The only entertaining way to watch New Year's Eve is as a cruel experiment in which performers stranded with absolutely no script support are forced to subsist on pure presence, which quickly becomes a blood sport in which only a few survive.
Linda Holmes, NPR
Rotten
Written on the level of a bad episode of The Love Boat, this is one of those concoctions that intertwines about 10 storylines and then concludes with a cherry on top.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
The only thing that can inspire more cynicism than a holiday's coerced emotions may be a film that both exploits and celebrates said emotions.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Rotten
It's all perfectly pleasant and perfectly harmless and perfectly bland.
