New Year's Eve

ComedyRomance118 min

As midnight approaches in New York, strangers, couples, and old connections cross paths through one crowded New Year’s Eve, with missed meetings, rushed plans, and last-minute attempts to change how the year ends. Michelle Pfeiffer is one of the many people chasing a reset, while Zac Efron turns up in another thread of the night’s overlapping stories. Garry Marshall uses the city itself as the through line, moving from party preparations and street-level chaos to the pressure building around the Times Square countdown.
