New Year's Eve

"New Year’s Eve’’ is fun in the way that eating at a buffet is fun. It’s two hours of foods that have nothing to do with each other piled high on a plate because it was too cheap to resist. You don’t need hot wings, creamed spinach, oysters, and flan at the same time. But there they all are, so why not? It’s the same with the stars here. Hilary Swank and Ludacris? Michelle Pfeiffer and Zac Efron? Sarah Jessica Parker and Abigail Breslin? Ryan Seacrest and Mayor Michael Bloomberg? These seem like secret Santa pairings. Warner Bros. knows they don’t make sense together, but shoved alongside each other - and Katherine Heigl, Jon Bon Jovi, Josh Duhamel, too - they will make money.
