9.) Sofia Vergara: Vergara plays Heigl's best friend and an admirer of Jon Bon Jovi's character. She's annoying in this as well as in The Smurfs. She was on the nominating ballot, but I didn't vote for her.

 

8.) The blooper reel: After the movie ends, we're "treated" to some "bloopers". They're less bloopers and more pranks. Like the part where Jessica Biel gives birth to... a Blu-Ray of Valentine's Day? Reminding us of better movies won't make us think your movie is better.*

 

7.) Sarah Jessica Parker: SJP plays the mother of Abigal Breslin. She's annoying and obnoxious.

 

6.) Assface Kutcher: I could go into explicite detail about how terrible Assface is as a douchey New Year's Eve hating hipster, but instead I'll make a comment that will make the film as a whole seem worse: Assface Kutcher, the worst actor working today, isn't among the five worst things about this movie!

 

5.) Katherine Heigl: Heigl plays a party planner with a past with Bon Jovi. Heigl's performance is on par with all her other non-Knocked Up performances: absolutely terrible!

 

4.) The concept: The concept of the movie ("let's stuff as many movie 'stars' as possible into one movie!") is a highly flawed one that made the makers a sh*t loud of money last Winter with Valentine's Day. Fortunately, this bombed and we're now free from these type of movies! Hopefully.

 

3.) Jon Bon Jovi: God, I hate Jon Bon Jovi.

 

2.) The script: While it's not as abombinable as Bucky Larson's, it's still horribly thin and underwritten.

 

1.) Garry Marshall: Marshall is a terrible director who's made terrible, terrible movies in the past. I can't say this is his worst because it doesn't have Rosie O'Donnell wearing S&M gear or Lindsay Lohan, so I'll say it's his third worst.

 

I do have a funny story about this movie. When I was driving home from this, New Year's Day by U2 started playing. This has happened before, like when I heard Werewolves Of London when I was driving home from Breaking Wind and Stillborn from Black Label Society when I was driving home from Jack & Jill. Grade: F

 

Next-up: Extremely Terrible & Incredibly Tasteless... and my NEW 10 worst movies of the year list!!!!!!!

 

*And yes, Valentine's Day is a better movie.

This movie is definitely in my list for nominations. Here's why: 

The screenplay is boring and that's putting it nicely. For a movie to have more than one story each story has to be easily followed. This doesn't happen because there are too many stories. To say that the stories are half-baked is an insult to anything half-baked. These stories haven't even been put into the oven yet. 

The acting is sub-standard. Then again it's hard for any decent actor to give a convincing performance when the screenplay's stories are so small. There's little material for each actor to work on. 

Gary Marshall, the director, also directed the dreadful Valentine's Day. So it's no surprise that he also directed this trash. He made little, if any, effort to get the cast to have actual chemistry with each other. 

Grrrrr.......

All indications are that NEW YEAR'S EVE will indeed be One of the Big Holiday Turkeys of 2011. YAY!
