To be clear, I have no interest in seeing this movie. That a trailer even exists for it 6 months out seems… ambitious at best, delusional at worst. This film is sitcom-level piffle that will be immediately forgotten two weeks after release. But humor me. Watch the trailer anyway…
These stunt-casting movies like New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day and Love, Actually that feature a cavalcade of celebrity cameos are almost becoming a genre unto themselves. They’re like the Laff-A-Lympics of cinema.
…and they must be stopped.
“Coming Spring of 2012… ARBOR DAY!“
As much as people trash theses movies, I always enjoy myself when I see them. The are just silly fluff movies. The ying to Michael Bays yang.
It’s fluff, but it’s cynical fluff to me. Stack the cast with enough “name” actors to distract from the complete lack of story or reason to care.
Ugh………..
Yeah, just throw a bunch of money at a movie and it will be great! I assume this is going to be one of those movies where they have 20 different storylines going on at the same time that “magically” all come together at midnight?
The Force is strong with this one…
Ugh… As if New Years Eve isn’t bad enough anyway, now there’s a film about it which, won’t be a box office smash (it’s not going to tank either) but then will syndicate and repeated every new year for the next 60 years… At least Hugh Grant isn’t in this one!
What I enjoy is that I’ve spent a hanful of New Year’s Eves working in a movie theatre hating everyone who showed up, because they do. Hopefully this will depress those people.
Short Cuts?
(apparently just those two words is not enough of a response and I have to artificially make it longer)
