I just watched that last weekend and think that's pretty spot on unfortunately. Not only was it his last decent movie, it was also the last one where he played the kind of tough guy role for which he is/was known without it being (or coming across as ) a spoof.


If WB had chosen to sprinkle bits of The Dark Knight Rises in with the multiple stories, I might have given this a shot, but alas...

As a companion piece to "Valentine's Day," Gary Marshall's "New Year's Eve" is a rather inert piece of filmmaking, and the final resolution of the tangetial relationships of the criss-crossing subplots didn't quite hit the spot for me for many of the characters, so it's pretty much a miss, but you pretty much know what you're in for if you've seen the earlier film. I don't even know what they were thinking in how they resolved the Josh Duhamel's character's subplot, it doesn't make any sense. Hilary Swank's character's subplot was also "meh". Just a lot of average screenwriting.

I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.

My teen wanted to see this so I figured what better day to go than today. Kind of fun to watch tonight's festivities shortly after seeing them depicted on the screen.
