10 Awful Movies That Wasted Awesome Ensemble Casts

3. New Year's Eve (2011)

new-years-eve-movie-cast-2011The Ensemble: Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Jon Bon Jovi, Abigail Breslin, Robert De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Zac Efron, Katherine Heigl, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Pfeiffer, Til Schweiger, Hilary Swank, Sofia Vergara Garry Marshall's second movie to score a place on this list is an even bigger crime against ensemble comedy than his first, and that's for two reasons: firstly, it's even worse than Valentine's Day. Secondly, he had the audacity to make exactly the same movie again, despite the fact that his first foray into this type of horrid schlock turned out so badly. So here's a movie that gathers together stars like Robert De Niro and Halle Berry and pairs them with stars like Zac Efron and Abigail Breslin, 'cause 2011, right, everyone? And yet nothing interesting happens for the entire flick. It's an unbearably dull movie about unbearably dull people - how did Marshall manage to assemble such a large and talented cast to reprise a movie that they all knew sucked. I mean, they had to know Valentine's Day sucked, right? The sentimentally here will make you want to barf, and the contrived interlinked stories are so bad that you'll probably feel like starting an argument with your partner during the car ride home just so you can feel like you paid for some drama that night.
