New Year’s Eve is a sequel to the hit Romantic Comedy Valentine’s Day, with the holiday switched from Cupid’s day to the start of the new year.

Next to nothing is known about the picture at present. It looks like the producers just want to bring back the same ensemble for the sequel, with the same director and writer. No plot details have been released, and there may not even be a script yet. It will likely follow the same format as Valentine’s Day, with a variety of people finding romance in different ways.

What’s Good About It?

Admittedly, I never saw Valentine’s Day, but from what I understand of it, it was a nice film that proved feel-good for those who did watch it. Plus, it had both Jessica Alba and Biel in it.

Hot broads does it for me.

What’s Bad About It?

The concept of New Year’s Eve just sort of pisses me off. It’s just a terrible example of some of the worst things that movie studios do these days.

Our Clever Prediction

If this happens, and it’s still early enough to hope it doesn’t happen, I expect New Year’s Eve to make roughly the same money as the first. It’s not like fans are really going to get angry that the studio is cashing in on the first. These films are made solely for monetary gains, with no artistic value.
