Garry Marshall creates a film unlike any other, and this time it seems bigger and better! There is, of course, an all-star cast, selected with such variety that there is something for everyone. With the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Jessica Biel, Ashton Kutcher and many more, you’ll surely be spoilt for choice!
The main plot line is fairly simple to follow, with the intertwining and connected relationships of all of the characters. It follows those who are single and those loved up couples in the Big Apple over the course of New Year’s Eve.
Of course, it’s not everyone’s taste; we all know that with a film like this comes a certain level of predictability, so as audiences we forecast what’s going to happen and who will inevitably fall in love. The thrill does not lie in the suspense, and there should be no great expectations of deep philosophical story lines. New Year’s Eve should be enjoyed for what it is: a feel good, entertaining flick that leaves you with a warm feeling inside. Plus, with such a star-studded cast, it’s hard to find any solid critiques.
